climate change has reached a critical point. The intergovernmental panel on climate change, in Geneva, ringing alarm bells. The extreme weather is affecting food production.
Geneva – In many ways, it comes to food. A good quarter of the human-produced greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. And not only that – the Temperature increase of more than 1.5 per cent, again acts on the agriculture. Extreme weather events will affect food production significantly in the future, according to the intergovernmental panel on climate change from Geneva. The global rise in temperature over the land areas already of 1.53 degrees. This is one of the on Thursday in Geneva, special report published by the IPCC. The Council rings alarm bells.
For the report of the world at the time intergovernmental panel on climate change periods from 1850 to 1900 and from 2006 to 2015 is compared. The result is that the global temperature having risen by nearly 0.9 degrees, which is 1.53 percent above the pre-industrial temperature.
climate change: extreme weather will be the item to “normal weather”
In the sequence will not increase in the coming decades, the number, duration, and intensity of heat waves and droughts, most recently around the Mediterranean sea, warn the 107 researchers from 52 countries. In many regions, in addition, more frequent extreme rainfall will occur. For Germany’s average temperature could be about 40 degrees more and more likely, says Professor Mojib Latif from the Helmholtz center for ocean research (Geomar) in Kiel to Welt.de.
climate change: intergovernmental panel on climate change strongly recommends to protect the earth better
The IPCC recommends in its report urgently to protect in the fight against a further warming of the earth, the forests and, not least, the Moore the better. At the same time, the IPCC sees threats to the food supply. “The stability of the food supply is expected to decrease, since the magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events that affect food production will rise.”
In the past few months, climate change is not only in the consciousness of the Germans has become an important topic. Also on the landscape in Germany, the global warming influence. Martin Neumeyer, head of the Bavarian state forestry Commission, reported in Merkur.de* on the changes in the Bavarian forests.
