The year 2047 will see inevitable climate change on earth

In just 34 years, the climate on our Earth will change forever and irreversibly. Scientists assume that the average temperature in the coldest time of the year will exceed that recorded in the warmest seasons over 145 years of development (from 1860 to 2005). This conclusion was made by scientists from the University of Hawaii, located in Manoa. The results of the scientists' research were recently published in the journal Nature.

The predicted climate changes will come to some regions earlier, to others a little later, but the fact is that the changes will affect the entire earth. Experts have calculated that in Mexico City, the Mexican capital, climate change will occur approximately in 2031. The first to experience all the "charms" of the new climate, in just seven years, will be the residents of Manokwari, an Indonesian city. According to scientists, residents of tropical regions will experience climate change earlier than residents of the northern hemisphere. The ongoing natural changes will hit the tropics the hardest, since these areas are rich in fauna and flora, even minor climate changes will become a serious problem for the ecosystem. First of all, many species of plants and animals will disappear. Even now, animals in northern latitudes are beginning to experience discomfort due to the melting of glaciers.

But not only plants and animals will experience the negative impact of the new climate, humans are also in danger: problems with water resources, rapid spread of infections, heat stress, mental health problems due to high temperatures. Large migrations of people in search of acceptable living conditions will lead to a struggle for natural resources, possible conflicts will cause geopolitical instability. In general, the life we are accustomed to will change completely, it is only a matter of time, scientists believe.

The onset of the "point of no return", as experts have called the inevitable climate change, can be delayed a little. To do this, we should closely address environmental issues, in particular, reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. But in any case, this will only slightly delay the onset of climate change, but will not eliminate the problem completely.

The warming process on Earth has been observed for a relatively short time, so it is impossible to say with certainty whether warming is occurring at all. Climate change on Earth depends on periodic processes that occur in the space-sun-earth system.

There are 4 groups of cycles that lead to climate change:

• super-long, occurring every 150–300 million years, associated with significant changes in the ecological situation on earth;
• long, associated with volcanic activity, can last for several tens of millions of years;
• short ones, lasting hundreds or thousands of years, are associated with ongoing changes in the parameters of the Earth's orbit;
• ultrashort, which are associated with solar activity. Cycles of 1400, 200, 90, 11 years are distinguished. It is likely that these cycles are the main ones in climate change on Earth.

However, there are few climate scientists who support this theory with cycles.
