The sea level
The global carbon cycle is the trigger between the interglacial periods that could increase the earth’s geologic temperature in different climatic states. The climatic tipping points are projected to have potential effects in the ecosystems and the inhabitants of the earth. These effects could be frequent wildfires, droughts, increase in populations, and intense heat waves and tropical storms. The earth’s climate depends on the global emissions of trapping gases, that when left uncontrolled will lead to future strenuous impacts.
The sea level is likely to rise by 3-7 by 2100. This is due to the human activities that causes global warming which drives thermal expansion of sea water and melting of ice sheets and glaciers. Climate scientists predict that in the next century, there will be a rise in temperature in Greenland, and Antarctica that will increase the sea level with an approximate 42%. This will lead to catastrophic difficulties such as Tsunami, widespread flooding for the coastal living communities. The water occupation of the earth is expected to rise leaving a smaller portion of the mainland, which eventually in the next centuries if nothing is done, too shall be sweep into the waters.
In the next century, there will be a high heat record of the planet earth’s temperature. The human driven climate change and carbon emissions into the atmosphere tends to affect the ozone layer, leaving the earth’s surface exposed to too much heat from the sun. This will result into an accelerated melting of the ice. The tropic will have high temperatures all summer long and days will be hot and intense as what we consider today as unusual. The collapse of these ice shelves will increase seal level by two feet and could displace around four million people.
The increase in human activities in the next century is likely to increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. With the rising temperatures, the oceans are expected to absorb the gas and become acidic. This will destroy the tropical coral reefs. The high temperature and the global warming effects will likely to strain the water resources leading to more droughts and heatwaves. More natural disasters such as wildfires, storm surges and heat waves are projected to rise with the future climate changes. Schmidt says the Earth in 2100 will be somewhere between “a little bit warmer than today and a lot warmer than today.”
The prolonged effects of climate changes could lead to the earth losing some of its species in the Holocene extinction. The IPCC, 2014 report stated that a large fraction of terrestrial and freshwater species are likely to face extinction due to the increased acidity and temperature of the water surfaces. This will be as a result of pollution, over exploitation of the environment that will create adverse climatic effects on the inhabitants of the earth. There will be similar cases such as the Australian and the amazon rainforest bushfires that will threaten the source of food supplies and habitat due to the criticality of the situation they pose.
In the next century, the world’s will need at least 65% more foods, 50% more energy, ad 30% more water that it does now due to the high level global sustainability estimates. The earth is also likely to lose its forest cover due to human deforestation activities and unfavorable tropical conditions. Additionally, uncontrolled climatic changes shall lead to atmospheric rivers ad hurricanes. This is because high temperatures increase evaporation which results into high atmospheric water-vapor ration.
Feasible Solutions to Protect the Earth from Climate Changes
Foregoing Fossil fuels and adopting clean and efficient fuels. Eliminating combustion of coal, oil, and natural gases is the first step to save the earth. The solar and wind energies are the most efficient energy sources to fight climate change. Fossil fuels when burnt releases carbon dioxide and other gases which trap the atmospheric heat leading to global warming. Burning fossil fuel increases temperature by 1.5 degrees, affects biodiversity and lead to extreme weather changes. On the other hand, renewable energy sources and nuclear powers do not emit greenhouse gases, reduces the acidity of the environment and thus a more feasible option.
Afforestation and Stopping cutting down of tress. Cutting down trees to harvest timber and burn charcoal contributes a huge metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Afforestation and restricting deforestation could save up to 20% of human made greenhouse gas emissions. Paper recycling, proper forest management could balance the amount of cut down trees to eliminate the gas emissions. This can be furtherly pushed my buying only recycled wood products. The amazon and other forests are the earth’s lungs and keeping it more forested is the only best humanity’s hope of escaping ruthless effects of climate change.
Incentivize Carbon farming. The agricultural sector is the main source of greenhouse gases. A global legislation to incentivize carbon farming can help in improving the soil health which then reduces atmospheric carbon emissions. Thus type of farming could be helpful as ensures the carbon gases are stored in the soil instead of the atmosphere. Various governments should incentivize it as it is expensive and requires a lot of pesticides. This practice enables longer root systems that increases the carbon molecules in the soil while reducing their emissions. This too can result into increased supply of vegetarian foods as opposed to meat and dairy products which their production emits greenhouse gases.
