Numerous prophets scared humanity with the end of the world in 2012. And although it did not take place, perhaps the whole matter is not in a specific date and not in the calendar of the ancient Indians, but in those processes that regularly take place on Earth. Seismologists, ecologists, futurologists and eschatologists have been talking a lot about this recently.
No one can say for sure when the global changes on the planet that the followers of the doomsday version have been waiting for will take place. This can happen in a year, in a hundred years, or in a week. But many researchers of the problem agree that if something happens to the planet, it will happen in the 21st century.
Climatic changes are gaining momentum every year. Information about previously unprecedented weather records is already becoming impossible to hide. Sensational reports of abnormal heat in the northern regions, snowfalls in the southern regions, and strange atmospheric phenomena are regularly leaked to the media. However, due to the enormous amount of political and social information, these notes go unnoticed. But people keep statistics on all these natural phenomena, and, alas, it is disappointing.
Recently, the number of temperature records in individual regions has risen sharply, ecologists are sounding the alarm, the whole world is talking about the threat of global warming. The whole danger is that with sharp global warming there is a threat of the rapid melting of ice caps at the poles of the Earth. A huge amount of frozen fresh water floats irrevocably into the oceans and slowly melts there. Consequently, the level of the world's oceans is constantly rising, which leads to flooding of coastal territories.
Already now, for some regions of the Earth, the flood is not an ephemeral future, but a harsh reality. Some island states in the Pacific, such as Tuvalu, Nauru and Kiribati, will soon cease to exist. The population is struggling with the imminent onset of water, but what can people do against nature.
Almost all coastal territories of islands and continents will be at risk of flooding. According to some forecasts, in the next few decades, Japan, Great Britain, Cuba, Madagascar, Greenland can go under water, most of the Australian continent will be flooded. It is possible that the flooding will not be gradual, but sharp. Environmentalists believe that when the melting of the glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica reaches a critical point, the second global flood will become only a matter of time. Global changes will begin in the entire face of the Earth, all lithospheric plates will begin to move, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and chaos everywhere.
The waters of the new flood will be washed away by most European countries - France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, and Finland will suffer most. There will be practically nothing left of these countries, and the remaining population will be forced to seek refuge in other countries. Small islands will be Norway and Sweden.
Indonesia, the Philippines and New Zealand will be wiped off the face of the Earth. These catastrophic changes will affect everyone, all continents will undergo destruction and flooding. It is difficult to predict which regions will suffer the most, which cities will remain, where civilization will revive, where it will be safe on Earth. But most often called three "points": Siberia, Tibet and Central Africa.
The second flood will affect Russia the least. The northern and eastern shores will take the greatest blow, and the Scandinavian peninsula will cover the Russian territories from the west. We can say for sure that Murmansk and St. Petersburg, Moscow, Arkhangelsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Magadan and some other cities will go under water. But some of the most pessimistic-minded researchers believe that almost the entire European part of Russia will go under water.
