A group of scientists from Canada and the United Kingdom conducted a study according to which due to climate change,
There are many reports based on scientific research that talk about the long-term effects of climate change.They assess how rising greenhouse gas levels, temperatures, and sea levels will affectOn the basis of this data, for example, the Paris Agreement was drawn up.According to it, it is necessary to limit warming to below 2.0 °C compared to pre-industrial levels by the end of the century.In the new study, the researchers went further — they compared a variety of indicators and told what would happenwith the planet by the year 2500.
Scientists have made predictions of models of the globalclimate based on representative trajectories of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. In three forecasts, scientists took into account three options for climate change (low, medium and high levels of greenhouse gas pollution). Scientists also modeled vegetation distribution, heat stress and growing conditions for major crops to understand what environmental challenges today's children and their descendants may have to adapt to starting in the 22nd century.
In two scenarios out of three vegetation and the bestthe cultivated areas will be near the poles, and their total number will decrease. Places with important ecosystems, such as the Amazon Basin, will become barren. In addition, heat stress can reach lethal levels for people in tropical regions (they are now densely populated). Such areas may become uninhabitable. As a result, mankind will have nowhere to live and nothing to eat, scientists conclude.
