Siberia is no longer the same: Why is nature enraged at us?
News Today it’s already impossible to imagine issues without stories about regular climatic anomalies and natural disasters in the most unexpected places. For example, over 90 people have already died in Greece from terrible forest fires caused by extraordinary heat, another 25 are missing.
In the north of Europe, too, everything is amiss. For weeks, fires continue in the once calm and prosperous Sweden. The situation has reached the point where the Swedish Air Force drop laser-guided war bombs on a burning forest in order to extinguish the flame of an explosive wave. Due to the record heat of over 40 degrees in Japan, dozens of people died from heat stroke. In the Russian Transbaikalia, thousands of people were affected by severe flooding. In areas of Siberia there is an unusual heat. In the Chelyabinsk region, storms of incredible force raged for a week and a half, killing several people with lightning and burning wooden buildings.
What is going on? Does nature itself want to wipe us all off the face of the earth? The results of meteorological observations indicate that, since 1980, the number of natural anomalies has grown 2,5 times. The Russian Hydrometeorological Center gives disappointing forecasts:
And then it will only get worse. Changes in the weather will begin to become more and more abrupt, in some regions of the planet there will be prolonged abnormal heat, in others - pouring torrential rains, leading to flooding. The effects of these atmospheric events will be devastating hurricanes and coastal flooding due to rising sea levels. Moreover, the location of these natural phenomena will turn out to be abnormal: snow will fall in the Sahara, and the heat will exhaust Canada or Siberia.
What can be associated with such anomalous behavior of nature? It is believed that the climate shift in Europe is due to a change in the movement of the warm Gulf Stream and its continuation - the North Atlantic Current - due to the melting of Arctic ice and the desalination of this part of the World Ocean. But this cannot explain, for example, the 40-degree heat in Tokyo. This could be global climate change, where the slowdown of the Gulf Stream is only part of the bigger problem.
Some experts tend to see the cause of earthly troubles in the heavenly luminary. The sun is the main supplier of heat to the planet. It is known that solar activity is subject to a certain cyclical nature. During its decline, cooling on the Earth occurs, with an increase - the planet can warm up, however, scientists from the University of Edinburgh have found that such abnormal temperature jumps are short-lived.
Also a very popular theory today explaining climate change on the planet by anthropogenic impact. Indeed, the increase in the greenhouse effect is influenced by the increased carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, cement production, agriculture, and cattle breeding as a result of the industrial revolution. It may seem unbelievable that over 80% of anthropogenic greenhouse gases are released from the dung of a multimillion-dollar livestock population.
It has not yet been established for certain that it has a decisive role in climate change, and is it even possible to counteract this? But it is already clear that it is necessary to be prepared for the growing frequency and strength of natural anomalies.
