By 2070, extinction-level pandemics, scientists say, could result from climate change

(HRNW) Humans have been forewarned that the planet is nearing a “climate endgame”; by a recent study on climate change.

According to a group of academics from the University of Cambridge; future nuclear war could be precipitated; by the world’s increasing levels of global warming. Not only that, but global warming may also trigger a devastating financial meltdown; or a pandemic that wipes out all life as soon as 2070.

Based on these results, the scientists are suggesting that the government get ready; for terrifying eventualities.

Dr. Luke Kemp, the study’s lead author, warned that climate change; could be disastrous even at low levels of global warming.

According to the team, four areas require urgent attention. The “four horsemen of the climate endgame”; are what they have been dubbed.

Conflict, severe weather, starvation and malnutrition; and vector-borne diseases are the four horsemen.
