Is China’s extreme high temperature weather related to solar activity?

China’s extreme high temperature weather has nothing to do with solar activity.

The nuclear fusion reaction inside the sun allows the sun to continuously release energy from the moment it is ignited. However, the solar energy that actually reaches the earth's surface is very limited. Therefore, researchers believe that solar activity Violent, the main impact is on the earth's magnetic field and other aspects, and the impact on the earth's climate is not great.

This is because the most direct impact during the process of the sun's "fire" is the geomagnetic storm on the earth. All kinds of man-made electronic equipment, spacecraft, etc. will be disturbed by it. For example, For example, in the past, TV sets in every household would sometimes have "snowflake spots", which were actually related to geomagnetic storms.

As for why solar activity has become more and more frequent this year, it is because solar activity itself has an 11-year cycle, and it is now in the explosive stage. Although it seems that this year's sun is a bit strange and abnormal, in fact It is far from reaching the peak of its activity. Research believes that the peak of this round of solar activity will appear next year, and then end after 2025, once again entering a stable state.

So, since solar activity is not the main culprit that causes the earth’s high temperature to persist and is the “murderer” of the current extreme high temperatures, researchers say that the real cause is the abnormal atmospheric circulation caused by global warming. The good "atmospheric circulation" suddenly became abnormal. To put it bluntly, the atmospheric circulation is the global horizontal movement of air, which is what we call "wind". Although solar activity will not cause the earth to suddenly heat up, a large part of the heat on the earth is indeed closely related to the sun. However, because the earth is not a perfect sphere, and its orbit is also elliptical, when the earth receives solar energy , there will be "uneven heating".

For example, the equatorial region receives more heat, while the polar regions receive the least amount of heat. Therefore, in order to balance the earth's atmosphere, there will be no abnormalities due to uneven heating. Therefore, different The airflows in different dimensions will interact to form a global atmospheric system, allowing the earth to better regulate heat and achieve atmospheric balance.

But the addition of humans has changed everything. In the past 50 years, the greenhouse gases emitted by humans have caused the earth to heat up at a rate unprecedented in the past 2,000 years. It is getting warmer and warmer. As a result, it is impossible to regulate the earth's heat by relying only on atmospheric circulation. Especially in high latitudes, the heating rate is four times that of other areas, which also makes the earth's climate continue to deteriorate.

As a result, atmospheric circulation abnormalities have appeared, and the direct impact is that extreme weather on the earth will become more and more frequent. In summer, it is extremely high temperature, and in winter, it is more likely to occur." Disasters such as "snowstorms", such as the blizzards that occurred in the United States last winter and in January this year, were affected by abnormal atmospheric circulation.

The extreme high temperature in the Northern Hemisphere since June this year is also due to abnormal atmospheric circulation, which has caused the subtropical high to form a global warm high pressure, which has been reluctant to leave over the Northern Hemisphere, and has repeatedly tried to enter. The cold air has been "dissuaded" by the cold air, so this summer will give people a feeling of being hotter than in previous years. In our country, 40 degrees Celsius is not even on the hottest list.
