Until recently it was assumed: Venus - second planet from the sun, shrouded in a dense layer of clouds - now as it was on Earth billions of years ago. When else in our lives and did not appear. They say that Venus is still to come - in the far - distant future. And if anything prettier neighbor shelter of humanity, if home planet gets messed up.
But now the popular hypothesis is much more gloomy. The fact that the best times for Venus has passed, the planet was lost forever. And no it does not have a future.
Worse than others: like it is waiting for us on Earth is the same - hell almost 450 degrees Celsius, a monstrous pressure - a hundred times higher than the earth, the stifling heat - almost 95 percent of carbon dioxide - and the rain of sulfuric acid. In short, a living hell. And organize it, you guessed it, global warming, believe in the reality of which is particularly easy this summer - too hot.
- Until a few years of this anomaly - and it can take a bad turn - scared now, many climatologists. - Will start, for example, melting permafrost. Or evaporate warmed beyond measure ocean. And allocate billions of tons of greenhouse gases. Global warming from this will be quite so disastrous - avalanche. And there, and to Venus at hand.
END OF THE BEST RESORT IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Alarmist climate scientists, supported not only the heat. But the experts of the European Space Agency ( ESA). Even last year they announced the sensational discovery: it is said, once Venus was not just a twin sister of Earth, as a haven. With a tropical climate. With warm salty ocean. With fresh flowing rivers. And the lack of oxygen. In a word, then - a few hundred million years ago - the beaches were the best of Venus in the Solar System.
If anyone enjoyed the Venus- resorts, it has long disappeared in the local acid. But the data obtained with the probe Venus Express, located for several years in orbit of our neighbor, it is quite admit that the conditions of storms on the planet once had an even more favorable for life than Earth.
Alas, the ocean on Venus seem to be evaporated. And now the planet's surface - is it a dried-up bed, over which rise the three mainland.
In the atmosphere of the second planet from the Sun Venus Express has found traces of everything else, ... This is also on Earth. In a certain proportion of normal water. Knowing it, experts have identified: the ...
What ruined the best resort in the solar system? .
- When can we explain what is happening on Venus, we can better understand our planet, and - sure Takeshi Imamura of the Japanese space agency JAXA.
Another miracle podurnevshey Sisters of the Earth: the double hurricanes. God forbid that we live up to such.
University of Washington professor Peter Ward scares: the earth does have a deadly mechanism that can turn it into Venus. Moreover, our planet over the past 500 million years at least five times this was on the ... Life then virtually ceased to exist. Only the so-called great extinction that occurred 251 million years ago, destroyed more than 90 percent of all inmates in the ocean and more than 70 percent of the land. including plants.
- Mass mortality of organisms took place against the backdrop of global warming - explains Ward. - Excessively growing concentration of greenhouse gases - especially carbon dioxide. And quickly dropped the oxygen content - both in the atmosphere and the ocean.
The sharp rise in temperature - more than 10 degrees - interfered with the ocean to absorb oxygen. And create favorable conditions for the reproduction of anaerobic bacteria - those that do not need oxygen. They did work a lot of toxic hydrogen sulfide. Who Morillo inhabitants of the seas and land, giving rise to acid.
Today, carbon dioxide concentration is three times lower than in periods of mass extinctions of living beings. But it is growing. What humanity is actively promoting. And if the ...
We are really at risk of becoming victims of the sixth mass extinction.
And if you believe the report prepared by Carl Gustaf Lundin - director of international programs for the protection of marine resources - a process already underway. According to the researcher, the acidity of sea water has long reached the limit. And it is projected to marine life will die en masse in 2050. And half the area of mangroves have been lost. And all because of global warming.
- The restoration of the natural balance needed at least 10,000 ...
- It is possible that mankind has already passed the ... And due to our pollution of the biosphere is such that inevitably leads to our death - fears a famous environmentalist Professor Alexei Yablokov.
Fortunately, the mechanism works in the world, not only the destruction of life, but its revival - we do exist after all the trouble. The mechanism - until a mysterious. But it was he, it seems, and rescues - and somewhere to cool the planet ... As a result, the Earth is not sinking into the abyss, in which her sister had once vanished. Although a good chance. The total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases on Venus and the Earth about the same. Only here they are still connected to the water and sediment.
According to one hypothesis, the death of Venus have pushed more and volcanoes. But on Earth, as recently revealed, they are able to play a prank is not less.
For example, Mount St. Helens in Washington state ( active volcano ), threatens to break the monstrous eruption. And grow to huge sizes. As for Venus. Such a conclusion was Graham Hill of the New Zealand Institute of Nuclear Research of the earth and. Probed St. Helena, the researcher found: there are a large cavity of molten rock, which extend for tens of kilometers. If they suddenly will work at once, there will be a monstrous crater with a diameter of several kilometers. And break out the eruption of unprecedented power.
An amazing surprise of global warming has found a group of researchers under the leadership of the Finnish Maija Repo, University of Kuopio: from the swampy areas of the Russian Arctic oozes nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. Strong of its sources - peat circles. Each of the square meter emits at 1.2 grams per season.
The areas with ... For example, in the Komi Republic. And further along the coast of the Arctic Ocean. In other words, the expected arrival of millions of tons of laughing gas.
Scientists believe that bacteria are actively gazovat started that process nitrates - nitrogen compounds are not assimilated by plants. If the case goes well beyond, and it will - the permafrost melts, turns into a swamp - that would be fun to live not only in Russia. Wind spread the joy of the gas planet.
But does not the world's laughter scares researchers. The main danger they see in the fact that nitrous oxide - is also a greenhouse gas. And he makes a powerful contribution to global warming. Persists in the atmosphere over 110 years. That is 10 times longer than methane - another greenhouse gas that oozes from the tundra.
