The Earth in 2022 is really "changing" and climate change seems to have exceeded "human limits". Extreme climate phenomena also pose a fatal risk to human beings, for example, the extreme heat in Spain and the death toll of thousands of people.
However, it seems that the planet's climate change is also going to continue and in 2022 it has already spread to all "corners" of the world, be it Asia, Europe or the Americas.
Even the sparsely populated North and South Poles are experiencing unusual weather conditions. The dramatic changes in Siberia have also raised human concerns, and the journal Nature Communications has once again issued a warning that humans should really be on guard.
And it may not be just a single climatic effect for the dramatic changes in Siberia, but something even more frightening may be on the horizon. So, people can't care less. What is this all about? Let's take a step-by-step look.
The strongest warming in 7,000 years! Siberia can't take it anymore
According to this report, the warming of the Siberian region is not unexpected, as the entire Arctic Circle region is warming. At the same time, its warming is stronger compared to other regions.
According to the Arctic warming trend published in 2022, it used to be thought that the Arctic was two to three times warmer than the rest of the globe, a phenomenon known as the Arctic amplification effect. However, the facts tell us that this one conclusion is not accurate.
The study, released through the Finnish Meteorological Institute, states that observations of the Arctic Circle between 1979 and 2021 show that much of the Arctic Ocean is estimated to warm at a rate of 0.75°C per decade during this period, at least four times the global average.
Some of these regions are even warming at a rate of 1.25°C per decade, seven times faster than the rest of the world. So, Arctic warming is a fact. And Siberia is only part of the Arctic Circle.
However, Siberia couldn't carry the load, and the Russian Academy of Sciences reconstructed the summer temperature change curve on the Yamal Peninsula for the past 7638 years by using annually resolved tree chronology records, and found that the effects of anthropogenic warming interrupted the temperature trend in the Siberian region, reaching an unprecedented rate of warming in the industrial era and raising summer temperatures to - above the levels reconstructed over the past 7000 years (30-year average and frequency of extreme summers).
Therefore, the warming of Siberia has become an unprecedented state in the past 7000 years, and the warming of the earth has made Siberia can't carry it.
So, the researchers believe that humans are already a major factor influencing climate change, which is true at least for parts of Siberia. However, it's really time for humans to be alert to the dramatic changes in Siberia, which are having an impact far beyond human imagination.
Siberia is a huge change, there are two major threats, human beings need to be alert under
From the scientific exploration of the situation, the huge changes in Siberia will bring two major threats, humans need to be alert under, which are the two major threats?
First, Siberia may "reverse" the warming of the Earth. We should know that Siberia is one of the natural areas for methane storage, and there is a large amount of carbon and methane under the permafrost.
As the Earth warms and the glaciers that hold carbon and methane are melted, they are subject to rising outside temperatures and are constantly being released. However, it is important for everyone to know that methane is a potent greenhouse gas that has the potential to make global warming 28-34 times greater than carbon dioxide in 100 years, a ratio that increases to 84-86 times if measured over a 20-year period.
So, there could be a major explosion of methane under global warming, while natural gas hydrates under the permafrost contain 20 billion tons of carbon, about four times the amount of methane in the atmosphere, according to research estimates. Then the joint release of carbon and methane will raise the Earth's warming again.
Therefore, the possibility that Siberia could "reverse" the warming of the Earth is extremely strong, and it is not limited to the warming caused by human emissions, but the natural release of carbon, methane and other substances to warm the Earth. This is a "double effect" of the Earth's warming.
Second, the Siberian giant change, so that the human race terrible things or will be released on a large scale, which is the need for human vigilance, what is it? That is what we call ancient germs.
This is evidenced by the fact that scientists have found a virus sealed for tens of thousands of years in the permafrost of Siberia, which is a large virus species, reaching 1.5 microns, which contains more genes than ordinary viruses and can be easily observed through a microscope.
However, it is frightening that after the discovery of this virus, it has not "died" for tens of thousands of years, and it is once again infectious.
So, at that time, researchers warned that the melting of the permafrost due to global warming and industrial development in the Arctic could resurrect some viruses that are dangerous to humans. For example, activities such as drilling can regenerate viruses that have been dormant for a long time.
We can imagine what if these ancient viruses or ancient germs that have been sealed for tens of thousands of years have a great impact on human beings?
And global warming is an important factor that triggers the release of these ancient germs, awakening. So, this is the Siberian giant change, these two major threats, mankind needs to be alert under.
Once awakened, it will have a fatal impact on life, which may be a "catastrophe" for the life circle of the region. Therefore, we expect that the huge changes in Siberia can be stopped sooner than later, and the root of the change is what we call global warming.
We don't know when humans can reverse the warming trend, but if we do, then we have the potential to reduce these risks.
However, the possibility that humans are still accelerating the release of these ancient pathogens is only sad in light of the warming trend, as the warming continues and humans have yet to really wake up to change the climate.
Summary
The warming of the Earth is triggering huge changes around the globe. In addition to the Siberian shift we have mentioned, in the midst of 2022, you should also appreciate that global warming triggers stronger fluctuations in atmospheric circulation, and the anomalous fluctuations trigger stronger extreme climate phenomena.
The summer of 2022 has seen historic heat and rainfall in many countries around the world, most of which were "triggered" by humans. Therefore, extreme climate change is brought about by human changes to the earth, and to make the earth better, we can only reduce greenhouse gas emissions and plant more trees to mitigate the earth's climate change.
If it continues to deteriorate, not to mention that other life forms on Earth can not carry it, including our own human beings, it may be difficult to escape the impact of natural disasters.
If there is a sixth biological extinction on Earth, it is inevitable that humans will eventually be unable to escape the effects of biological extinction. Although this sounds a bit outrageous, but humans as a link in the biological chain, any instability may also affect, extreme climate change is more directly fatal impact.
