Two possibilities

Two possibilities for the earth's future : End or Ice age

American scientists have noticed the highest proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on Earth. America-based Mauna Loa Observatory monitors the carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere from the 1950s. In 1959, the average amount of carbon dioxide was 315.97 which was increased to 408.52 by 2018. If the average is considered from 1959 to 2018, the carbon level has increased by 1.57 ppm every year. According to Observatory, the current level of carbon dioxide has reached to 415.26 parts per million.


30 million years ago, the amount of carbon was increased at this level. At that time the water level of the sea was high and the big part of Antarctica was covered by the forest. Researchers of Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research are saying that the rising level of carbon needs to stop first but the level of carbon is increasing due to prodigal use of fossil fuel. In addition to carbon, the number of toxic gases such as Methane, Nitrate Oxide is increasing.


The year 2019 is affected by El Niño and other hurricanes. Comparing to the previous year, the level of carbon will more than 3 ppm. It is noteworthy that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere crossed the 400 PPM figures for the first time on May 9 May 2013. According to the Paris agreement of 2015, the Earth's temperature needs to reduce the 2 degrees Celsius and reduce the 1.5 degrees Celsius immediately. The surface temperature of the Earth has already increased by 1 degree. The last 4 years were the hottest years of human history. This carbon level is increasing due to the continuous emissions of greenhouse gases which is a threat for the entire humankind.


There are two possibilities for the earth's future. Greenhouse gases will destroy life on earth or it will lead the world towards another Ice age.
