This is an undeniable fact and there is consensus among 97% of active publishing climate scientists. </p>\n<p>Now, the earth's climate has always been subject to change, but the rate at which this is happening has severely increased since the start of the industrial revolution. </p>\n<p>The earth's surface temperature has risen by almost 1°C since the late 19th century. Most of that increase has happened in the last 35 years. </p>\n<p>An added consequence of this is that the world's oceans are also experiencing an increase in temperature. This together with acidification could be quite detrimental for marine life. Don't forget that there are a lot of societies who depend on feeding their population a largely pescetarian diet. </p>\n<p>Then there's the rise of sea levels, which could wipe out entire cities if this process isn't halted in time. We've almost reached the point of no return, which means that in a couple of years, the effects cannot be stopped anymore. </p>\n<p>Sources: </p>\n<p>https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/</p>\n<p>https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/</p>\n<p>https://www.earth-syst-dynam.net/9/1085/2018/</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f32ys2v85","appParentAuthor":"gregorygory","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
