Heat, similar to Moscow in 2010, will torment the planet increasingly, regardless of CO2 emissions Heatwave. PHOTO: U. S. National Weather Service Atmosphere of the planet warms up, and this happens regardless of human activity or carbon emissions. This is evidenced by the results. study published by American, Spanish and German by scientists. According to experts, the heat, similar to Moscow in 2010, will torment the planet more often. In an article published in Environmental Research Letters by a group of authors from Universities of Pittsburgh, Madrid and Potsdam, two scenarios are described. According to an optimistic forecast, the number of extreme weather events, including the so-called heat waves, will be increase until 2040, when in the area of action of such phenomena 3% of the Earth’s surface will fall. In the second half of the XXI century. climate stabilizes, however, even in this scenario, extreme weather events will occur on the planet four times more often, than now. In a negative scenario, the climate will change until the end century, and by 2100 in the zone of extreme events will be 85% of the total sushi of the planet. Scientists call the heatwave a giant “cap” hot air, which due to its high mass resists winds and cyclones, remaining in one region in for several weeks. There are no clouds in such a wave, therefore the sun warms such a wave more and more daily, supporting it stability. “A good example of a heat wave is heat, which covered the territory of Russia in 2010 from the Baltic to Caspian Sea, – quoted by Phys.org Dima Como from the University Pittsburgh, one of the co-authors of the study. – In Moscow the region, the average July temperature was seven degrees higher the usual rate is + 25 ° C, reaching in some areas + 40 ° C. ” Scientists have obtained such data by creating a computer model of climate and Having considered possible changes in the weather. One of the results research has become the lack of impact on this climate indicators carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities. It was previously believed that this particular greenhouse gas leads to global warming, but now more and more scientists sure that the planet’s atmosphere is warming up as part of long-term global climatic fluctuations caused by changes in luminosity The sun, as well as the processes inside the earth’s core and other phenomena, on which a person does not affect in any way. Recall that in April it was Canadian scientists published study according to results whose return to climate indicators of the XX century. it will take a few hundreds of years. Canadians predict that, at best, temperature and weather indicators of the XX century. will be restored only by the end of XXIV – mid XXV century. But even according to optimistic forecasts, some changes are already irreversible. So the Greenland glacier will melt completely while the level of the oceans will rise by about 7 meters. However, unless special efforts are made, climate conditions of the XX century. will be restored only after a thousand years.
