There is not much time left for mankind! The sea level is rising faster and faster, and the earth may become a "water balloon"

Many years ago, a sci-fi movie Interstellar showed us the possible future of mankind. The story is set that one day in the future, the earth will no longer be suitable for human habitation because of human destruction. At the critical moment of life and death, the protagonists secretly left the earth to find a new home.

After crossing the wormhole, I arrived at the other side of the universe, where there are several planets that may be similar to the earth's environment. One of them is based on the information sent back by the astronauts who arrived in advance, the planet with liquid water-Miller planet.

However, when the protagonists arrive in Miller, they find that the planet is full of sea water, and there is no land at all. The stormy waves will make everything on it disappear.

Speaking of it, there was no land on the earth in the early days of its birth. Even after the appearance of primitive oceans, the earth was once like Miller's planet, with endless waters everywhere. So, will the earth become the "Miller Planet" again in the future?

The sea level is rising.

Since human beings entered the industrial revolution in the18th century, more than 200 years have passed, and the earth is undergoing tremendous changes due to the influence of human industrial activities.

Global warming caused by the greenhouse effect leads to the melting of global glaciers in a large area. At the same time, the rise of seawater temperature has also led to the expansion of seawater and the rise of sea level.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the sea level has risen by tens of centimeters in the past century. Of course, this situation will be more serious after entering 2 1 century.

Researchers believe that the sea level of the earth is rising faster than we can bear, which means that by the end of this century, the global sea level will rise at least 1-2 meters.

What terrible consequences will this lead to? In addition to mulberry fields flooding the sea, various natural disasters will become more frequent, and coastal countries and regions will be flooded one after another.

Maybe everyone will think that the problem is not so serious. Then, let's look at the data given by a group of researchers: according to the current development speed of the greenhouse effect, the global sea level may rise by more than 60 meters in about 500- 1000 years, which means that human civilization may also come to an end.

Human civilization is counting down?

Let's see what happens when the sea level rises more than 60 meters. Look at North America first. The Florida launch base, which once launched manned spacecraft and sent humans to the moon, will be completely submerged and become one of the marine monuments. Most of the coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico will also sink to the bottom of the sea.

Similarly, the coastal areas of South America are also doomed. Except for the mountains in Central America, basically the whole American continent will be completely rewritten.

The same is true in Europe, Asia and Africa. Although the African continent will be slightly better submerged, we should not forget that the African continent has been a hot spot since ancient times, that is to say, even if it is not submerged, it will be too hot for human habitation.

Not to mention Australia and Antarctica, it can be said that the sea level will rise by 60 meters, not only hundreds of millions of people will be homeless, but also human civilization will enter the countdown.

Some friends may be curious, can humans leave the earth to escape before the disaster? Like emigrating to the moon or Mars.

Unfortunately, the answer is no, because for human beings, although people are racing against time in protecting the natural environment, there is a great probability that human beings will become losers, that is, when they leave the earth, they will be extinct with the surging sea water.

Why do you say that? Because whether you immigrate to the moon or Mars, you need to transform it into a shape suitable for human life, climate and environment, and various building facilities. Even if human beings are transformed from now on, it may take hundreds or even thousands of years. There is another possibility: maybe human beings will be in vain in the end.

Because transforming a planet is not like transforming a desert or reclaiming land from the sea, if human beings can artificially control the evolution of a planet, they will actually become "creators", which is obviously against the laws of the universe.

Of course, it is not completely impossible for human beings. For example, in the movie Interstellar, humans found a wormhole and reached another livable planet through it.

Is there really a second home in the universe?

The "carrying bag" here does not mean that there are all kinds of buildings on this planet. After human beings arrive, they can live in it like they live on the earth, but the climate on this planet is the same as that on the earth, or it is completely suitable for human habitation.

Looking at the whole universe, there are actually many planets suitable for human habitation. Researchers have previously said that many planets in the universe may be more suitable for human habitation than the earth, that is, more livable.

However, there is a question that human beings have to think about on these planets: Is there a civilization on them? Just like in Avatar, after discovering the rich mineral resources on Pandora, human beings go to Pandora to mine mineral resources, and then find that there is intelligent life on this planet.

In this way, if the strength of human beings is far above the civilization on another livable planet, then human beings will arrive there, just like the discovery of America by European navigators, belonging to invaders and colonists.

On the contrary, if the strength of these alien civilizations is above that of human beings, and human beings go, it is actually a moth to the fire, which is likely to accelerate the disappearance of human civilization.

In the final analysis, for human beings, if we want to continue civilization, whether we want to transform Mars or find a big planet to live in, what we should do in the realization stage should start with protecting the earth. After all, the earth is our home planet and the only home we see at present. Even if we want to leave later, we need to destroy it before we have enough strength, not in despair. what do you think?
