不能不知道A ID:bnbzda北极“僵尸野火”死灰复燃，随时爆发的核泄漏...2020年的下半年有可能更加糟糕。
来源：留学生吐槽君
话说，
对于很多人来说，2020年真的是多灾多难的一年，全球新冠疫情的爆发让所有人的生活全被打乱，
酷暑下依然不敢脱下口罩、失业率不停飙升、暂时停业的店铺最终还是永久关门了。
再跟你们说一个更恐怖的事吧：2020年已经过去了一半....
正当人们还没来得及感慨2020年上半年的一波三折，2020下半年似乎已给了我们回应：
2020年的下半年有可能更加糟糕。
你，准备好了吗？
北极圈“僵尸大火”复燃，熊熊烈火烧起来了！
前些时间，北极圈内的西伯利亚地区就被报道，仅仅6月份部分地区气温就飙升到了38℃，
北极地区38℃？北极熊生活的地方已经热成这个样子了？简直不可思议。
而这样异常的高温，正说明全球暖化已在逐年升级，甚至带来的影响已经超出我们的想象。
更让人们震惊的是，今年北极圈内的野火已经提前烧了起来。
在北极圈的北部和南部，熊熊大火正在肆意地燃烧着。
其实在过去的两年中，北极圈内发生的西伯利亚热浪和野火都已变得司空见惯。
在2018年和2019年，北极野火已经烧毁了数百万公顷的冻原森林。
据俄罗斯绿色和平组织称，单单是去年八月，西伯利亚就有超过400万公顷的森林着火。
绿色和平组织项目部主任弗拉基米尔·楚普罗夫（Vladimir Chuprov）说，今年大火已经比往年更早地开始。
根据往年数据以及卫星图数据显示，大多专家认为，目前的许多野火，其实是去年休眠在北极圈地下的“僵尸大火”。
在2019年6月和7月内，北极圈共发生了超过100场猛烈的野火。
“僵尸大火”其实是指这些野火并没有完全熄灭，它们的火种在地下燃烧着，直到干燥天气到来后就会重新燃烧起来。
专家表示，这些“僵尸大火”可能是从去年一直烧到现在，一直在等待时机，如今又再度复燃，卷土重来。
不过最令人担忧的，不仅仅是北极圈的野火复燃，而是火势不断增强的野火会破坏北极的泥炭地。
泥炭地相当于一个大碳球，全球湿地碳储量绝大多数存储在泥炭地里，而90%的泥炭地又分布在北半球温带及寒冷地区，
所以说，北极地区的泥炭地里储存的碳比世界上所有雨林的碳储量加起来还要多。
一旦北极的泥炭地燃烧起来，那么从中大量释放到大气中的二氧化碳，
将会使人类这么多年来所有控制碳排放的努力，付之东流。
去年，仅仅是烧了6周的北极圈大火，向大气中释放的二氧化碳量就已经超过了瑞典整个国家的碳排放量。
加拿大生物学家Merritt Turetsky表示，“北极就好像世界的一个巨大冰箱，这里存储着来自大部分的碳。”
所以一旦这个大冰箱被破坏，那么释放出来的将是人类不堪设想的噩梦。
去年那场发生在澳洲的森林大火还历历在目，
在这场大火中，超过1170万公顷森林被烧毁，超过12.5亿动物死亡，3000多间房屋化为乌有....
但随着一场强降雨到来，烧了5个月的大火终于消停下来。
然而发生在北极的“僵尸火”，却没那么简单。
它不像森林明火有每小时10公里的蔓延速度，它主要特点就是无焰闷烧，速度缓慢，
但是就是这样闷声下慢慢燃烧，在人们根本无法迅速觉察情况下，它们就已经散布四周。
而这时你根本没法派出一架灭火飞机，装满水或者灭火剂就能扑灭火灾，这些灭火方式只能应对大规模的明火火灾，对付这种“僵尸火”根本无效。
更绝望的是，就算降雨也可能无补于事。
除了是大量的强降雨，否则只是普通降雨的话，根本没用，甚至往往伴随着闪电而引爆了泥炭地中的甲烷，使情况变得更加糟糕。
也就是说，如果这场大火真的烧了起来，人类根本没法扑救，只能眼睁睁看着。
永冻土融化，引发北冰洋石油泄漏大危机
由于北极圈温度逐年上升，位于西伯利亚地区的永冻土也正以极快的速度融化，
这些冻结了几百年甚至上千年的土地解冻，也让建设在冻土上的建筑开始逐一崩塌。
令人震惊的后果是，由于永久冻土融化，在俄罗斯在克拉斯诺亚尔斯克州诺里尔斯克附近的几处燃料储存库破裂并塌陷，
而储存在里面的21000吨石油，通通流进了附近的安巴纳亚河。
这条流向北冰洋的河流，像被鲜血染红了一样，场面十分可怕。
但是恐怖还在继续蔓延，这些即将流进北冰洋的石油会造成北极地区极大的污染，
有人担心污染会扩散到大北极国家自然保护区，这是俄罗斯和欧亚大陆最大的自然保护区，一旦污染发生，将会损害生活在这里动植物。
而专家预测这样严重的石油泄漏，清理成本可能将达到11.6亿英镑（约为人民币100亿元）。
俄罗斯总统普京已下令官员要紧急应对这场灾难，但是如何清理也将是个问题。
而最终清理与否，受难的依然是生存在北冰洋的动物，
有可能北冰洋的鱼类因为石油污染而被大量毒死，漂浮在水中。
而北极熊因为水资源被严重污染，不得不步行千里寻找干净水资源以及无毒的食物...
