Research conducted by scientists of the Center for International Climate Studies (CICERO), shows that events such as heat waves, floods, hurricanes and droughts will become more frequent and more destructive.
Physicist Bjorn Samset said that minimization of the consequences is possible only if there is a sharp reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
However, at the current rate of change, according to forecasts, extreme conditions will affect about 70% of the planet’s population.
Data from the Copernicus climate service already confirm this trend: last summer was the hottest in the Northern Hemisphere.
Such weather anomalies are expected to occur with increasing frequency, threatening human life, agriculture and ecosystems. The study emphasizes the need for urgent measures to adapt to these conditions.
Previously, NASA recognized the summer of 2024 as the hottest in the entire history of observations, which began in 1880.
Also, a study conducted by scientists at the University of Michigan under the leadership of Peter Reich showed that as soil temperatures rise in northern forests, more carbon dioxide will be released than will be absorbed by plants.
