World’s oceans are heating up and the threat is real, according to climate experts. The global average ocean temperatures have increased to its highest point this week, reaching 20.96C and are expected to increase further, EU’s climate change service Copernicus reported.
Scientists are certainly convinced that July is the hottest month in the last 120,000 years, thanks to ever increasing temperatures. The UN chief ‘s shocking statement that the world is literally boiling also presents a bleak picture of the future ahead if things keep rolling out of control.
Heatwaves have become more and more frequent in the last few years, thanks to the increasing global temperatures. Chinese capital Beijing recorded the hottest day in the last 60 years with mercury hitting 41.1C (105.9F).
The increasing temperatures around the globe have been ringing the alarm for an extremely dangerous future for inhabitants of earth. According to a recent study comprising of international scientists, Glaciers in Asia’s Hindu Kush Himalaya are expected to lose 75% of its ice by the end of this century.
Most of us think that Climate change has just been around for not more than 20 years, which is far from reality. Early scientists have also been warning about the bad impact fossil fuels had on the environment. Scientists in the mid 1900s warned about the intense heat absorptive capacity of carbon dioxide, the primary cause of today’s climate crisis.
Earth is heading towards an imminent danger and has already surpassed 7 out of the 8 safety indicators. A research report by the Earth Commission published in the Nature journal emphasized on the continuously deteriorating situation on earth in terms of safety, health and justice.
Scientists have warned that stars will disappear in 20 years as light pollution continues to increase on earth. Scientists have been continuously warning about increasing space activity and light pollution on earth, both of which are contributing extensively to a future where people will not be able to see the beautiful stars at night.
Scientists have been repeatedly asking the world leaders and the general public to do something about the rising sea level that directly threatens the lives of millions across the world.

Earth’s temperatures have been increasing rapidly and crossing the limit of 1.5C threshold could have dangerous consequences as heatwaves, floods and droughts will become more frequent.
A new research study has revealed that the bodies of birds around the world are shrinking due to climate change. The study found out that although the bodies of birds are gradually getting smaller, their wings are growing, something the researchers found out specifically in the tiniest of the species.
