Belgian scientists from the University of Brussels and other leading institutes have discovered that modern children will survive many times the climate disaster compared to their grandparents throughout their lives. The research was published in the Nature Science Magazine.
The team analyzed data on 1.69 billion young people from the age of 18.
The results showed that even with an optimistic scenario (+1.5 ° C), 52% of children born in 2020 will face extreme heat, something that previous generations do not know. At the same time, throughout their lives, the waves of heat, floods and other weather disasters will occur more often more than 2 times 7 compared to the life of those born in 1960.
With the current climate policy (+2.7 ° C), this index will increase to 90%.
This means that 1.5 billion children will have abnormal heat. During the pre -industrial period, such risks will be less than 0.01%, he explained, the main author, Dr. Luke Grant.
The researchers emphasized: Emergency measures may reduce half risks. In the scenario of +1.5 ° C, the number of children threatened to hunger will decrease from 400 to 316 million, the risk of forest fires will affect less than 25 million children and the tragic drought frequency will decrease by 20%.
Scientists call this data as a red code of Muslims to humanity. According to their calculations, the planet will surpass the death brand +1.5 ° C in the early 2030s, if you do not reduce 45% of emissions by 2030.
