Earth could be ALIEN to humans by 2500: Shocking images reveal how the Amazon will be barren, the American Midwest tropical and India too hot to live in if CO2 emissions continue to rise
到2500年,地球可能不适合人类居住:令人震惊的图片显示,如果二氧化碳排放量继续上升,亚马逊河流域将变得贫瘠,美国中西部的热带地区和印度将因太热而无法居住
In one song by English pop band Busted, 'not much has changed' by the year 3000, 'but they live underwater'. New climate predictions, however, paint a less rosy future.
在英国流行乐队Busted的一首歌写道,到3000年“变化不大”,但他们生活在水下”。然而,新的气候预测描绘了一个不那么乐观的未来。
If carbon dioxde emissions continue to rise, the Amazon will be barren, the American Midwest tropical and India too hot to live in come the year 2500.
如果二氧化碳排放量继续上升,到2500年,亚马逊河流域将变得贫瘠,美国中西部的热带地区和印度将太热,而无法居住。
This is the gloomy warning of a research team led from Leeds University who modelled future climates under three greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios.
这是利兹大学领导的一个研究小组发出的令人沮丧的警告,他们在三种温室气体缓解场景下模拟了未来气候。
They then illustrated their worst case scenarios — alongside sketches of life in the year 1500 AD and the present — to highlight how alien the future Earth could be.
然后,他们描绘了最糟糕的状况——以及公元1500年和现在的生命草图——以强调未来的地球可能有多么的不适合人类居住。
The findings, they said, highlight the importance of not stop climate predictions at the 2100 benchmark, as is common, but also considering the ongoing impacts.
他们说,这些发现强调了在2100年基准上不停止气候预测的重要性,这是很常见的,但也要考虑到持续的影响。
The study was undertaken by environmental social scientist Christopher Lyon, formerly of Leeds but now based at McGill University in Montreal, and his colleagues.
这项研究是由环境社会科学家克里斯托弗·里昂和他的同事们进行的,里昂以前在利兹工作,现在在蒙特利尔的麦吉尔大学工作。
'We need to envision the Earth our children and grandchildren may face, and what we can do now to make it just and liveable for them,' Dr Lyon said.
里昂博士说:“我们需要设想一下我们的子孙后代将要面对的地球,以及我们现在能做些什么来让这个地球适合他们居住。”
'If we fail to meet the Paris Agreement goals and emissions keep rising many places in the world will dramatically change.'
“如果我们不能实现《巴黎协定》的目标,排放量继续上升,世界上许多地方将发生巨大变化。”

Meanwhile, Antarctica has just had the coldest winter EVER recorded with an average of -78 degrees and as low as -150 degrees.
与此同时,南极洲刚刚经历了有记录以来最冷的冬天,平均温度为零下78度,最低温度为零下150度。

The climate crisis is propaganda, look no further than the geological history of the world. I am a Geologist that went through the panic of climate warming, climate cooling in the late 90's early 2000.
气候危机只是一种宣传,只要看看世界的地质历史就知道了。我是一个地质学家,在90年代末2000年初经历了气候变暖和气候变冷的恐慌。

When Al Gore made his famous movie in 2006 he said that the current coastlines would be under water in ten years and then he bought the beach house he still lives in today.
阿尔·戈尔在2006年拍摄他的著名电影时说,现有的海岸线将在10年内被水淹没,然后他买了海边的房子,现在仍然住在那里。

BE AFRAID! VERY VERY AFRAID!!!!! This public service announcement brought to you by people who want you to give them all your money so they can fight the weather.

One of the first Earth Day predictions on April 22, 1970 (Lenin's 100th birthday) was that Britain would no longer exst by 2000.
1970年4月22日(100岁生日),第一个世界地球日的预言之一,预言到2000年英国将不复存在。

Another unprovable junk study. These idiots can't predict the regional weather a day in advance half the time and half the simpletons actually believing they can predict the climate of the entire planter 500 years from now.
又一个无法证明的垃圾研究。这些白痴连提前一天的天气都预报不准,傻瓜才会相信他们能预测500年后整个地球的气候。

I remember when these same geniuses said that the northern hemisphere would be under a mile thick layer of ice by 1990. I don't believe anything they predict. All their predictions have been 100% wrong.
我记得这些天才说过,到1990年,北半球的冰层将会不足一英里厚。我不相信他们的预言。他们所有的预测都是100%错的。

just look back at all the lefts predictions and see that none of them came true.
只要回顾一下左派的预言,就会发现没有一个是真的。

Absolute rubbish. They've been predicting the end of the world since the 70's, and not one prediction has ever happened.
荒谬。他们从70年代就开始预言世界末日,但从来没有一个预言成真。

Yeah sure it will. The sky will fall in, the seas will boil, the sun will explode and EastEnders will have adverts. It's end of days unless you stop enjoying life, live in a cave and eat bugs. Jog on DM.
是的,肯定会的。天会塌下来,海会沸腾,太阳会爆炸,伦敦东区会有广告。除非你不再享受生活,住在洞穴里,吃虫子,否则世界末日就到了。

Back in 1990, CNN reported that everybody is going to die from Global Warming by the year 2000. I've gone through acid rain and hole in the Ozone and other contrived B S, I'm still alive and don't anticipate checking out too soon!
早在1990年,CNN就报道说,到2000年,所有人都将死于全球变暖。我经历了酸雨、臭氧空洞危及预言,我还活着,估计没那么快离开!
