Kuwait burns cars at 73 degrees. What did the local authorities do to ensure the safety of the people?

Since July, abnormal high temperatures have occurred in many countries and regions around the world. According to CCTV news reports, Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait in the Middle East, has entered the "barbecue mode" in an all-round way. Temperature measuring instruments show that the highest temperature in the sun in Kuwait City once reached 73℃, once again setting a new global high temperature record.

For many people, it is almost impossible to have long-term outdoor activities when the temperature reaches above 35 degrees Celsius in summer. And the temperature above 45 degrees is enough to threaten our health. It is reported that in order to ensure national safety, the Kuwaiti government stipulates that workers are forbidden to engage in outdoor work during the high temperature period of11:00-16: 00.

In fact, many countries in the world have been swept by heat waves in recent days. Even the temperature in southwest Canada soared to above 47 degrees Celsius, setting a new local high temperature record. Under the impact of the heat wave, many local people suffered from high temperature heatstroke, and even hundreds of people died of related diseases caused by high temperature.

The World Meteorological Organization has also released a global seasonal climate update. According to experts' prediction, extreme high temperature will be ushered in the northern hemisphere from July to September this year, and many areas will set a new high temperature record.

The extreme high temperature in recent years is caused by global warming;

Scientists have specially studied and analyzed some high-temperature areas in Canada and the United States. The results show that there is a "hot dome" effect over many big cities, which will hinder the air circulation and make the high temperature weather last longer.

In fact, the harm caused by global warming is far beyond our imagination. Besides restricting our outdoor activities, it does more damage to the natural ecosystem. The gradual increase of temperature will lead to the melting of glaciers, which will lead to various extreme natural disasters such as drought and flood, and make the global ecosystem disorder.

In this vicious circle, many animals and plants will go extinct because they can't adapt to the environment. For human beings, there will be less and less land to live and live in. As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, with the intensification and melting of glaciers in the Arctic Ocean, the global ocean water level continues to rise, and some coastal countries, including China, will face many natural disasters such as typhoons and floods.

At the same time, under the high temperature, agricultural development will face new problems, and the output of many food exporting countries will be greatly reduced, which is enough to trigger a new round of food crisis. According to the statistics of FAO, as of May this year, global food prices rose by 40% year-on-year, setting a new record in recent years. According to the current global high temperature trend, the whole grain price will continue to rise in the future.
