Kungani umphakathi usadonsa kanzima ukukholelwa ekuguquguqukeni kwesimo sezulu; Izibalo zakamuva

Bheka eduze kwakho. Kuya ngokusobala ukuthi umhlaba udidekile uma kukhulunywa ngesihloko sokuguquka kwesimo sezulu. Naphezu kwezinhlangano eziningi zesayensi nososayensi abaye bakufakazela njalo ukuba khona kwayo, abaholi abaningi bomhlaba nezakhamuzi basabuphika ubufakazi bayo. Kuye kwenziwa ucwaningo oluhlukahlukene ukuze kutholwe umbono womphakathi ngombono wokuguquka kwesimo sezulu.

Izibalo

Phakathi ku Ucwaningo lwamuva eyenziwa yi-Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, amaphesenti angama-70 abantu baseMelika bakholelwa ukuthi ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke kuyenzeka. Lokhu kuphakeme ngokumangazayo uma kubhekwa imibono kamengameli wabo abamkhethile. Lolu cwaningo luphinde lwaveza ukuthi amaphesenti angama-72 ososayensi baseMelika abathembekile mayelana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Kepha ngamaphesenti angama-49 kuphela abantu ababecabanga ukuthi ososayensi bakholelwa ukuthi ukufudumala kwembulunga kuyenzeka. Nokho, I-NASA ikhiphe ucwaningo okufakazela ukuthi amaphesenti angama-97 ososayensi akholelwa ukuthi kuyenzeka. Lokhu kukhombisa ukuhlukana phakathi komphakathi kanye nokuthembela kwabo kwisayensi.

Kuyamangaza, kuphela Amaphesenti angama-40 abantu baseMelika bakholelwa ukuthi ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke kwakuyobathinta bona ngokwabo, kodwa abangamaphesenti angu-70 babecabanga ukuthi kwakuzothinta izizukulwane ezizayo, abangamaphesenti angu-69 babekholelwa ukuthi kwakuzothinta izitshalo nezilwane, futhi abangamaphesenti angu-63 babekholelwa ukuthi kwakuzothinta Amazwe Omhlaba Wesithathu. Lokhu kukhomba ukuthi abantu bakhetha ukuzihlukanisa nenkinga abakholwa ukuthi iyiqiniso.

Kodwa kungani sizihlukanisa nenkinga edinga ukunakekelwa kwethu ngokushesha? Isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo uSander van der Linden wasePrinceton University kusho ukuthi: “Izingqondo zethu zihlome nge-alamu enezintambo eziqinile zebhayoloji ekhuthaza ukusabela ezinsongweni zemvelo eziseduze. Inkinga iwukuthi ngenxa yokuthi asikwazi ukubona kalula, ukuzwa, noma ukubhekana nengozi yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, lesi simiso sokuxwayisa esithintekayo asicushiwe.”

EC Lokhu ukunyuka ngamaphesenti amahlanu kusukela ocwaningweni lwabo luka-64.

"Eminyakeni emithathu nje kuye kwaba nokuguquguquka okubonakalayo emibonweni yomphakathi ekwamukeleni ukuthi ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kuyenzeka futhi kubangelwa ikakhulukazi izinto ezenziwa abantu," uthi Usihlalo weComRes u-Andrew Hawkins
