Global climate change is no longer a future problem but a dangerous phenomenon that is more frequent and more severe, which requires investing wisely and preparing for large scale extreme events that even scientists cannot predict.
This is what Professor Emeritus of the American Wesleyan University, Gary Yohi, began an article in "Newsweek" magazine, in which he highlighted that this year the world witnessed some of the worst disasters in modern history that occurred due to human influence, and it is not expected that it will stop at this point.
What we know now, according to Yohei, is that what is to come will be worse than we can predict based on existing data alone, and that the damage, whether in terms of wealth or human life, will be of an unimaginable magnitude.
Those who do not realize this should ask those living in the northern hills of California, the Houston Valleys, New South Wales and Riverina in Australia, or Henan Province in China who have become alien to them, he said.
The professor warned that humanity seems deceived or unaware of the repercussions of its actions as it moves from one extremely dangerous climatic phenomenon to another, and even during the transition of these people to severe heat waves, forest fires, droughts and severe hurricanes, it seems that many are either oblivious to the seriousness of the situation or deny it, and in The reality is that buying a new home may at first appear to be an investment with serious consequences.
Yohi stressed that the follower of what is happening realizes that, with the year 2022 drawing to a close, there is no hope for things to return to normal again, and whoever seeks that is foolish, as it is expected that things will continue to deteriorate, not the other way around, according to the university professor.
He pointed out that people underestimate the consequences of climate change when making important decisions, such as buying a house, for example, highlighting the definition of risk as the probability of an event multiplied by the consequences that may result from it.
He concluded by saying that if we do not take into account the possibility of extreme catastrophes, we are all ignoring our responsibility in the face of active climate change.
