The 36,000 weather station warned that extreme high temperatures and heavy rains will be more frequent in the future. What will happen?

No one will doubt that we are experiencing an era of continuous deterioration of the earth's climate.

Since the appearance of human beings, the climate of the earth has been constantly changing, and it has become worse and faster. Especially after entering 2 1 century, the global average temperature has been rising, breaking the previous record almost every year.

Recently, the data of 36,000 weather stations around the world were summarized to form a new research report. Jim Salinger, honorary associate researcher of the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture in university of tasmania, and Lisa Alexander, chief researcher of the ARC Center of Excellence for Climate System Science and associate professor of the Climate Change Research Center of the University of New South Wales, were deeply worried and warned the world that under the current climate change trend, the high temperature climate on the earth would become more and more frequent. At the same time, the frequency, power and duration of extreme weather such as rainstorm will become higher and higher.

The earth is in crisis.

The results show that the frequency of high temperature weather has increased significantly around the world.

Take Australia as an example, the whole Australian continent is not only experiencing extreme high temperatures and continuous heat waves. The researchers compared 198 1-20 10 with 195 1-80, and found that the number of unusually warm days increased significantly: in the northernmost part of Australia, it increased by at least 20 days every year, while in other areas, it basically increased by 10. This unusually warm weather is increasing all year round, especially in spring.

As for New Zealand, the situation is even more worrying. The number of summer days in New Zealand is 30.

year

There has been a substantial increase. According to weather station data, from 1950 to 20 18, the frequency of unusually warm weather with an average temperature higher than 25℃ increased from 8% to 12%. New Zealand has a typical temperate maritime climate, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. The average summer temperature in this country is generally only 20℃, and the number of days to reach 25℃ is generally between 19 and 24 days.

However, in the summer of 20 17- 18 and 2019 (New Zealand is located in the southern hemisphere, and they are in midsummer), the average temperature in New Zealand exceeds 25℃ for 32 days and 26 days respectively, far exceeding the previous average.

Under such extreme weather, the glaciers in southern alps, the largest mountain range in New Zealand, have been severely melted, and the ecosystem in the surrounding waters has also suffered great damage. Giant algae in the waters near the South Island and salmon in Marburg Fjord Farm have died in large numbers.

While extreme high temperature weather is constantly appearing, the days of low temperature are gradually decreasing. During the period of 1950-20 18, the average temperature below 0℃ in New Zealand dropped obviously, especially in the North Island, and there was no such low temperature period at all. For local farmers, crops that can only bear fruit in winter frost have basically no harvest, or only some chemical means can be used to simulate the winter weather, but the effect remains to be seen. At the same time, other crops have to face the change of rising temperature. Crops such as grapes must be moved to some areas further south to ensure a good harvest.

For Australia and New Zealand, the unusually high temperature weather, which can reach 10% before history, has appeared more and more frequently in recent years.

Extreme high temperature directly affects people's life and even life. Especially those elderly people or people who have already suffered from a certain disease are likely to die of a certain disease in midsummer or other circumstances.

We often mention the heat island effect and think that cities bear the brunt of the harsh climate. However, research shows that even mountain villages far away from factories, smog and automobile exhaust are doomed to climate deterioration. When sorting out these climate data, researchers repeatedly found that there was a high temperature of 50℃ in rural areas.

At the same time, the precipitation in these areas has decreased in winter. This is relatively good news, because in the dry winter, the night is clearer, which is beneficial to the formation of frost and relieves the process of further temperature rise to some extent.

But in summer, the frequency of rainstorm is higher, and there are more extreme rainstorm weather. This surprised us a little, because when we think of the Australian mountain fires from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, many people think that the weather in Australia should be getting drier and drier. In fact, since the 1960s, the northwest of Australia has been getting wetter and wetter, and the rainstorm weather has become more and more frequent.

At the same time, the researchers summarized the global climate change and got the following pictures. It can be seen that the climate change in western China is quite obvious, especially in the Himalayas. Previous studies have pointed out that there are many germs buried in the Himalayas. If the permafrost here melts, it may lead to the reappearance of ancient viruses, which is worrying

At present, the global climate is still deteriorating. Now that it has entered summer, we have to experience the hot summer weather brought by high temperature weather and witness the process of global warming. The consequences of global warming are not only the above-mentioned body fever and rising mortality, but also a fatal blow to creatures all over the world.

Although all countries in the world are promoting the use of new energy, at present we still give priority to traditional energy. The development efficiency of new energy directly determines how much the earth's ecosystem can be protected. We hope that researchers can make a breakthrough as soon as possible to save our planet before the situation gets out of control.
