THE WORLD WILL BE NO MORE IN 2038

Science, technology, the satelites and the machines and the amazing devices all available in the world today make possible some of the most amazing predictions in the modern history, but also opens us to major problems like being lied to. Complexity of the machins=es and the level of technology of these devices compared to the average person level of knowledge makes it easy being lied to just because we don't know. Achild accepts whatever is taught to him because it has no knowledge, but as adults we have a choice to accept it or deny it. To some point, given compelling reasons, it would be best if we accept it. Scientists think, prove, test and report. Some suggest it is all bluffng and give us no evidence. Well here what scientists give as evidence.

1.OCEAN ACIFICATION

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the acidity of surface of ocean water has increased by about 30 percent. This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans. The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.

2. Global temperature rise

The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Farenheight (0.9 degrees celcius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere. Most of the warming occured in the past 35 years, with the five warmest years on record taking place since 2010. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year-- from January through September, with the exception of June -- were the warmest on record for those respective months.

3.GLACIAL RETREAT.

Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere almost everywhere around the world-- including in the alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.With few exceptions, all the alpine glaciers of the world are losing mass and it is predicted that this trend will continue as global warming progresses. Glaciers in alpine areas act as buffers. During the rainy season, water is stored in the glaciers and the melt water helps maintain river systems during dry periods. An estimated 1.5 to 2 billion people in Asia (Himalayan region) and in Europe (The Alps) and the Americas (Andes and Rocky Mountains) depend on river systems with glaciers inside their catchment areas. In areas where the glaciers are melting, river runoff will increase for a period before a sharp decline in runoff. Without the water from mountain glaciers, serious problems are inevitable and the UN’s Millennium Development Goals for fighting poverty and improving access to clean water will be jeopardized” United Nations Environment Programme, 2007 Global Outlook for Ice and Snow.

4.DECREASED SNOW COVER

Satellite observations reveal that the amount of spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere has decreased over the past five decades and that the snow is melting earlier. A recent study found an overall decrease in Arctic snow-cover extent (snow that covers the Arctic at the end of the spring) from 1967 through 2012, and an acceleration of snow loss after the year 2003. The rate of snow-cover loss in June between 1979 and 2012 was 17.6 percent per decade (relative to the 1979-2000 mean), which is greater than the rate of September sea-ice declinine during that same period, the researchers say. In fact, sea-ice extent — the area of ocean with at least 15 percent ice cover — reached a new record low in September, dwindling to 1.32 million square miles (3.41 million square kilometers), according to the U.S. National Snow & Ice Data Center, which tracks sea ice with satellite data.

5.SEA LEVEL RISE.

Global sea level rose about 8 inches in the last century. The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the last century and is accelerating slightly every year.Although the sea level has risen by 6.5 inches since 1950, nearly half of it (3 inches) has occurred in only the last 20 years. This small increase in sea level has caused a 200-400% increase in flooding nationally. Minor increases of even an inch in the sea level are causing real problems everywhere—from Texas to Florida to New York. Higher seas mean more water and more flooding during high tides, hurricanes and rainstorms.

6.EXTREME EVENTS

The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing since 1950. The U.S. has also witnessed increasing numbers of intence rainfall events. The intensity, frequency, and duration of North Atlanta hurricanes, as well as the frequency of the strongest (Category 4 and 5) hurricanes, have all increased since the early 1980s. The relative contributions of human and natural causes to these increases are still uncertain. Hurricane-associated storm intensity and rainfall rates are projected to increase as the climate continues to warm.

Winter storms have increased in frequency and intensity since the 1950s, and their tracks have shifted northward over the United States. Other trends in severe storms, including the intensity and frequency of tornadoes, hail, and damaging thunderstorm winds, are uncertain and are being studied intensively.

7.WARMING OCEANS.

The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of more than 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969. As global warming continues the oceans absorbs the extra heat from the atmosphere leading to its warming.

8.SHRINKING ICE SHEETS.

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost an average of 281 billion tons of ice per year between 1993 and 2016, while Antarctica lost about 119 billion tons during the same time period. The rate of Antarctica ice mass loss has tripled in the last decade.
