Today Sahara is large, it is even huge. Bigger than Australia! And I wonder if it’s easier to live in Sahara than in Antarctica. Nevertheless, you can find humans in Sahara, but in Antarctica not.
But many time ago Sahara was different than today, and there are some proves for that:in some caves from the Mountains Tassili-Tibesti there are incredible images, comparing with the situation from today: green planes, and domestic animals.
I propose now this approach: global warming will probably cause many wars in the future, due to lack of water, foods and so on. There is a major danger that the half of the mankind and 46 countries will be involved in conflicts emerging from the climatic changes. major reasons: soil erosion, the rise of the sea level, the melting of the glaciers, stronger tempests. I can give a terrible example: in Peru almost all the drinking water comes from the melt of the glaciers. In 2015, also in 8 years from now, almost all the glaciers will be melted already! Consequently, 27 000 000 people, inhabitant of this country, will suffer from thirsty. Normally, the authorities could meet some measures to prevent a major crisis, but Peru enjoys only a little democratic experience, has many outbreaks of local conflicts, and has territorial problems with the neighbors Chile and Ecuador. You can get the final picture: chaos, insurgencies, massive displacement of populations.
I am very concerned about the future of the mankind and about the future of our planet. Are you too? If so, let me know your opinion, please.
In my opinion, there are several crucial questions for our planet.
- demographic bomb
- environmental problems
- global warming
- the lack of raw materials for the industry. Soon (30 years) there will be no oil on earth!
- the lack of drinking water and food in many countries
