London - Brussels: Agencies - Europe and the Arabs
There are only three weeks left before the Summit of World Leaders on Climate, organized by the United Nations, and everyone is waiting for what will result from this summit to confront the greatest danger facing humanity.
An article published in the British newspaper "The Guardian" shed light on the opinions of climate scientists regarding the climate changes that the planet is exposed to at the present time, which was represented in the spread of forest fires and violent heat waves in many regions of the world. According to what was reported by the Middle East News Agency today, Tuesday, and published by the Seventh Day website in Cairo
The author of the article, Damian Carrington, environmental affairs editor for the Guardian, pointed out that climate scientists have come to the conclusion that all these climate phenomena are just the beginning of more severe and unprecedented climate changes that the planet will be exposed to in the future, and that these phenomena represent only "the tip of a mountain." ice".
And meteorologists add, as the article indicates, that the violent heat waves that hit the world during the current year will become commonplace during the next ten years, and that the next will be even worse at the global level.
The article explains that all these climate changes and expectations require all countries of the world to adopt environmentally friendly policies to avoid further climate deterioration.
In this context, the writer notes that the Guardian polled the opinions of more than 40 meteorologists worldwide who confirmed that relentless carbon emissions ultimately led to an acute and accelerating climate crisis with devastating consequences, explaining at the same time that the rise The current and unprecedented temperature of the planet is in line with the warnings they issued decades ago, which resulted in the return of the El Niño phenomenon again this year.
Scientists point out that many regions of the world will be exposed to heat waves more than expected and will suffer more than before due to sharply changing climate patterns.
The article refers to the opinion of Professor Piers Forster from the University of Leeds, Britain, who said that last July was the hottest month in human history, explaining that those levels of temperatures will be the usual during the next 10 years if countries around the world do not combine efforts. the world to avoid this fate.
Professor Krishna Achutarao of the Institute of Technology of India says that the consequences of climate change in this way are much worse than scientists expected, which raises many concerns.
The article sheds light on the statements of Professor Christopher Cassou of the University of Toulouse, France, in which he says that the heat waves and forest fires that hit the world recently broke all records in North America, Europe and Asia.
The writer expressed his hope that the leaders of countries from all over the world, civil society and the private sector, during the United Nations Climate Conference, which will be held on the twentieth of next September, will adopt decisions to take the necessary steps in order to protect the climate, noting that the United Nations Climate Summit will be held at the end of November of this year in the UAE.
At the end of the article, the writer stressed the importance of reducing carbon emissions by no less than 43 percent of the current size, in the hope that this step will lead to preserving the Earth's temperature and preventing further rise in temperatures.
