1. What is the so-called extreme weather? Extreme weather refers to rare natural meteorological events in a specific area at a specific time. The probability of this kind of weather is very low. Extreme weather can be divided into two categories, namely extreme temperature and extreme drought and humidity. Their similarity is that the frequency and probability of occurrence are very low, which has great influence on the whole country and even society. Since the beginning of 2 1 century, with the continuous warming of the global climate, the probability of extreme weather has changed greatly and has an increasing trend. In 2007, a once-in-a-century rainstorm occurred in Britain, which greatly affected the lives of local people. 20 1 1 year, tornadoes visited the United States, causing hundreds of casualties. Florence 20 18 attacked the north and south of the United States, causing floods.

Second, the influence of extreme weather on our daily life. Extreme cold weather is not only an environmental problem of climate change, but also one of the important factors affecting the global economy. When extreme cold weather occurs, all industries will be greatly affected. For example, America is very cold. There are 2,300 flights cancelled in the United States, and 1 1800 flights have been delayed due to the weather. The tracks are frozen, which makes the train unable to operate normally. The large-scale electricity consumption of every household overwhelmed the power supply station, and some government agencies were forced to stop service. In addition, through the research of scientists, it is concluded that the occurrence of extreme weather will increase the incidence of various diseases and human mortality to a certain extent, and may even directly lead to the loss of various vital signs. It is said that the reason why novel coronavirus is so rampant in 2020 is influenced by the weather, and the result is obvious.

The probability of such extreme weather in early years is about 5%~ 10%. However, since the 20th century, the probability of extreme weather is getting higher and higher, which shows that the environmental problems in nature cannot be ignored. In order to ensure that human beings can continue to live on the earth, please protect our nature more and do less harm.
