THE FUTURE OF OUR EARTH

Let us educate ourselves on knowing about Our living Planet THE EARTH to maintain a healthy and peaceful relationship between Biotic factors and Abiotic factors. All we see now is 4 different colors mixed in various proportions to provide a beautiful 3D shaped ball-like called Earth. What would happen to it, if we continue to follow the same path of life and bring in new Artificial developments as a band aid for Human's anxiety and curiosity ?? Might be it will be swallowed by our sun, could get exploded or get hit by an Asteroid etc, etc, etc...., Abrupt changes in the climatological condition have already begun, with more possibility by the end of this century according to a report released by the National Research council. Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities have altered the climate badly. Yet, most of the changes occurring around us have been gradual, the possibility of abrupt shifts concerns the scientific community a lot more.Tipping points from abrupt climate change became a research priority in the early 2000s. At that time, there were growing concerns that melting ice in the northern Atlantic could cause ocean circulation to come to a halt.“Since then, knowledge has gotten better,” Richard Alley, a Geo-scientist at Penn State and one of the report’s authors, said in an interview. “Now we are less worried about an Atlantic shutdown.” The new report highlights shifts that are of growing concern. The precipitous decline of summer Arctic sea ice since 1979, but particularly over the past decade, is one of the most notable sudden changes already occurring. That trend is likely to continue and have a cascade effect on ecosystems in the region as well as impacting shipping, oil and natural gas exploration, and national security. While changes in the Arctic might be most visible, it’s changes in the globe’s lower latitudes and oceans that are of equal or greater concern, Alley said. Those areas are where the majority of people and animals live and most of the world’s food is produced. The current rate of climate change is one most likely not seen in 65 million years. The rate of warming is likely to increase in the coming century, and that means some species, particularly those in mountainous regions, might not be able to adapt fast enough or they’ll simply run out of room to migrate. Beyond changes, Alley said the report also focuses on impacts including, “more strongly emphasizing that even gradual climate change can have abrupt impacts on people and ecosystems.”
