Scientists explained that not everything is limited to direct exposure to high temperatures. Side effects such as financial crises, conflicts and new disease outbreaks can trigger further disasters and make it difficult to rebuild societies.
The fact is that successive pandemics caused by food shortages due to drought are forcing people to come into closer contact with reservoirs of viruses and bacteria. Additionally, there is rampant inflation as the economy struggles to cope with new ways of doing business in a warmer world. The scientists also said that by 2070, high temperatures and social and political ramifications will directly affect the two nuclear powers and seven laboratories containing the most dangerous pathogens.
If things continue as they are now – which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) believes it will be – we can almost certainly expect somewhere between 2030 and 2052 to be an average of 1.5 degrees warmer than pre-industrial, the researchers said. levels.
