MOSCOW, Aug 10. Global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius would be a disaster for some Pacific island states, experts warned. According to them, the countries of this region have long suffered from strong sea tides, powerful cyclones, prolonged droughts and salinization of groundwater, which harms agriculture. In addition, many islands are being submerged due to rising sea levels. According to scientists, these cataclysms will occur more often as the planet warms up.
«The Pacific islands are likely to be hit hardest by global warming. We will continue to see sea level rise. <...> This will make places like Kiribati, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands uninhabitable,» he said Nicola Cazule, head of research at Greenpeace Australia Pacific, for the Guardian.
The day before, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a report according to which the Earth will overcome the critical temperature threshold of 1.5-2 degrees Celsius in 2030. Scientists have indicated that this process will affect the whole world and make it unstable: showers and floods, droughts and sea level rise will occur much more often. Experts called on all countries of the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere in order to stabilize the temperature on the planet for 20-30 years. Otherwise, experts believe, humanity will not be able to contain global warming, which will cause critical damage to agriculture and health.
