NASA warns: Life on Earth ends in a billion years!
Japan - A current study by the NASA supercomputer has provided significant findings about when life on Earth could end. According to the researchers who worked in collaboration with the Toho University in Japan, the earth will become uninhabitable in about one billion years. The main reason for this is the increasing luminosity of the sun, which will gradually lead to extreme surface conditions that make life impossible. This means that life on earth is expected to end around the year 1,000.002.021 when the oxygen content of the atmosphere drops dramatically, which has already achieved a critical point, comparable to the conditions before the great oxygen disaster about 2.4 billion years.
The researchers fear that the increase in sunlight will result in increased degradation of carbon dioxide. This affects the oxygen production of the plants, which ultimately leads to a significant loss of oxygen. The study explains that not extreme heat will be the biggest problem, but rather the shortage of vital oxygen, which will put the earth in an uninhabitable state. Anthropogenic factors and possible asteroid strikes were not taken into account in this study, which clearly focuses on natural development processes. The scientific knowledge emphasize the need for preventive measures to counteract the effects of climate change.
The influence of climate change
At the same time, human -made climate change is an accelerating factor. Global warming leads to massive changes that are already visible today. According to the NASA scientists, this increase in temperature, combined with a falling oxygen limit, will result in drastic changes in the earth's atmosphere. These changes are creeping and irreversible and canceled by increased intensity of solar storms and coronal mass stiries. These phenomena have a direct influence on the earth's magnetic field and contribute to the further reduction of the atmospheric oxygen.
In order to meet the impending challenges, research is intensified in order to find habitable planets in the universe. Technologies such as closed life support systems and artificial habitats are increasingly regarded as possible approaches to ensure the survival of mankind. Plans for the long-term colonization of space, including NASA and SpaceX, are at the top of the agenda.
forecasts for the future
A report by the World Climate District shows five possible scenarios for the future, in which various socio -economic paths and their influence on emissions are considered. These scenarios range from optimistic (SSP1) to dark (SSP3 and SSP5), whereby the optimistic variants are in harmony with the Paris Agreement. Through drastic reductions of fossil fuels, global emissions could reach zero until the middle of the 21st century.
- SSP1-1.9 (optimistic)
- SSP1-2.6 (optimistic)
- SSP2-4.5 (moderate)
- SSP3-7.0 (dark)
- SSP5-8.5 (absurd)
The temperature increase can vary between 1.4 ° C and 2.7 ° C by the end of the century. Optimistic assumptions offer the prospect of strong economic growth and improved living standards, while dark scenarios predict catastrophic effects of the climate crisis. In view of these developments, future development requires a radical rethink in the global community, in particular with regard to emissions.
