Earth Will Be Even Warmer Than It Already Is, Scientists Warn

Leaders from different countries are gathering to solve the climate change. World leaders were warned by scientists to focus more on the movement against global warming, for the Earth is getting warmer every day. If not, the Earth will reach a dangerous warming level.

During the Universal Ecological Fund conference in Argentina, six scientists who were past leaders in the international climate conference joined them to hand-in a brief report. They said that the promise made by 190 nations in the Paris agreement to examine the carbon pollution's cuts and curbs is not enough.

The six scientists also warned that if the heat-trapping gasses will not be solved soon, the Earth will be warmer by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. Basing on their report in 2009, the world leaders agreed that they wanted to stop the warming of 3.6 degrees above pre-industrial levels. But, the temperature now, is 1.8 degrees higher.  If the temperature will rise another 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit mark, the Earth is in the dangerous warming level, according to Indian Gazette.  

Sir Robert Watson, the lead author of the report form the University of East Anglia, said "The pledges are not going to get even close if you governments of the world are really serious, you're going to have to do way, way more," as reported by New York Times.

Robert Watson and his colleagues calculated that if the carbon pollution will continue with just the emission cuts, the Earth will hit the danger mark in 2050. Their team also suggested that the danger level will be delayed for 20 more years if nations will campaign to cut the carbon pollution emission a little bit more.

Meanwhile, the head of Earth system analysis at the Potsdam Institute in Germany, Stefan Rahmstorf, shared that "It is a good summary of what is common knowledge in the climate expert community but not widely appreciated by members of the public and even policy makers, so indeed it is a useful reminder notice to the world about what is at stake."
