The global COVID-19 epidemic from the end of 2020 to the present has exhausted people both physically and mentally. Another constant threat to the human living environment is the extreme changes in global climate, which can also be said to be global warming .
From 2021 to now, extreme climate events have occurred frequently around the world. Abnormal floods in France last February, extreme high temperatures in the United States in June, rare heavy rains in Zhengzhou, China in July; extreme high temperatures in India and Pakistan in May this year, extreme droughts in Henan, Shandong, China, and the western United States in South Korea... .Extreme climate events are distributed all over the world, frequently breaking historical records, and are extremely harmful, making it difficult for all parts of the world to deal with and at a loss. In the face of extreme climate, humans have become like a little ant at the mercy of the climate.
We don’t talk about the far side, we talk about the near side.
Extreme high temperatures: Yesterday and the day before yesterday, extreme high temperatures that were rare in history occurred in Hebei and Henan, breaking records in many places. Hebei Lingshou reached 44.2°C. Residents in many places in Hebei and Henan said it was terrible.
The highest temperature in Isesaki, Japan, reached 40.2°C. This is the first time in the history of Japan that the temperature in June has exceeded 40°C.
Extreme heavy rain: Yesterday, the precipitation in Morani, Prague, Czech Republic, reached 110mm in 24 hours, breaking the local 24-hour rainfall record since 1980.
Tornado: Yesterday, a loop of supercell ravaged Hebei and Inner Mongolia, my country, causing 4 major tornadoes and killing 8 people. There were also rare tornadoes in Guangzhou and Foshan some time ago.
and many more, the list is endless!
I wonder if anyone still remembers Hawking’s three predictions of :
Prophecy 1: The earth will enter an ice age in 2032 and global climate will warm.
Prophecy 2: Humans will leave the earth and immigrate to Mars in 2060.
prophecy three: In 2100, humans will enter outer space and a new race will appear.
Prophecy 4: The earth will face catastrophic destruction in 2215.
Prophecy 5: The earth will turn into a blazing "fireball" in 2600.
Prophecy 1 and 5 here are both directly or indirectly related to global extreme climate.
So will Hawking's prediction really come true?
is actually unknown to everyone. Today's climate is becoming more and more extreme, and we can't help but think about the consequences that the gradual deterioration of the climate will have on our future survival.
The earth is the only home for human beings to survive, and no one will wait to deal with climate change. At this critical moment that concerns the future and destiny of mankind, the international community should join hands to respond to the challenge of climate change, follow the path of green, low-carbon, and sustainable development, and promote the construction of a community of life between man and nature.
