(ORDO NEWS) — According to the latest study by scientists concerned about global climate change, humanity will not be able to keep warming at the level of 1.5 degrees Celsius, provided for by the Paris Agreement.
Even in the event of a serious reduction in emissions into the atmosphere, this threshold will soon be overcome, writes Pnas.
This conclusion was made by artificial intelligence (AI), which scientists used to build a climate model.
According to the findings of AI, in the case of tight control of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, the climate on Earth will warm up by 2 degrees by 2054.
But in the event that pollution remains at the same level – by 2050.
Scenarios created by artificial intelligence are much more pessimistic than those considered earlier, scientists have recognized.
In general, by the end of this century, the average temperature on the planet can rise by as much as 5 degrees, which will lead to massive melting of glaciers and rising sea levels.
Earlier, climatologist Alexei Kokorin said that a complex of glaciers in West Antarctica, including the Thwaites Glacier, would raise the level of the World Ocean by three meters in the next century.
