Earth after global warming
Earth after global warming. Computer artwork of a future Earth where the ice-caps have melted due to global warming. Greenland (green, upper left) has lost its ice-cap, and the Arctic Ocean is free of sea ice. Although global warming can be part of a natural cycle, many scientists believe that human activities have contributed to the observed global warming. Industrial pollution has increased levels of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. This traps the Suns heat in the atmosphere, preventing it from being radiated back out from the ground into space. A rise in the average temperatures by a few degrees Celsius could melt the ice caps in a few hundred years, causing large rises in sea levels, plus more storms (hurricane, lower left) and increased desertification (Sahara, lower right)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking computer artwork captures a glimpse into the future of our planet, Earth, after global warming has taken its toll. The once pristine ice-caps of Greenland have vanished, leaving behind a striking green landscape in the upper left corner. The Arctic Ocean is now free of sea ice, symbolizing the dramatic changes that have occurred. While global warming can be part of a natural cycle, many scientists firmly believe that human activities have significantly contributed to this observed phenomenon. Industrial pollution has led to increased levels of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas responsible for trapping the Sun's heat in our atmosphere. This prevents it from being radiated back out into space from the ground below. The consequences are dire: average temperatures rising by just a few degrees Celsius could lead to the complete melting of ice caps within a few hundred years. This catastrophic event would result in alarming rises in sea levels and unleash more frequent and intense storms like hurricanes as depicted in the lower left corner. Additionally, desertification would spread further across regions such as Sahara (lower right), exacerbating environmental challenges. This powerful illustration serves as an urgent reminder that we must address climate change and take immediate action to mitigate its devastating effects on our precious planet. It highlights both the fragility and resilience of Earth while emphasizing humanity's responsibility to protect and preserve it for future generations.
