The earth can go back to the Triassic period

Scientists have calculated the rate of global warming.

The level of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere in the 23rd century may be compared to the level of carbon dioxide that was in the Triassic period.

Scientists from the UK predict that this will happen if humanity continues to use all available fossil fuel on the planet.

“We can’t directly measure the concentration of carbon dioxide millions of years ago. Instead, we rely on indirect data,” said geochemist Gavin foster from the University of Southampton in the UK.

Among other things, the analysis shows that carbon dioxide levels on Earth are growing incredibly quickly. The CO2 concentration was 280 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere during the industrial era, and in 2016 the figure was already 400 parts per million. If humanity continues to burn fossil fuels, Earth’s climate will approach to indicators of the Triassic. Then on the planet was dry and hot, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was about 2,000 parts per million.

According to scientists, the Earth would be hotter than in the epoch of the Trias, as our Sun for millions of years began to Shine brighter.

“Due to the nuclear reactions the Sun was becoming brighter.– This means that while carbon dioxide concentration was high in ancient times, the net warming effect was less,” – said study co-author Dan Lunt of the University of Bristol.
