Extreme high temperatures occur frequently in the Northern Hemisphere. Will this year become a watershed in global high temperatures?

This year’s high temperature weather has a huge impact

This year’s high temperature weather is the longest and hottest summer in recent decades, affecting many countries and regions. It has caused very serious consequences; for example, many European countries have not experienced high temperature weather in previous years, but this extreme weather has exceeded 40°C, causing rivers to dry up in France, the United Kingdom, Spain and other countries, and the land Drought and residents have died due to high temperatures, and even glaciers in Switzerland have begun to melt; southern my country has also encountered severe high temperature weather, especially in Sichuan and Chongqing areas, which have exceeded 40°C, and Beibei District in Chongqing has even set a global record The highest temperature in history is 46°C. The extreme high temperature has also led to insufficient electricity for residents in Sichuan and Chongqing, drying up of rivers and lakes, and the occurrence of large-scale wildfires, which has had a very serious impact.

This high temperature event is an accidental event

The impact of this high temperature event is very huge, so many people are afraid that such weather will continue in the future, but in fact this year The high-temperature weather is just an accident; this year's high-temperature weather is because the subtropical high pressure has continued to envelope the northern hemisphere. At the same time, the cold air in Siberia did not relieve the subtropical high pressure in time this year, which led to severe high-temperature weather.

Human beings still need to pay attention to the protection of the earth's environment

Although this year's high temperature weather is an accidental event, if humans do not pay attention to the protection of the environment, they will face more extreme events in the future The climate; due to the increasing number of humans, the rate of human society's exploitation of the earth's resources is also increasing. Human civilization has begun to over-exploit and destroy the earth's environment, emitting a large amount of greenhouse gases and causing abnormalities in the earth's climate. Therefore, it is very likely that this time High temperature weather is only a warning from nature; in the future, humans should pay attention to environmental protection, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adopt a low-carbon and environmentally friendly lifestyle, and carry out sustainable green development.
