Earth May be to hot by 2300

Climate change could make much of the world too hot for human habitation within just three centuries, research released Tuesday showed.


Earth may be too hot for humans by 2300: study
Scientists from Australia's University of New South Wales and Purdue University in the United States found that rising temperatures in some places could mean humans would be unable to adapt or survive.

"It would begin to occur with global-mean warming of about seven degrees Celsius (13 Fahrenheit), calling the habitability of some regions into question," the researchers said in a paper.

"With 11-12 degrees Celsius warming, such regions would spread to encompass the majority of the human population as currently distributed."

Researcher Professor Steven Sherwood said there was no chance of the earth heating up to seven degrees this century, but there was a serious risk that the continued burning of fossil fuels could create the problem by 2300.

"There's something like a 50/50 chance of that over the long term," he said.

The study -- which examined climate change over a longer period than most other research -- looked at the "heat stress" produced by combining the impact of rising temperatures and increased humidity.

Sherwood said climate change research had been "short-sighted" not to probe the long-term consequences of the impact of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

"It needs to be looked at," he told AFP. "There's not much we can do about climate change over the next two decades but there's still a lot we can do about the longer term changes."

In a commentary on the paper, published in the US-based Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Australian National University academics said climate change would not stop in 2100.

"And under realistic scenarios out to 2300, we may be faced with temperature increases of 12 degrees (Celsius) or even more," Professor Tony McMichael said.

"If this happens, our current worries about sea level rise, occasional heatwaves and bushfires, biodiversity loss and agricultural difficulties will pale into insignificance beside a major threat -- as much as half the currently inhabited globe may simply become too hot for people to live there."

Who cares I would be dead by then

[CoolKid]

so would i but i watched the movie last night and im probably going to die 2020
cause of global warming.
did u see how many ppl died in italy!?

[Whee]

Wait, wait. Draco posting news?! Even more shocking...
But let me compare THIS idiotic article to promote global warming to another fact:
Our sun is a freaking star.
It'll die in about 1 million years, causing a supernova.
And before the star enlarges fully, Earth would be engulfed by the Sun in about 500,000 years; with 1 million years of age, the sun would be consuming Mars.
No, screw Global Warming.
Take a look at the oil spill; before global warming GETS us, we'll have destroyed ourselves by our own hands, destroying trees, hunting game, and whatnot the people do these days.
Our resources are limited, so screw global warming.

Nobody whos living right now in the earth will not be alive by then, so people here dont need worry about anything.

Super Nova...
We shall all die by the hands of the Black Materia. That too is fate.

You know, i kinda like u way back then wh33
Your just no fun now,
and who said i cared bout Global Warming?
Guess what, THIS IS JUST A PREDICTION MFG

[Whee]

I'll take "MFG" as mother f- genius.
:D
Psshaw, screw predictions; and the old me died with the rebirth of the site.
Sorry.
>.>
I just lurk now. Guess I'll go back to it.

Black hole will engulf everything.Kthanksbai.

So many ways for the world to end... I wonder which will happen to us?

So many ways for the world to end... I wonder which will happen to us?

World War 3...a nuclear war.....
Everything on earth will probably be contaminated and die and that means us too....
__________________________________________________________________________
2012 might actually happen o.O
____________________________
13 billions later the Sun will kill us
_____________________________
So what if the sun will kill us in 13 billion years..we would have the technology to help human kin survive before the sun can do any damage to us.

The world explodes :D
