The World Meteorological Organization says that the heat wave in Europe will last until 2060.
According to the forecast of the World Meteorological Organization, the heat wave in Europe will last until 2060. Many countries in Europe, including Britain, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Germany, have recently experienced unusually high temperatures, with the highest local temperature reaching 45 degrees Celsius. The World Meteorological Organization says that the heat wave in Europe will last until 2060.
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the heat wave in Europe will last until 2060 local time 19. The World Meteorological Organization and WHO held a joint press conference in Geneva, Switzerland. Talas, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, warned that this kind of heat wave suffocating Europe is becoming more and more frequent, and the negative trend caused by climate change will last at least until 2060. The current heat wave should be a wake-up call for countries that emit more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
"In the future, these heat waves will become the norm, and we will see more intense extreme situations." Agence France-Presse reported that Taras compared this climate to the way athletes use stimulants to improve their performance.
He said: "We inject more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, just like doping the atmosphere. Emissions are still increasing. If this trend cannot be reversed, we are not sure whether the high temperature will peak in the 265438+60 s. " Stefanschi, head of applied climate services at the World Meteorological Organization, said another concern was that these extreme high temperature records appeared at short intervals.
At 19 local time, Britain experienced the highest temperature on record. The picture shows people flocking to Brighton Beach for the summer.
According to the Russian newspaper Izvestia, according to the prediction of the World Meteorological Organization, the hot weather will greatly increase the mortality of the sick and the elderly. In addition to seriously affecting human health, high temperature weather will have a further negative impact on agricultural activities and aggravate the current crop yield reduction caused by Russia and Ukraine. In addition, the global melting trend of glaciers will last for hundreds of years or even longer.
As for the causes of frequent heat waves, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that most climate scientists believe that the answer is climate change. The British Meteorological Office estimates that due to climate change, the extreme high temperature that human beings are experiencing now may be 10 times higher than normal. Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas leads to greenhouse gas emissions, which will trap heat in the atmosphere and push the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to the highest level in 2 million years.
The New York Times said that scientists said that the frequency and intensity of heat waves in Europe and the western United States increased faster than almost anywhere else on earth. In addition to climate change, there are other factors, including atmospheric and ocean circulation and the acceleration of Arctic warming. Vakhrushev, a Russian meteorologist, was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying that the excessive construction of green energy in Europe also had a certain impact.
Some countries provide large subsidies for the construction of wind farms and solar panels, which cover a large area of land and disturb the atmospheric circulation in areas where windmills are installed on a large scale.
According to the commentary, for most big carbon polluters, it is much easier to promise to deal with climate change than to take practical actions. In the United States, President Biden learned this after a painful lesson. According to the latest analysis of Rongding Consulting, the United States is expected to reduce emissions by 24% to 35% on the basis of 2005 by 2030, far below the country's promised target of reducing emissions by 50% to 52% by 2030.
The Associated Press said that the two-day Petersburg Climate Dialogue just ended in Berlin, Germany on June 5438+09. Europe is not only experiencing high temperatures, but also facing a winter energy crisis, which may make the European continent retreat in dealing with climate change.
The World Meteorological Organization said that the heat wave in Europe will last until February 2060. The World Meteorological Organization said on June 19 that the heat wave sweeping Europe will last until the middle of next week. In the future, this kind of high temperature weather may become the "standard" in summer in Europe, and the negative effects of climate change such as high temperature will last at least until the 1960s.
The World Meteorological Organization and the World Health Organization held a joint press conference in Geneva, Switzerland on the same day. Petrie Talas, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, said at a news conference: "In the next few decades, heat waves will appear more and more frequently. The negative trend caused by climate change will last at least until 2060, and people's achievements in mitigating climate change will not change this trend. " The World Meteorological Organization predicts that the global melting trend of glaciers will last for hundreds of years or even longer.

Many countries in Europe, including Britain, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Germany, have recently experienced unusually high temperatures, with the highest local temperature reaching 45 degrees Celsius, leading to heatstroke and even death. According to Talas, this heat wave may make more people sick in Europe and increase the mortality rate of the elderly. However, the World Meteorological Organization will not consider naming the heat wave like a hurricane for the time being.
Maria Nella, director of the WHO Department of Environment, Climate Change and Health, warned at a news conference that the heat wave would have a serious impact on many groups, such as the elderly, children and pregnant women.
In the summer of 2003, there was a rare high temperature weather in Europe. The continuous high temperature has caused severe drought and water shortage, and caused many people to have health problems and even die.
According to the forecast of the World Meteorological Organization, the heat wave in Europe will last until 2060, and many European countries worried about energy shortage will be hit by extreme high temperature. According to the provisional data of the Met Office, the temperature in Britain has reached the highest level of 40.3 degrees Celsius in the past 24 hours, and many areas have broken the previous record of the highest temperature. The weatherman warned that the temperature was still rising.
France issued an extreme high temperature warning, and the Netherlands reported a record-breaking July temperature. Germany has experienced the hottest day so far this year, and the German Meteorological Bureau predicts that the western part of Germany may break through the 40 degrees Celsius mark this week. Italy predicts that this week will be spent in a high temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.
In addition to the record high temperature, the number of fire alarms is also increasing. Southwest France recently experienced the worst wildfire in more than 30 years, and deadly wildfires in France, Spain, Portugal and Greece forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes. When recording this fierce heat wave, the European media said, "There was a fire, the runway melted, the fire truck burned, and the temperature record rolled." Up to now, thousands of people have been killed in this heat wave.
"This is the third super heat wave that Europe has experienced this year, after the temperatures in May and June in many areas hit record highs. The frequency of heat waves is getting higher and higher, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. This is because of human-caused climate change. " Vikki Thompson, a climate scientist at Bristol University, has been studying extreme climate, especially extreme high temperature for a long time. He explained to the paper that since 1900, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have increased the global average temperature by more than 1 Celsius.
"The heat wave in Europe is accelerating, three to four times faster than other regions at the same latitude. This is because the change of high-speed jet brings hotter airflow to the area with higher frequency. "
In addition to Europe, many countries in Asia and the United States are also experiencing continuous high temperature weather. Thompson told the newspaper that there are record high temperatures all over the world, and the large-scale mode of the atmosphere will lead to high pressure in many areas at the same time, which will lead to high temperature. "If we want to stop the heat wave, we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We also need to adapt to the high temperatures of these' new normal' and minimize the risks posed by heat waves to human health. "
"There are regional differences in heat waves." Sjoukje Philip, a climate scientist at the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI), said that the heat waves in western Europe are heating up faster than those in other regions, which is the result of multiple factors: soil drought, high-speed airflow changes, and high-pressure areas that often stay in the same place for a long time. In India and Central America, the rising trend of heat waves is offset by some local factors, such as irrigation or air pollution.
Due to the change of global weather patterns, extreme high temperature events do occur in natural climate changes. However, in recent decades, the increase in frequency, duration and intensity of these events is obviously related to the observed global warming and can be attributed to human activities. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on June 19 that the current heat wave sweeping Europe will last until next week, and the negative effects of climate change such as high temperature will last at least until the 1960s.
