Problems such as climate change and global warming are
rapidly gaining control of our planet, as if by the end of this century, the
world would be inaccessible to humans.
Due to the rapidly warming environment, the weather is also
increasing, especially in summer. To find out how fast we are warming our
earth, experts at the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied the rise in ground
temperature from the 1950s to 2019, and estimated how much temperature we had
throughout this period. Have added heat to the atmosphere of our planet.
This number is so large and unusual that it is extremely
difficult to understand; and it is "228 sextyllian" joules, ie 2280
billion trillion joules! If you really want to know how big this number is,
then add another 21 digits with zero (0) to 2280.
During the Second World War, the energy released by the
American atom bomb that made the Japanese city of Hiroshima a pile of dust was
63,000,000,000,000 joules. If the energy emitted from this bomb is taken as a
unit, then in the last 25 years, we have exploded 3 billion 60 million 'thermal
atom bombs' on our oceans, which is increasing over time.
According to the Chinese experts, the average 25-year average
was as much as the energy of the four atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima each
second, as we were adding to the atmosphere. However, in 2019, the average has
risen dramatically, and we are now adding 5 atom bombs per second to the same
amount of heat in groundwater.
If the example of the atom bombs sounds strange, then
suppose that every human in the world has 100 degrees of hair on it and they
are oriented towards the oceans.
The report, published in the latest issue of the research
journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, shows how fast humans are pushing
Earth to a catastrophe. But the question is, are we still ready to handle it?
