The warning given by the UN in its report regarding the climate is shocking. According to it, deadly heatwaves will scorch more than 1 billion people in a few years.
Due to the damage caused to the environment by mankind, there is going to be devastation on the earth. Due to global warming, severe floods on the earth, sea-level rise due to melting frozen ice, deadly heatwaves, and drought conditions will be at their peak. The UN report has warned about the climate that by 2030, global warming could reach close to 1.5 ° C. Regarding this, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said that even if the use of fossil fuels is stopped by acting aggressively, then by 2050 global warming will cross this dangerous level.
“It has been clear for decades that the Earth’s climate is changing and the role of humans in this impact on climate is undeniable,” said Valerie Masson-Delmotte, co-chair of the IPCC’s Working Group 1. The report also said that the records reported regarding heat waves, rain, and drought are frightening as the climate body has warned that such deadly weather will spread across the world.
The head of the United Nations has said that this climate report should be the death knell for fossil fuels and their use should be stopped immediately. The report said that rising sea levels and rapid melting of the Earth’s ice are such events, which will not only bring back the situation again in centuries and thousands of years.
It has been said in the report that deadly heatwaves can scorch about 1 billion people worldwide. Not only this, crores of people will struggle for water due to drought. The report warns that coral reefs that enable fisheries to cover large areas of the world could die out on a large scale.
Under such conditions, if countries fail in their efforts, the world’s average temperature is expected to rise by more than 2 to 4 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial era. The UK has said that the report is ‘a a stern warning that humans are harming the planet at an alarming rate’.
