Geophysicist Harry Coumnas Forecasts the Distant Future of Life on Earth
The global climate change has resulted in significant changes like magnified disasters, longer droughts, and stronger storms. The last few years have been witnessing drastic climatic chaos- all thanks to the human contribution towards overstuffing the sky with carbon dioxide and wreak havoc caused by the greenhouse effect, says renowned geophysicist Harry Coumnas.
With humanity causing such great devastation to the Mother Earth, nature too tends to reciprocate by sending occasional reminders to humans in the form of meteor explosions like 440,000 tons of explosive trinitrotoluene, asteroid flybys, regular earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
Harry Coumnas further enumerates plenty of innocuous oddities but these don't captivate humans for a long period citing the catastrophes. Nevertheless, appreciating what is present and working harder at sustaining it is the key to survival for the next one hundred trillion years down the lane.
Coumnas speculates the centric peek of Earth into a faraway future, which is based on considerable efforts and research, unlike the many doomsday predictions. The next hundred years are going to be a sweltering century marking the heating up of the Earth by as much as 10.8 degrees Fahrenheit, which in turn is said to spur a cascade of crises across the globe becoming a cause of severe floods, hurricanes, droughts, wildfires, and food shortages. The changing weather patterns will also cause an impact on the sea levels while becoming grounds for intense hurricanes.
With ground-breaking changes in climate in the next century, human life expectancy is expected to rise, enabling more and more people to live beyond the age of one hundred years. And, they working effectively towards straining the natural resources continuously, wiping out valuable wildlife and collision of the key ecosystem.
However, this all has a bright side too since the technology will progress and will off-set the climate-related problems while improving the energy efficiency, crop yields, and health care, and our great-grandchildren trying hard to forgive us for the mess caused, says Harry Coumnas jokingly.
