Global warming is causing permafrost to melt and ancient bacteria are resurrecting, what should huma

Some horror viruses, which we think have been completely eradicated, still exist in the world waiting to wake up. Smallpox is a malignant infectious disease that has caused countless tragedies in human history. It has been called "the greatest genocide in human history".

Since 1967, the world's last large-scale smallpox operation with vaccinia vaccine has been carried out, with the last patient in Somalia, Africa, in 1977. On October 26, 1979, the World Health Organization declared the smallpox virus eradicated worldwide. The last existing smallpox virus samples were retained for study at two research centers in the United States and Russia.

In the 90s of the last century, a large-scale smallpox epidemic broke out in Siberia. At that time, people buried the bodies of the dead in the river. The permafrost in the Siberian tundra is like a cold storage in a university laboratory.

Now, climate warming has begun to melt permafrost.

There are already some terrible bacteria that are starting to quietly wake up and threaten humanity. In August 2016, an ancient pathogen showed its clues in the vast Siberian tundra. A 12-year-old boy living on the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic Circle of the tundra died of anthrax infection, and at least 20 locals were hospitalized**.

How could a pure arctic suddenly appear anthrax, which is easily infected by herbivores? Moreover, the morphology of this pathogen is very different from that of modern anthrax. This event was the focus of attention of scientists at the time.

After investigating the outbreak, we found out the truth. The reason is very surprising. The carcass of a reindeer that died of anthrax in 1941 was buried deep in the permafrost, and it was thought it would be frozen permanently.

But with the advent of summer heat waves in a warming climate, permafrost ceased to exist in the literal sense of "permanent" and began to melt. The exposed carcass of caribou resurrected anthrax and released it into nearby water and soil. More than 2,000 reindeer died as a result of pathogens invading nearby reindeer.

There are about 300,000 reindeer on the Yamal Peninsula where the outbreak occurred. At that time, Russia** was even ready to kill five-sixths of the reindeer on the peninsula to ensure that the epidemic was under control. As the food chain flowed, people at the top of the food chain were not immune, and nearly 100 people received it**.

Global warming is causing permafrost to melt and ancient bacteria are resurrecting, what should humans do?

I think humans are adapting to this temperature at a slow pace, and there is nothing they can do but try to change the current situation.

Human beings can't help it, but they can use high technology to extend the living environment of human beings.

I think humanity may be trying to figure out how to deal with these situations, and it will definitely be solved.

I think we should clean up this kind of problem quickly, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

After millions of years of evolution, human beings have mastered a large number of technologies. While we've developed ourselves with these technologies, they've also created a lot of problems. Although human beings have always believed that they are the masters of the earth, we can also see from what human beings have done to create disasters on the earth.

Due to the industrial activities of human beings, there are excessive emissions of greenhouse gases. Although this has improved our living standards a lot, it has also led to global warming and rising temperatures. The ice in the Antarctic and Arctic is melting at an accelerated rate, and the permafrost in Siberia is also beginning to melt.

Scientists have discovered a new big virus after the permafrost has melted, and humanity should wake up. What's going on here?

The permafrost on Earth has existed for tens of thousands of years, and if for some reason it is destroyed, then disaster on Earth may follow. The Earth's North and South Poles may seem cold, and it is also contributing to the Earth's ecology, but once this balance is broken, disaster will also occur.

We know that permafrost is tens of thousands of years old, and it contains a large number of organisms and viruses. Once the permafrost melts, it releases creatures and viruses that we have never seen before, and this is not good news for humanity, but a disaster. No, when scientists were investigating the thawing of permafrost, they discovered a virus that had never been found before, and this virus is called the Siberian wide-mouth tank virus.

Needless to say, the virus is harmful to human beings, and the new coronavirus, which is currently raging around the world, is a good example. When humans first come into contact with this virus, they do not have special antibodies, so it can easily lead to the spread of the virus. And the melting of the northern permafrost could release more new viruses, which would be a huge disaster for humanity around the world.

Humanity has already suffered too many disasters, and if another natural disaster occurs, it will be devastating. It's time for humanity to wake up, do you feel the same way?

Siberia is located at high latitudes, where the climate is harsh and the soil is frozen all year round, so the permafrost here is also called permafrost. Although it does not provide a good living environment for living things, the permafrost contains resources and secrets that are tens of millions of years old. However, as the global climate warms, the permafrost in Siberia, like the Antarctic glaciers, is gradually melting, and what was once frozen in the permafrost is gradually appearing in the eyes of the world.

According to foreign media reports, Russian scientists have discovered a microscopic organism in the Arctic permafrost in northern Siberia, and it is known through technical tests that the age of the creature is 10,000 years. Scientists slowly thawed it, only to find that they had come back to life. This is not the first time that scientists have resurrected ancient life from permafrost, in 2018, Russian scientists resurrected two "nematodes" that are more than 30,000 years old.

According to a study published in the journal Current Biology, the miniature creature resurrected by Russian experts is called the vermiculus rotifer, named after a ring of rotiform cilia around the mouth. Although it is an animal, it is extremely small, no more than 1 mm in length, and is difficult to see with the naked eye alone. The vermiculated rotifer is small, can only live in fresh water, and is a multicellular microorganism, but it has a brain and intestines.

