In large European cities such as Roma e Paris By now we live with temperatures “as south of Tunis“And while the process of Africanization of the European climate goes on, with the column that in the last 50 years has increased the average of the period of two degrees, in France they were Closed 1,350 schools Public, after about 700 on Monday, out of a total of 45 thousand, due to the heat wave that invested the country, with sixteen French departments, including that of Paris, who have been put for today and tomorrow in the hot red alert.
The climatologist Dino zardi explains to Courier That the summer that has just begun reminds him that “of 2003, when we had a high pressure uninterrupted from June to September. With many deaths, unfortunately. In France there was a massacre of elderly, because the rest homes were not equipped”. And in the face of the new records of the temperatures he explains: “The African anticyclone in practice has embraced us, I use this expression, widening more and more towards central Europe. So in Rome as in Paris today we have temperatures as south of Tunis, the warm air of the equator reaches new latitudes and the Mediterranean It has now become a hot spot, a hot stain, local demonstration but amplified of global warming “. Mediterranean that has already exceeded the average of the beginning of June by 5 degrees” with terrible consequences also for the same fish species forced to change habitats and to deal with new invasive species “.
Those who accuse this increase in temperatures more are those who live in the citywhere cement and scarcity of trees contribute to the spread of the heat: “Cities are now terrible extreme heat trapsthe larger they are, the more the temperature increases. And so we beat one record after the other, 46 degrees on Saturday in Spain, 43 in southern Portugal and 40 in France and Italy. It is the urban effect on the climate, for this reason the trees around should be planted. The heat kills, unfortunately. And if it is true that compared to the pre-industrial era the temperature has already risen by 1.5-2 degrees, it is calculated that at the end of the century if we do not do anything to reduce greenhouse gases we will have a Increase up to 4-5 degrees. We could reach up to 50 degrees. That is, conditions no longer livable. Think only of when you have a fever and your body temperature goes from 37 to 39 degrees. Feel a discomfort, isn’t it? Here, imagine to perceive 50 ″.
And among the various causes, the climatologist also indicates conflicts: “The bombs have a visible effect, they destroy human lives, buildings, nuclear sites. But they also have an invisible, very relevant. They raise the amount of dust, sulphates, particularly, capable of having consequences on the climate in the air”.
