Ekuqaleni, singacinga ukuba ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo akuqwalaselwa lutshintsho lwemozulu kwiplanethi eyamkelekileyo, kodwa ngokophando olupapashwe kwiphephancwadi lezenzululwazi 'iGeology' ityhila oko ukunyibilika komkhenkce kuphembelela umsebenzi weentaba-mlilo.
Kodwa, Njani? Ukwenza eso sigqibo sinomdla njengodrama yavavanya uthuthu lwentaba-mlilo eIcelandEgcinwe kwiidipozithi ze-peat kunye neelwandle. Ke, babenakho ukufumanisa ixesha lomsebenzi wentaba-mlilo phakathi kweminyaka engama-4500 ukuya kuma-5500 eyadlulayo.
Ngelo xesha, kwabakho ukwehla okukhulu kubushushu, obangela ukuba ii-glaciers zikhule ngokukhawuleza. Le nto inokuthi "iqinisekise" iintaba-mlilo. Nangona kunjalo, Njengokuba iplanethi ishushu kwakhona, inani leentaba-mlilo zanda.
»Xa umkhenkce uyehla, uxinzelelo kumphezulu womhlaba luyancitshiswa. Oku kungonyusa ukunyibilika kwengubo, kwaye kuchaphazele ukuhamba kunye nobungakanani bemagma enokuxhaswa yi-crust, utshilo uNjingalwazi u-Ivan Savov ovela kwiYunivesithi yaseLeeds, ongomnye wababhali besifundo.
Eyona nto imangalisayo kukuba Nokuba utshintsho oluncinci kuxinzelelo lomphezulu lunokutshintsha amathuba okuqhushumba kwentaba-mlilo egqunywe ngumkhenkce. Esinye isizathu sokuthatha nawaphi na amanyathelo ayimfuneko ukukhusela iqondo lobushushu lehlabathi ukuba lingakhuphuki ngaphezulu kwe-2 degrees celsius ngasekupheleni kwenkulungwane.
Ukuba akukho nto siyenzayo, i-thaw ayisayi kusishiya kuphela ngaphandle kwamathambeka amnandi e-ski, okwangoku, esinokonwabela ubusika bonke, kodwa ukongeza ekubeni kufuneka siqhelane nokuhlala nembalela enkulu kunye nezikhukula, kuyakufuneka senze okufanayo nokuqhuma i-volcanic, into enokuba nzima ngakumbi.
Ukufunda isifundo esipheleleyo, unokwenza cofa apha.