Researchers have previously found that this creature is extremely vigorous, can live in an anhydrous environment for up to 9 years, and can be frozen at a low temperature of minus 20 for 10 years before being resurrected. This time, Russian scientists have once again proved that vermiculated rotifers can still be resurrected after being frozen in ice for 10,000 years, and can continue to reproduce after awakening. But they reproduce in a peculiar way, without any way germ cells to develop into individuals.

In addition, scientists have also detected the DNA of bacteria and plants in the genes of the vermiculated rotifer, which shows that the leeched rotifer can seize the genes of other organisms and increase the diversity of its own genes. It is precisely for this reason that the life of the vermiculated rotifer has been very good for the past tens of millions of years, and its vitality is extremely tenacious.

This study shows that in a low temperature environment, the metabolism of multicellular organisms is basically stagnant and can survive forever. There is no doubt that this news is exciting, because for the past few decades, mankind has been working on cryogenic freezing technology in an attempt to resurrect terminally ill people in the future, and then carry out **. However, the reality is that if the human body is placed in a low temperature of minus 196, the production of ice crystals is inevitable, and they will destroy the integrity of cells and organs, which is not yet a problem that humans can solve.

Surprisingly, the vermiculated rotifer does not have this problem, and can still survive after tens of thousands of years of ice, and scientists hope to understand the principle so that it can be applied to humans in the future. However, it is worth noting that there are unknown dangers in the permafrost, as prehistoric viruses have been found in the Arctic permafrost and can be revived after thawing. Therefore, if global warming continues and permafrost melts, humanity must be vigilant against these unknown challenges.

Facing death because there are so many viruses in the Arctic that are mothballed, and many of them are beyond our current reach.

I think that when the ancient virus is resurrected, we humans will actively look for ways to solve it and fight against this virus; There is still a long time before the resurrection of this virus for us to prepare, so we can take advantage of this period of time to reduce the situation where we can't do anything.

Because the ancient virus is a great threat to human beings now, human beings will face it positively, and will study ways to deal with it and corresponding vaccines as soon as possible.

At that time, human beings will be infected with various ancient viruses and gradually die, and at that time, human beings will disappear completely.

Human beings will face huge disasters, the original ecological balance will be broken, and the virus will be raging and we need to find new methods, and this process will be very long, so we must protect the environment.

If the permafrost melts, a large number of prehistoric viruses will be released, which will affect the future fate of mankind.

Siberian permafrost is one of the most stable permafrost in the world, originally this piece of ground has survived for millions of years, even tens of millions of years, or even longer, but recently with the development of human civilization, the speed has been increasing, the natural environment has been greatly damaged, and greenhouse gases are also rising, and now the permafrost in Siberia has begun to thaw gradually, and the thawing permafrost makes people have to realize that the ecological environment of the earth has indeed undergone great changesIn the past, every time a creature experienced extinction, it was basically accompanied by climate change.

And every climate change will cause more than 80% of the life on the earth to die directly, so this time the climate change is led by humans, not the earth itself wants to carry out climate change, but will it have the same impact in the end? There are many ancient creatures hidden in the permafrost of Siberia, which have been dead for millions of years, or even longer, and the thawing of these permafrost will not bring these dead animals back to life, but you must know that there are many microorganisms, and its vitality is very tenacious.

At present, there are many primitive microorganisms resurrected, such as some microorganisms 200 million years ago, although these microorganisms do not have much offensive power, but they will definitely cause some harm to human beings, and it is also worth human vigilance, the resurrection of these microorganisms will definitely cause some virus mutations, if it is particularly serious, it will also infect the human body, and the whole world has been tormented by the new crown pneumonia for some time now, and until now human beings have not found the source of the virus, in the end.

There are even some scientists who believe that the new crown virus is very likely to come from prehistoric organisms, and even a Russian researcher deliberately injected the bacteria in the body of the mammoth 3.5 million years ago into his body, hoping that this bacterium can make himself immortal.

At present, as the global temperature continues to rise, the permafrost is slowly thawing, and eventually the global permafrost is very likely to thaw, so will there be many prehistoric organisms infecting the human world? In fact, this is a bit like biochemistry**, although human beings look strong now, but human beings are very vulnerable in the face of some viruses, otherwise why would human beings get cancer? So on the whole, there are many viruses that humans have no way to control them, and no matter what point of view, there is nothing wrong with human beings protecting the environment.

After global warming and the thawing of the permafrost, no ancient life will appear, and most of the ancient life has become fossils, so it is impossible to resurrect it. But bacteria stored in permafrost may appear.

After global warming and the melting of permafrost, the first thing must be the emergence of ancient microlife, such as some microorganisms and bacteria that have been frozen under the ice for many years, especially viruses that have existed for a long time.

There should be some micro-life in ancient times, and the life of microorganisms is very tenacious, although it has no offensive power, but the resurrection of organisms may bring about the mutation of the virus.

The permafrost of Siberia is one of the most stable in the world. Initially, this land has survived for millions of years, even tens of millions of years, or even longer, but recently, with the development of human civilization, the speed has been increasing, the natural environment has been greatly destroyed, and greenhouse gases are rising. So far, the ecological environment of the earth has indeed changed a lot.

In the past, whenever a creature went extinct, it was basically accompanied by climate change.

No. Because these ancient viruses have been dead for many years and are no longer active, they do not infect humans.

Not at the moment. Because most viruses do not correspond to the proteins of human cells, no one knows how viruses will mutate.
