According to an international research, drastic steps are needed to mitigate the outcome of the inevitable processes.
Although many people still cling to it to this day, it is becoming increasingly clear to most that global warming is not a fiction and that we are indeed experiencing weather events from time to time that would have been unimaginable even just a decade ago. In addition to the fact that the year 2023 was the warmest since the beginning of the measurements, serious changes are taking place in other matters regarding the climate of our planet.
Our major ocean currents on the brink of collapse, large-scale, rapid melting of the “doomsday” glaciers, and the threat of destruction of the Great Barrier Reef all indicate that things are not going well. After the Norwegian-based CICERO International Climate Research Center, another group of scientists has now confirmed that, according to their data, the extremes experienced this year will become more and more common in the future.
In a statement, the World Weather Attribution (WWA) has now called on decision-makers to take measurable steps to curb global warming. They write that this is also necessary because in the future similar weather anomalies will occur twice as often worldwide.
According to the organization dedicated to the investigation of extreme natural events, Boris, which swept through Central Europe recently, was the strongest such storm ever recorded. The cyclone, which raged with varying intensity in each country, claimed about 24 lives, and the material damage left behind can be measured in billions of euros.
According to Joyce Kimutai, a climate researcher working on the project, this case clearly points out that the age of traditional fuels is slowly coming to an end, and the connections can be seen by anyone who is not blind. He warns, the probability of such weather phenomena may double, and their strength will increase by 7 percent.
Based on the published study, it is expected that such an event could occur every 100-300 years with a warming of 1.3 degrees Celsius, however, if the warming compared to the level before the industrial revolution exceeds 2 degrees, such storms are 50 percent more likely to arrive and 5 percent more precipitation they also bring with them. If we continue this way, this will happen by 2050 at the latest.
