Nature eloquently warns of impending disasters that could cause trouble around the world

Large-scale floods, forest fires, earthquakes and heat waves are no longer a disaster movie, but our reality. Mother Nature eloquently hints at the coming "surprises." If her unwise children do not take action, the natural disasters of 2024 and beyond will turn into a terrible dream of humanity. Let’s talk about what catastrophes can shake the Earth in the near future.



Natural Cataclysms 2024 It looks like Hollywood has jinxed. North America and parts of Canada could be severely affected by natural disasters in the coming years. Countries are threatened by 30-meter tsunamis and strong earthquakes of magnitude up to 9 points. According to scientists, the result of the cataclysm will be large-scale destruction. More than 10,000 people will lose their lives and homes. Due to the spill of chemicals and soil pollution, even more residents of the regions may die.

The dangerous point is located on the Pacific coast of the States. There at great depth lies a line of 1300-kilometer fault of lithospheric plates, the so-called Cascadia zone. Leaning on each other, the plates will create tremendous pressure. This will eventually lead to a tsunami.



Seismic activity in the fault zone will be so large that huge waves will change the entire region beyond recognition. The most unsafe site is along the northern coast of Oregon to southern British Columbia and Seattle. You might have heard about this fault zone in 2011. Then it caused a devastating tsunami in Japan, claiming more than 20,000 lives.

Earthquakes in the Cascadia zone occur every 500 years. The last time they rocked the region was in 1700. The long “sleep” of Cascadia every year more and more worried scientists. In other similar zones, minor plate movement occurs almost daily. The American woman has not shown any signs of tension for years. Experts believe that this indicates an increase in pressure in rocks. So there is something really spectacular and dangerous ahead of us.



All the terrible hurricanes, droughts and floods in the Pacific have two naughty authors - "boy" and "girl."

In global terms, the weather is affected by the climatic phenomenon of La Niña (translated from Spanish - "baby"). It cools central and eastern Pacific waters. The “Girl” amplifies easterly winds, which drive warm waters from the coast of Latin America to Indonesia and the Australian continent.

La Niña alternates with El Niño ("baby"), the opposite phenomenon that heats water and air masses off the coast of South America.

The man nobly angered these guys, uncontrollably polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. This led to an increase in the amplitude and frequency of "boy" and "girl." Previously, they appeared once every 20 years, but now they will excite the planet 2 times more often. And this cycle is unlikely to ever slow down. The natural disasters of 2024 are largely the fault of our civilization.

What does all this mean for the future of humanity?

Natural disasters 2024: the heat will not go away Every year it will get hotter. Global temperatures could rise by 3.9°C by 2100. Everyone gets it. Many scholars see the future as a time of mass starvation, migration, and civil conflict.

The trigger will be forest fires, abnormal heat, storms and floods. 2023 has already become the hottest on the planet in the history of observations. So, drought covered the west of Canada and the United States, drying up all reservoirs with fresh water.



La Niña weather cycles add their huge spoonful of tar to the issue of pricing. It is not only about the costs of loss of crops and property that insurance companies have to cover. These developments create a precondition for higher food prices, rising inflation and electricity prices. The damage from the last La Niña, which lasted from 2021 to 2023, reached $ 1 trillion.

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the European Union planned to reduce the consumption of oil, coal and gas by 2 times until 2030 compared to the level of 1990. In another 20 years, green energy would completely compensate for combustible minerals.



But the full-scale war that Russia unleashed against Ukraine has made its own adjustments. The EU countries imposed a number of sanctions on the aggressor country, significantly reducing imports of Russian gas. To compensate for the lack of capacity, the EU had to resort to coal and fuel oil again.

Evaporation of harmful substances threatens not only the growth of average temperatures around the planet. La Niña and El Niño can get even more intense. This threatens more powerful rains and floods, forest fires and severe droughts. The permafrost will turn into water. Due to rising sea levels, coastal zones can go under water.



Humanity will have to work hard to eliminate the consequences of its “labor”. It would be better to prevent even greater disasters. Will we be able to save our home for our descendants? We can only rely on human wisdom and kindness.
