Shocking events that prove that the world will not be the same.

For more than a decade, we have been told about the serious and irreversible consequences of climate change. But we don't seem to care much. First of all, because we are trying to solve our daily problems without thinking about more global ones. In addition, we still have a share of doubt that the climate is really changing. In this collection you will find enough examples of how much the environment is changing. Here are just a few very strange events that have occurred on our planet over the past few years.

It snows in the Sahara desert for the second year in a row

---

---

Although we were all fascinated by the beautiful landscape created from the snow lying on top of the sand, this phenomenon is of serious concern. Due to extreme weather conditions, one of the hottest places in the world was suddenly covered with snow.

99.8% of all green turtles became females

---

---

The rise in global temperature is causing a very sharp change in the Great Barrier Reef. Because of the temperature rise, the population of sea turtles becomes female. It is worth noting that the floor of these turtles is determined by the outside temperatures, not chromosomes. Temperature plays an important role in the development of the fetus in the egg, and extreme weather conditions in the area have led to the fact that almost 99% of all green turtles are females.

Because of the high temperatures die bats

---

---

Every summer in Australia recorded very high temperatures, which can reach 47 degrees Celsius. In the summer of 2017, more than 400 bats were found dead due to extremely high temperatures. These animals literally fell from the sky. Flying foxes – one of the rare species are the most active pollinators and help maintain a healthy ecosystem.

Sharks literally freeze to death

---

---

2017 ended with record low temperatures. The United States has experienced severe frost, and the weather was so severe that sharks were dying due to cold shock-a stressful state of the body, responding to low temperatures. It was also reported that due to very low temperatures, iguanas fell from trees in Florida.

Two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef is damaged

---

---

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living object on Earth. Today, it is endangered by rising water temperatures. Massive coral bleaching and zero restoration have caused great damage to this world heritage site.

Islands disappear

---

---

A recent study has shown that rising water levels in the world's oceans have led to the disappearance of eight major Islands in the Pacific, and many other low-lying Islands are on the verge of extinction. Although you personally, yet, it does not hurt, many people living in South-East Asia, can remain not only without a roof over his head, but without his homeland.

The driest place on Earth is blooming

---

---

Flowers appeared in the Atacama Desert. El Niño - the change in the temperature of the upper water layer in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean has led to the strongest precipitation in the driest non — polar desert in the world-the Atacama desert. Flowers began to bloom here, which was not observed for several decades.

We'll soon forget the chocolate

---

---

Yeah, the chocolate could disappear. Cocoa plants are struggling to survive in extreme temperatures and the chocolate industry is facing huge challenges. Imagine life without chocolate.

Mountain goats and other species have become smaller

---

---

Over the past few decades, goats in the Italian Alps have decreased in size. Because of the warming, they spend less time mining food.

The roads are melted like chocolate

---

---

South-East Australia was melting at high temperatures. Catastrophically high temperatures (about 45 C) did not fall for a long time, which led to the fact that the asphalt on the roads began to literally melt.

Wine production in Europe has reached the lowest level

---

---

Extreme weather conditions, such as frost and drought, damaged vineyards in the leading wine countries such as Italy, Spain, France and Germany.

Radioactivity of the Arctic Ocean has increased

---

---

Due to global warming, the ice cover of the Arctic Ocean began to decrease rapidly, resulting in an increase in the concentration of Radium-228 (radioactive element) in the ocean. This has already led to changes in the Arctic ecosystem.
