Researchers say that new research shows that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached the highest level in the last 14 million years, and new climate changes have been created as a result. This amount of carbon dioxide can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of thousands of years and the effects of climate change will be strengthened as a result.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, new research by researchers shows that only since the last 14 million years, the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere has been equal to the current amount, and the results of this research indicate a dark future for the climate on earth.
In recent researches, the earth's climate has been investigated for 66 million years and biological and geochemical signs have been studied. Thus, in this research, the amount of carbon dioxide has been evaluated more accurately than in the past.
The results of this research show that the last time when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was equal to the current amount was about 14 to 16 million years ago. At that time, there was no ice in Greenland, the ancestors of humans had migrated from the forests to the plains to live.
The previous research announced this date about 3 to 5 million years ago. This shows that 50% of the existing greenhouse gases and 1.2 degrees of global temperature increase are caused by human activities.
Due to the progress of the emission of these gases, during the year 2100, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will be between 600 and 800 parts per million, which is considered unprecedented 40 million years ago. There was no freezing time in Antarctica, there were many differences between the plants and animals of the Earth and the current plants and animals.
