According to the South China Morning Post newspaper, experts from the National Climate Center in Beijing expressed concern about the acceleration of global climate change, which could negatively affect traditional agricultural areas. As an example, experts cited the disappearance of the Amazon rainforest, the disruption of currents in the Atlantic Ocean and the melting of the polar ice caps.
According to scientists, such a climatic situation could destabilize global agricultural production over the coming decades. However, the consequences can be offset by starting to practice highland farming in Tibet. This is a unique natural area, the development of which is capable of turning the Tibetan Plateau into the future breadbasket of China.
The likely climate change will have a profound and extensive impact on the Earth and its inhabitants, from unprecedented sea level rise to extreme weather events that will make a number of regions uninhabitable, according to scientists at the National Climate Center. That is why it is so important to use the Tibetan Plateau to protect the ecological security of China and Asia, as well as preserve biodiversity.