印度洪水463万人受灾，国内湖北也遭殃，真的太不容易了
由于过去数月来的疫情影响，印度民众的生活已经苦不堪言，但是疫情还没休止，另一场灾难又降临了。
从5月份开始的季节降雨已经造成了印度境内多地发生严重的水灾，而如今洪水还在继续肆意蔓延。
至今已经夺走了数十条生命，超过463万人受灾。
在阿萨姆邦的洪水形势在周六进一步恶化，21个地区共1289个村庄全被淹，人们都要紧急撤离，集中来到救济营地避灾。
当局已经在6个地区建立了142个救济营，超过18000人在那里集中避难。
与此同时，人们也担忧水灾将会使新冠疫情进一步升级。
不仅印度遭遇洪水袭击，我们国内湖北也因为连日来的强降雨而出现严重水灾。
6月27日，湖北宜昌、襄阳、荆州等地拉响暴雨红色警报，宜昌就遭遇了20年一遇的大暴雨，
积水倒灌地下车库，其他停在路边的汽车也被淹没到只剩车顶可见，全市陷入停摆。
甚至还有一位女司机因为汽车在被淹没的马路上熄火而被困在车内，交警只好紧急砸窗救人，场面十分惊险。
而当天这条视频也被疯传到各个朋友圈。
目前这场暴雨已经导致湖北超65万人受灾。今年湖北真的太难了，希望一切都能快点好起来吧。
日本核泄漏将再次上演？核电站出现41条裂缝竟然没人管
相信很多人都依然清晰记得，2011年发生在日本福岛的核泄漏事故，当年不但给日本，甚至对全球都造成了极大的恐慌。
核泄漏事件发生之后，东京电力公司为防止燃料棒融化就加入了大量冷却水，因此产生了大量核污染废水。
而这些核污染废水一直都储存在福岛核电厂，如今已经存储了大约100万吨核废水，
但是毕竟核电厂废水储存设施容量有限，据悉到2022年，将达到极限。
而这大量的核废水最终将如何处理，日本政府却一直都没有给出满意的答案。
甚至他们还提出过要么排进大海，要么蒸发掉。然而无论哪种方式，都将对周边国家产生严重影响。
但是目前最让人们着急的并不是核废水如何处理的问题，
而是人们近日发现，福岛核电站中防止反应余渣出现泄漏而设立的保护层竟然出现了41条裂缝。
但是此前核电站却一直将此情况隐瞒，表示：有些裂缝是正常的，并不是多大的问题，不会影响核电站的正常工作。
？？？
日本处于地震地带，经常发生地震或者海啸的灾难，要是在这过程中，这41条裂缝出现了核辐射的泄漏，那么对全球也必然造成巨大的风险。
而保护层之所以出现这些裂缝，是因为当初建立核电站时不符合标准，所以随着时间流逝，这些问题就越发严重。
然而发生过一次严重核泄漏事件的日本，对这些裂缝的态度竟然如此漠不关心，真的够了。
而对于日本的态度，俄罗斯媒体率先发起抨击和指责：难道是要全人类替你买单？
再者，日本是否在这件事上对其他国家还有所隐瞒呢？
已经产生的上百万吨核废水最终又将如何处理？
新冠疫情还在肆虐，越发失控
最后，别忘记还在全球继续蔓延的新冠疫情，目前已经突破了全球确诊1000万的大关。而且完全没有停下来的迹象。
2020年下半年还能更糟糕吗？恩，很有可能！
但是生活还将继续，日子还是要过，
只希望下半年无论发生什么事情，大家都依然好好的...

