Catastrophe, doom, or mass destruction – When the whole species disappears from the earth at once, we begin to understand it with the first destruction. The first holocaust occurred about 443 million years ago. It was called End-Ordovician. During this time all the water on the earth started turning into ice. Creatures started dying from the cold in the sea and beyond. During this, about 86 species got extinct. Those who remained had adapted themselves according to the new climate. This has been explained in detail in the Current Biology Journal of the year 2017.

The second holocaust came about 359 to 380 million years ago. Even scientists do not have a definite idea. It was called End Devonian. Due to the sudden activation of volcanoes on the earth, the oxygen level started decreasing, and the species started ending. It was so terrible that more than 75 percent of the species present then got extinct. During this, many fishes and corals ended. Interestingly, species with small height and weight such as tetrapods survived. From here the division of amphibians, reptiles and mammals started.

Now let’s talk about the third holocaust, which is called End Permian. The volcanoes of Siberia were responsible for this mass destruction that took place about 251 million years ago. They started exploding. Poison and acid started spreading in the sea and air. Even the ozone layer was also destroyed. Due to this dangerous UV rays came out. In the meantime, due to the radiation that came out, the forest after forest was destroyed by burning. This period is also called the charcoal gap. Then, apart from the fungus, most of the species got extinct.

About 210 million years ago, there was an orgy on the earth for the fourth time, which was called the End Triassic period. This time also volcanoes erupted, but not in Siberia, but in other places of the earth. Even in this destruction, about 80 species present then were destroyed. What remained were the ancestors of dinosaurs and crocodiles, which were named Crocodylomorphs.

Dinosaurs did not disappear alone, 76 more species ended with them. Representational photo (Pixabay)
The last and fifth mass extinction is called End Cretaceous. This is the time when dinosaurs disappeared from the earth. There has been a long-standing debate on the theory of this holocaust that came about 65.5 million years ago, what was the reason for it. During this time, an asteroid collided with the earth, everyone believes this, but did the oxygen run out due to its collision? Did strong species like dinosaurs end because of that?

In the midst of debate on the reasons, it was also accepted by everyone that the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased and the oxygen level went down completely. During this, 76 species died.

Now it is the turn of the sixth destruction, which scientists have started talking about. How will this happen? Why and when? In the early nineties, the famous paleontologist Richard Leakey warned that humans would be responsible for the sixth extinction. Remind here that all the five previous disasters were natural. Not because of any animal. But this time the danger is more because human activity is reducing oxygen on the earth.

The poison is already being felt in the air. Representational photo (Pixabay)
It has already started. In fact, even without the holocaust, many species continue to disappear from the earth. This is called background rate. Fossil Records often talks about this. This is a normal thing, but due to humans, the speed of extinction of species on the earth has increased almost 100 times. That is, because of us, the destruction of living beings is taking place at 100 times the speed.

In the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a group of scientists is continuously giving studies in this regard. By the way, tell that the sixth mass destruction is being called Holocene or Anthropocene extinction. It is feared that not only bacteria, fungi and trees and plants, humans, reptiles, birds, fishes will all be destroyed. And the reason for this will be climate change.

The fire in the forests from Australia to India is the advanced stage of global warming. Representational photo (Pixabay)
The speed with which the earth is warming and the ice of the oceans is melting, scientists are comparing it with the sudden eruption of volcanoes. Due to this, the water will become so hot that the level of oxygen in it will start decreasing. As a result, sea creatures will start dying. It will start with water, then its effect will reach in the air and gradually many species will end together. Including you and me.

This claim is not just a whim, but it has started because of the background rate being 100 times. There is talk of heat and poisonous air in the atmosphere. Due to rising temperature, forests are catching fire in many countries continuously. In the summer of last year, the cold European countries also woke up from the heat. Even the office had to be closed. The soil was not that fertile.

Many countries of the world are seeing unseasonal storms, sometimes drought and sometimes earthquakes. The worst thing on this is that instead of being careful, the forests are being cut. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, about 24 million acres of forests are being cut every year since 2015.

Till now it is not known when the next holocaust will come, but many scientists are making different claims. In Science Advances, the Planetary Sciences Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said on the basis of its research that this would happen around the year 2100. Along with this, it is also believed that according to which the earth is getting hot, the destruction can come even before this.

World News: When Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave friendly advice to the President of Russia in Samarkand, saying that today is not the era of war, his line became a benchmark in international diplomacy. PM Modi had advised Putin in September that and emphasized that the Russia-Ukraine war should be resolved only through dialogue and diplomacy. Today is not the time for war.

From September to November i.e. for the next 60 days, the echo of this appeal of PM Modi was heard all over the world. America had said that it welcomes this statement of the Prime Minister of India and the war should end through dialogue.

Now that PM Narendra Modi has once again reached Bali, Indonesia to attend the G-20 conference, it is being discussed in diplomatic circles whether India will be able to become a peacemaker at the negotiating table for reconciliation between Ukraine and Russia. ready to?

India among the countries most affected by the Ukraine war

Modi’s plane has landed in Bali. PM is once again among the leaders of the world whom the war is affecting the most.

Will have to find a way to reach the ceasefire – Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again appealed to stop the Ukraine-Russia war in his first address as soon as he reached Bali. He said that a way has to be found to reach a ceasefire and start a diplomatic initiative. PM Modi said that the Second World War has caused havoc in the last century. Then the leaders of that time made serious efforts to establish peace and now it is our turn.

