Study Shows Melting Glaciers May Cause Pandemics In Future

An interesting development has revealed that the recent and the future like Covid-like pandemics may have a secret hidden in climate change. Viruses in the frozen areas of the Arctic may spill over and get in contact with the population causing worldwide dangerous pandemics.

Data Reveals 5,000 ‘Empty Flights’ In UK Since 2019

Leading British News agency ‘The Guardian’ reveals that 5,000 completely empty flights have flown in and from the UK since 2019. The shocking numbers raised concerns with regards to the gasses harmful to environment flights emit in a single flight.

Megadrought In Southwest Now The Worst In 1,200 Years

Southern and Western parts of the country have been experiencing the driest years and the hottest ones as the temperature rises more frequently. The climatologists and scientists have blamed human-induced climate change. The rivers are drying up and they are at their record level low at the moment. The temperature has already risen by 1.5C, adding to already existing heatwaves making cities like Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada, Phoenix almost uninhabitable during summers.

Ice Melting Faster Than Expected In Greenland Due To Climate Change

A latest study in the Leading scientific journal, Nature, has published a report saying that Greenland Ice sheets are melting at a faster rate than ever. The report shows a horrible reality that the world is yet to see in the near future. The Greenland Ice sheets are going to melt at a much faster rate even if humans stop burning fossil fuels. Sea level can rise up to 27 cm which will have devastating consequences for billions of people living around coastal areas.

44 Countries & 7 Billion To Face Intense Water Shortage By 2040

The consequences of Climate Change are slowly trying to materialize in already fragile world with social inequalities, poverty and wars. With extreme heat waves, rising sea level and unsustainable use of fossil fuels, Planet earth is believed to have been facing the worst climate crisis that can lead to extinction or even nuclear wars in the near future. Earlier this year, Pakistan, India, Europe, China, Africa and the United States faced extreme heat waves across major parts of the countries leading to wildfires and billions of losses in economic activity.

5.9 Trillions Tonnes Of Ice Lost Due To Climate Change In 25 Years

Most scientists had once assumed that the massive Ice sheets of Antarctica were largely invulnerable to climate change, but not any more. During the past 25 years, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet has contributed significantly to rising sea levels, mainly caused by climate change. It is estimated if, due to some reason, the Eastern two-thirds of the ice sheet melted, the sea would rise by 52 meters.

‘Megafloods’ could destroy California, Experts warn

Wildfires, extreme drought and earthquakes, due to climate change, may be the main concern for the Western Europe right now. But experts warn that a catastrophe is materializing in California, “Megafloods”. Extreme floods may submerge the largest subnational economy, displace millions of people across the state and will be the most expensive natural disaster in the history, according to a latest study.
