The choice is ours to make—will we heed the lessons from our planetary neighbor, or could we potentially be next?
As Earth's climate continues to change at an unprecedented rate, spurred by industrial activity and increased greenhouse gas emissions, the question arises: Are we heading towards a fate similar to that of Venus? Venus, often referred to as Earth's "evil twin," experienced runaway greenhouse effects that rendered it inhospitable with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead and an atmosphere thick with carbon dioxide.
The U.N. report warns climate change will likely make the world sicker, hungrier, poorer and more dangerous in the next 18 years with an “unavoidable” increase in risks.
Today’s children who may still be alive in the year 2100 are going to experience four times more climate extremes than they do now even with only a few more tenths of a degree of warming over today’s heat. But if temperatures increase nearly 2 more degrees Celsius from now (3.4 degrees Fahrenheit) they would feel five times the floods, storms, drought and heat waves, according to the collection of scientists at the IPCC. Already at least 3.3 billion people’s daily lives “are highly vulnerable to climate change” and 15 times more likely to die from extreme weather, the report says. Large numbers of people are being displaced by worsening weather extremes. And the world’s poor are being hit by far the hardest, it says.
