The planet has exceeded the critical limit of 1.5°C of global warming compared to the pre-industrial era. The further we go, the more the situation worsens, so much so that last month was considered the warmest March ever. But what does this mean? That we are entering one new climate era.
Since the beginning of the year, global observations have confirmed a worrying trend: temperatures are reaching levels never seen before. This scenario, beyond its immediate meteorological repercussions, raises urgent questions about the health of our planet and our survival.
For example, a Bamakocapital of Mali, temperatures have recently exceeded 43°C, a record that hit the local population hard, especially during Ramadan, the holy month for the country’s Muslim majority. The population suffered from serious dehydrations and heat stroke, leading to an increase in health emergencies, including kidney and liver failure and even cases of encephalopathy.
In just four days, Bamako’s largest hospital recorded a number of deaths observed In a month. Funeral services have also come under pressure, with demand for burials reaching unprecedented peaks.
It is not just humans who are affected by these changes: terrestrial and marine ecosystems are showing clear signs of suffering. Coral is undergoing a shocking bleaching process, a sign of serious environmental stress. Likewise, the The Amazon River has hit its lowest level ever recordedwhile Antarctic sea ice extent has decreased to its smallest size ever observed.
This is not the “new normal,” but rather a journey into the unknownas highlighted by Clair Barnes of the ‘Grantham Institute’.
