Why do I advise you not to travel to Antarctica?

With the rapid development of the tourism industry, many beautiful places on the earth have become tourist attractions. Every year, thousands of tourists go to the scenic spots to punch in. In addition to some conventional places with good mountains and good water, Antarctica has also become one of the places where tourists punch in crazily in recent years. The scenery in Antarctica is infinitely beautiful. The local government has specially set up a place for tourists to punch in, which is a special area for tourists to play. Many tourists come here every year.

The Antarctic is a pure land, covered with snow, and the purest and cleanest place on earth. Being here, you will be baptized and feel back to the starting point. In the Antarctic, you can watch penguins during the day and enjoy the aurora at night, which is beautiful and the most beautiful scene in the world. It is such a beautiful place that more and more people are fascinated by it and come here to play every year. But here I would like to advise you: if possible, try not to travel to the South Pole, not because of the cold, but for the sake of the earth.

There is an article published in Nature-Communication, which points out that Antarctic tourists make Antarctic snow melt faster.

To go to Antarctica, you need to take ships and other means of transportation. At present, most ships are still powered by oil, and ships will emit a lot of black carbon and polluting gases during driving. Scientists have found that the concentration of black carbon near tourist landing points and scientific research stations in Antarctica is significantly higher than that in other areas. After the increase of black carbon concentration, the thickness of snow on the Antarctic ground decreased by 23 mm.

Black carbon is very harmful to the Antarctic climate and environment. People will produce black carbon after using fossil fuels. Ships and fuel equipment in scientific research stations are the main forces to produce black carbon. Black carbon absorbs light and heat, causing the temperature of snow to rise. When black carbon covers the Antarctic snow, the heat absorbed by black carbon will be transferred to the snow, and it is not easy to escape, thus accelerating the speed of melting snow in Antarctica and destroying the Antarctic environment.

With the development of tourism, more and more tourists will arrive in Antarctica in the future, so this is a potential threat. If the number of tourists keeps increasing, the melting speed of snow in Antarctica will continue to increase, and the final result is that all the snow in Antarctica will melt and become a bare land, which is no longer beautiful. Finally, Antarctica will become a wasteland from a tourist attraction and no one will pay attention to it.

It can be seen that receiving 53, tourists every year has already brought a burden to Antarctica. Therefore, in the following days, we should reduce the number of tourists and adopt clean energy transportation, and reduce the amount of black carbon in many ways, so as to make Antarctica more beautiful because of human protection, instead of blindly consuming Antarctica.

In fact, the climate environment in Antarctica is extremely fragile, especially after global warming, Antarctic glaciers have decreased, ice shelves have collapsed, and Antarctica has completely changed. Under the background of global warming, Antarctic penguins are also facing survival crisis. After the temperature rises, a large number of glaciers melt, and the penguin habitat area decreases.

After the temperature rises, some marine life in Antarctica can't adapt to the rising sea temperature, so a large number of deaths occur, including krill, the food of penguins. Penguins also have a hard time under the dual influence of reduced habitats and food sources. Maybe you will find some penguins that have a hard time when you appreciate penguins.

Global warming is the biggest survival problem that mankind has encountered in this century. If it is not solved in time, it may face more disasters. Scientists say that the carbon emissions generated by human beings will increase by 14% in the next decade, when droughts, heat waves and other abnormal situations will occur frequently. Only by controlling the temperature rise within 1.5 degrees Celsius can human beings control the situation and prevent it from getting worse.

Mr. Hawking once said that global warming is one of the urgent problems for human beings, and it is likely to become a stumbling block to human development and even a factor to destroy human civilization. Therefore, we need to find ways to alleviate and solve global warming as soon as possible, nip the danger in the cradle as much as possible, and ensure the stable and sustainable inheritance of human civilization.

Global warming is not only related to the earth's environment, but also to the survival of human beings. Never put yourself in danger. If you really wake up when serious consequences happen and start looking for a solution, then it will be too late. According to scientists, humans still have 1 years to change the climate. So is everyone ready?