PM Modi is meeting the heads of states of America, Britain, France, Singapore, Australia, Germany and Spain in this conference. PM Modi’s meeting with Chinese President Jinping has not been decided yet. During this, the issue of Russia-Ukraine war is expected to come to the fore. Although Putin himself is not reaching this conference, Putin has sent Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to this conference.

Is India’s diplomatic offer strong enough?

The question is that if India gets a proposal to make a peace agreement between these two countries, is there enough power in India’s diplomatic offer that Russia and Ukraine should consider its offer.

In fact, in Samarkand, when PM Modi told President Putin face to face that this is not the era of war, India’s image in front of the world was made as a country which, despite being a friend of Russia, could call Putin on his face. . This showed the seriousness of India.

Please tell that India gave this message to Putin to end the war when India is buying millions of barrels of crude oil from Russia at cheap prices. In this way, India showed such a foreign policy which was appreciated all over the world even while taking the risk of getting angry with a friend like Russia. With this step of India, the neutrality of India’s foreign policy came to the fore in front of Ukraine as well. Who could remain neutral and present his opinion according to the global scenario.

On this statement of PM Modi, President Putin said that he knows India’s position on Ukraine conflict. And understand the concern of PM Modi. Putin had said that he wanted this crisis to end as soon as possible.

‘The talk of mediation is premature’

On November 10, when External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar was asked a question in this regard, he said that it would be premature to say that India is playing the role of a mediator to establish peace between Ukraine and Russia. However, he did not completely dismiss such discussions. S Jaishankar said that we cannot approach today’s problems with models or experiences. This is a very different situation.

Ukraine war: World must act now to stop Russia nuclear threat – Zelensky

Watch: Zelensky warns Russians are being prepared for nuclear warfare

https://republicaeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Zelensky.mp3

In an interview with the BBC, President Zelensky denied having urged strikes on Russia, claiming that an earlier remark had been mistranslated.

“You must use preventive kicks,” he said, referring to sanctions, “not attacks”.

In recent weeks, the Ukrainian army has recaptured large swathes of territory in a successful counter-offensive that has forced Russian troops to abandon long-held positions. In what Kyiv describes as Moscow’s response to its defeats, President Vladimir Putin has incorporated four partially occupied regions of Ukraine.

The annexations, widely dismissed as illegal, have raised fears of a possible escalation in the seven-month war. President Putin and other senior Russian officials have suggested that nuclear weapons – possibly smaller, tactical weapons – could be used to defend those areas, although Western officials say there has been no evidence Moscow is prepared to do so.

Speaking in English at the president’s office in Kyiv, President Zelensky said: “They begin to prepare their society. That’s very dangerous.

“They are not ready to do it, to use it. But they begin to communicate. They don’t know whether they’ll use or not use it. I think it’s dangerous to even speak about it.”

Then, in Ukrainian, he said through a translator: “What we see is that Russia’s people in power like life and thus I think the risk of using nuclear weapons is not that definite as some experts say, because they understand that there is no turning back after using it, not only the history of their country, but themselves as personalities.”

However, he denied having called for strikes on Russia during an online event on Thursday, saying the Ukrainian word he had used had been misunderstood.

The initial comment was denounced by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as “an appeal to start yet another world war”, while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it demonstrated why Russia was right to launch its operation in Ukraine.

“After that translation,” President Zelensky said, “they [the Russians] did their way, how it’s useful for them, and began to retranslate it in other directions.”

The interview happened hours after US President Joe Biden said that the Russian threat to use nuclear weapons had brought the world closer to “Armageddon” than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis during the Cold War.

President Zelensky said action was needed now, as Russia’s threats were a “risk for the whole planet”. Moscow, he claimed, had “made a step already” by occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest nuclear station which President Putin is trying to turn into Russian property.

Around 500 Russian troops were at the plant, he said, although the Ukrainian staff still operate it.

“The world can stop urgently the actions of Russian occupiers,” President Zelensky said. “The world can implement the sanction package in such cases and do everything to make them leave the nuclear power plant.”

Empowered by sophisticated Western-supplied weapons, the Ukrainian army has made significant advances in the east and the south, reclaiming towns and villages even in areas the Kremlin claims are now part of Russia.

President Zelensky said Russian forces were putting up a “good enough fight”, but that Ukraine had received weapons – “I won’t say we have enough now” – and soldiers were motivated to push forward.

The Russian military’s setbacks, a major embarrassment for President Putin, have sparked unusual criticism of the country’s military.

Amid the losses, President Putin announced the mobilisation of hundreds of thousands of reservists, which led to rare anti-war protests in Russia and to a huge exodus of military-age men.

President Zelensky urged Russians to “fight for your body, rights and soul”, saying: “Those mobilised kids now, they come with nothing. Without guns or armour. They are being thrown here like cannon fodder… If they want to be kebabs – fine, let them come. But if they are people after all and think that this is their lives, they have to fight.

“Everything Putin is afraid of, and it’s not the nuclear hit, he is afraid of his community,” he said. He’s afraid of his people. Because only those people are capable of replacing him nowadays. Take away his power. Give it to someone else.”

Asked whether President Putin could survive in an eventual Ukrainian win in the war, he said: “I don’t care.”
