Abnormal changes in the Atlantic Ocean, Expert: Will it affect the global climate?
In mid-February, 20021year, the super cold current pouring down from the North Pole caused the snowstorm in Texas on the southern coast of the United States to collapse. At one time, the whole Texas was cut off from water and electricity, and food and vegetables could not be supplied. Millions of people began to starve, lacked medical care and food, and almost collapsed.
So, why did Texas encounter such strong cold weather? Is it really like Trump boasting that the earth is about to enter the Little Ice Age? In fact, it's not that simple.
Recently, an article was published in the international authoritative scientific journal Nature, focusing on the rare changes of Atlantic circulation. Scientists say that this change in the Atlantic Ocean is the chief culprit of this extremely cold weather in Texas.
Why do you say that?
Scientists tell us that the largest and most influential ocean circulation in the world is this Atlantic circulation, which has a huge scale and far-reaching influence, and the climate of the whole earth will be affected by this circulation. In normal years, the Atlantic circulation always transports the heat energy near the equator to the North Pole through circulation, releases the heat into the atmosphere, and then brings the low temperature of the North Pole back to the equator when it returns, thus regulating the tropical climate.
However, scientists' journals, mainly Nature, have recently published articles about this ocean circulation. Scientists tell us that the salinity and temperature of this most important ocean circulation are showing a rare low and weak change in the past 1000 years. It is this change that caused the snowstorm in Texas this winter. Unexpectedly, the sudden attack of the Atlantic circulation, which was already weak, actually tested the panic and incompetence of Americans in coping with the catastrophe.
So, what caused the Atlantic circulation to suddenly weaken?
Scientists believe that this is mainly due to the rapid melting of Arctic glaciers caused by global warming, which leads to the weakening of salinity and the enhancement of cold water rheology during the return of the Atlantic circulation. The change of Atlantic circulation also reflects the intensification of global warming. This phenomenon actually sounded the alarm for mankind. Scientists say that the snowstorm disaster in Texas is probably the first "appetizer" of extreme weather on earth, and then the global warming situation intensifies, and more extreme weather will become more and more frequent in countries along the Atlantic coast-North America, Europe, Africa and other places. Further, I'm afraid the climate of the whole earth will change dramatically.
Judging from the weakening of Atlantic circulation, we urgently need to actively intervene in greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, the rude Trump announced his withdrawal from the Paris Climate Association, which is actually the enemy of all mankind! Now that Biden's government has returned to the Paris Climate Association, it shows that the mainstream consciousness of human beings has realized that it is a legitimate behavior of human beings to unite around the world to deal with global climate change.
At present, China has solemnly promised to the world that by 2030, China's carbon emissions will be reduced to about 15%, which is a great contribution of a responsible big country to all mankind. I hope all countries in the world can take active actions, and don't be selfish and vacillating like the United States!
For the bright future of the earth and the bright future of mankind, let's actively advocate a low-carbon life, starting from everyone and starting from ourselves!
