Part of the planet will have difficulties surviving. Climatologist explained the consequences of global heat.
Part of the planet Earth is facing difficulties surviving due to abnormal heat. But there's no need to panic; humanity will not perish. This was reported by Denys Pishnyak, a candidate of geographical sciences who heads the Department of Atmospheric Physics and Geospace at the National Antarctic Scientific Center.
Pishnyak believes that this may lead to increased demographic problems and the migration of peoples from one region to another.
For Ukraine, the increase in air temperature poses a threat, as the country depends on agriculture. High temperatures can cause drought, leading to problems with drinking water. Ukraine is already using underground water for irrigation, which leads to the drying up of rivers, lakes, and wells.
Regarding the news about the temperature in Kuwait reaching 73 degrees and melting traffic lights, Pishnyak thinks that such a temperature could indeed be in the sun. However, regarding the traffic lights, he sees a bit of manipulation, likely due to quality plastic that could not withstand the heat.
Let's recall that 2023 was the hottest year that people have ever faced. However, this is just the beginning. Climate change researcher Jeff Goodell, in his new book, presents a pessimistic scenario of climate change that humanity must come to terms with.