They had arrived in San Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned, and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweet-humored daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had originally planned to go out with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946, Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that lasted until death parted them more than forty years later. Paul Reinhold Jobs had been raised on a dairy farm in Germantown, Wisconsin. Even though his father was an alcoholic and sometimes abusive, Paul ended up with a gentle and calm disposition under his leathery exterior. After dropping out of high school, he wandered through the Midwest picking up work as a mechanic until, at age nineteen, he joined the Coast Guard, even though he didn’t know how to swim. He was deployed on the USS General M. C. Meigs and spent much of the war ferrying troops to Italy for General Patton. His talent as a machinist and fireman earned him commendations, but he occasionally found himself in minor trouble and never rose above the rank of seaman. Clara was born in New Jersey, where her parents had landed after fleeing the Turks in Armenia, and they moved to the Mission District of San Francisco when she was a child. She had a secret that she rarely mentioned to anyone: She had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life. Like many who lived through the war, they had experienced enough excitement that, when it was over, they desired simply to settle down, raise a family, and lead a less eventful life. They had little money, so they moved to Wisconsin and lived with Paul’s parents for a few years, then headed for Indiana, where he got a job as a machinist for International Harvester. His passion was tinkering with old cars, and he made money in his spare time buying, restoring, and selling them. Eventually he quit his day job to become a full-time used car salesman. Clara, however, loved San Francisco, and in 1952 she convinced her husband to move back there. They got an apartment in the Sunset District facing the Pacific, just south of Golden Gate Park, and he took a job working for a finance company as a “repo man,” picking the locks of cars whose owners hadn’t paid their loans and repossessing them. He also bought, repaired, and sold some of the cars, making a decent enough living in the process. There was, however, something missing in their lives. They wanted children, but Clara had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg was implanted in a fallopian tube rather than the uterus, and she had been unable to have any. So by 1955, after nine years of marriage, they were looking to adopt a child. Like Paul Jobs, Joanne Schieble was from a rural Wisconsin family of German heritage. Her father, Arthur Schieble, had immigrated to the outskirts of Green Bay, where he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses, including real estate and photoengraving. He was very strict, especially regarding his daughter’s relationships, and he had strongly disapproved of her first love, an artist who was not a Catholic. Thus it was no surprise that he threatened to cut Joanne off completely when, as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, she fell in love with Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Muslim teaching assistant from Syria. Jandali was the youngest of nine children in a prominent Syrian family. His father owned oil refineries and multiple other businesses, with large holdings in Damascus and Homs, and at one point pretty much controlled the price of wheat in the region. His mother, he later said, was a “traditional Muslim woman” who was a “conservative, obedient housewife.” Like the Schieble family, the Jandalis put a premium on education. Abdulfattah was sent to a Jesuit boarding school, even though he was Muslim, and he got an undergraduate degree at the American University in Beirut before entering the University of Wisconsin to pursue a doctoral degree in political science. In the summer of 1954, Joanne went with Abdulfattah to Syria. They spent two months in Homs, where she learned from his family to cook Syrian dishes. When they returned to Wisconsin she discovered that she was pregnant. They were both twenty-three, but they decided not to get married. Her father was dying at the time, and he had threatened to disown her if she wed Abdulfattah. Nor was abortion an easy option in a small Catholic community. So in early 1955, Joanne traveled to San Francisco, where she was taken into the care of a kindly doctor who sheltered unwed mothers, delivered their babies, and quietly arranged closed adoptions. Joanne had one requirement: Her child must be adopted by college graduates. So the doctor arranged for the baby to be placed with a lawyer and his wife. But when a boy was born—on February 24, 1955—the designated couple decided that they wanted a girl and backed out. Thus it was that the boy became the son not of a lawyer but of a high school dropout with a passion for mechanics and his salt-of-the-earth wife who was working as a bookkeeper. Paul and Clara named their new baby Steven Paul Jobs. When Joanne found out that her baby had been placed with a couple who had not even graduated from high school, she refused to sign the adoption papers. The standoff lasted weeks, even after the baby had settled into the Jobs household. Eventually Joanne relented, with the stipulation that the couple promise—indeed sign a pledge—to fund a savings account to pay for the boy’s college education. There was another reason that Joanne was balky about signing the adoption papers. Her father was about to die, and she planned to marry Jandali soon after. She held out hope, she would later来源：小兵说天下
