warning...,warning..,warning ...,

More than 15,000 scientists around the world have issued a global warning: there needs to be change in order to save Earth.

It comes 25 years after the first notice in 1992 when a mere 1,500 scientists issued a similar warning. 

·         Climate change likely helped fuel Harvey's strength

·         2017 set to be among top 3 hottest years, UN weather agency says

William Ripple of Oregon State University's College of Forestry, who started the campaign, said that he came across the 1992 warning last February, and noticed that this year happened to mark the 25^th anniversary.

Ripple found: 

·         A decline in freshwater availability.

·         Unsustainable marine fisheries.

·         Ocean dead zones.

·         Forest losses.

·         Dwindling biodiversity.

·         Climate change.

·         Population growth.

There was one POSITIVE outcome, however: A RAPID DECLINE IN OZONE DEPLETION.

Some 15,000 scientists from 184 countries worldwide have signed a letter warning that Earth’s atmosphere is on the road to destruction. The “World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity: Second Notice,” involves action to avert irreversible harm to the world.

The number of signatories is also the biggest for any published scientific paper ever, said co-author Thomas Newsome, a research fellow at Dakin University and the University of Sydney.

"To stop widespread misery and catastrophic biodiversity loss, humanity should follow a more environmentally sustainable various to business as usual. This prescription was well articulated by the world’s leading scientists 25years past, however in most respects, we've not heeded their warning. Shortly it'll be too late to shift course away from our failing trajectory, and time is running out. We tend to should recognize, in our regular lives and in our governing institutions, that Earth with all its life is our only home."

Twenty-five years ago, the Union of concerned Scientists and over1500 independent scientists, as well as the majority of living Nobel laureates within the sciences, enclosed the 1992 “World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity."

These involved professionals known as on humankind to curtail environmental destruction and cautioned that “a great modification in our stewardship of the planet and therefore the life on that is needed, if huge human misery is to be avoided.”

In their declaration, they showed that humans were on a collision course with the nature. They expressed concern regarding current, impending, or potential harm on planet Earth involving OZONE depletion, freshwater convenience, marine fishery collapses, ocean dead zones, forest loss, biodiversity destruction, global climate change, and continuing human growth. They declared that basic changes were desperately needed to avoid the implications our present course would bring.

The scientists pleaded that we stabilize the human population, describing how our large numbers— swelled by another 2 billion people since 1992, a 35 percent increase—exert stresses on Earth that can overwhelm other efforts to realize a sustainable future. They implored that we cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and phase out fossil fuels, reduce deforestation, and reverse the trend of collapsing biodiversity.

On the 25th anniversary of their call, we look back at their warning and evaluate the human response by exploring available time-series data. Since 1992, with the exception of stabilizing the stratospheric ozone layer, humanity has failed to make sufficient progress in generally solving these foreseen environmental challenges, and alarmingly, most of them are getting far worse.

The scientists pleaded that we tend to stabilize the human population, describing however our large numbers- vainglorious by another 2 billion people since 1992, a 355 increase- exert stresses on Earth that may overwhelm different efforts to understand a sustainable future. They implored that we cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and phase out fossil fuels, reduce deforestation, and reverse the trend of collapsing biodiversity.

On the 25th anniversary of their decision, we glance back at their warning and evaluate the human response by exploring accessible time-series knowledge. Since 1992, with the exception of helpful the stratospheric ozonosphere, humanity has didn’t create decent progress in usually determination these expected environmental challenges, and alarmingly, most of them have gotten so much worse.

They pointed out that in the past twenty five years:

·         The quantity of fresh water available per head of population worldwide has reduced by 26th.

·         The range of ocean "dead zones" - places wherever very little can live because of pollution and oxygen starvation - has increased by 75th.

·         Nearly three hundred million acres of forest have been lost, largely to make way for agricultural land.

·         Global carbon emissions and average temperatures have shown continued significant increases

·         Human population has risen by thirty fifth.

·         Collectively the amount of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish within the world has fallen by 29th.

 The first warning in 1992.
