An international team of climate experts said that, the earth would not have to glow-up as much as had been thought to cause serious consequences of global warming, including more extreme weather and increasing threats to plants and animals. The risk of increased severe weather would rise with a increasing global average temperature between 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit and 3.6 degrees above 1990 levels. The National Climatic Data Center currently reports that global temperatures have risen 0.22 degree since 1990.According to the recent research report, increases in drought, heat waves and floods are cautious in many regions and would have adverse impacts, including increased water stress, wildfire frequency and flood risks starting at less than 1.8 degrees.
Another research had found that, the liability of the 2003 heat wave in Europe led to the death of many number of people extensively increased by the growth of greenhouse gas. Now humans are adding carbon to the atmosphere even faster than in the 1990s. Carbon emissions have been growing at 3.5 percent per year since 2000, up sharply from the 0.9 percent per year in the 1990s.Carbon dioxide and other gases added to the air by industrial and other activities have been blamed for rising temperatures, increasing worries about possible major changes in weather and climate. The new study found evidence of greater susceptibility to climate change for specific populations, such as the poor and elderly, in not only developing but also developed countries.
Hurricane Katrina and the 2003 European heat wave have shown to us the capacity, to adapt climate-related extreme events which is minimal than we expected. As a result, their liabilities are higher than previously thought.
