[Perspective Club · Ecological Supervision] Many European countries have been attacked by heat waves in Spain and Germany.

Guide

Many Western European countries have experienced abnormal high -temperature weather this weekend this weekend, and high temperatures have caused large -scale wildfires in Spain and Germany.

Regarding high temperature weather that appear around the world, scientists have pointed out that many studies have shown that the impact of artificial climate change on high temperature weather is very obvious. Humans and animals and plants constitute a serious threat. As a result, climate change is urgent.

Western European high temperature wildfire

Many European countries have been attacked by heat waves in the past few days, wildfires in Spain and Germany have raged, and residents of dozens of villages in northern Spain have been evacuated. Firefighters were still struggling to extinguish the fire on the 19th, and there were currently no casualties reports.

Spain ushered in a rare high temperature this month, and the highest temperature in many places exceeded 40 degrees Celsius during the day. This year's heat waves came early, setting a record for Spain since 1981. In addition, the overall lack of precipitation this year, coupled with heavy winds, led to wildfire raging.

Northern Spain's Samora province was the most serious. This wild fire was triggered by a thunderbolt on the 15th, and 18 village residents were evacuated. The spread of wild fire caused high -speed train services from the Spanish capital Madrid to the northwest region to interrupt on the 18th and recovered the next morning.

The local fire department said that the area of ​​the wild fire in Samora has reached 30,000 hectares. After 3 days of high temperature, strong wind and low humidity weather, the temperature of Samora province decreased on the morning of the 19th. By this condition, about 650 firefighters formed a "encirclement" around the wild fire under the support of the fireproof aircraft.

However, the fire department warned that the disadvantage of weather changes may still cause wildfires.

As a preventive measure, the Government of Navara Autonomous Region in northern Spain evacuated about 15 villages in residents, and also asked farmers to stop using heavy machinery that might cause fire. This area is expected to last until the 22nd.

"The situation is still very subtle. Due to high temperature and strong wind, we have many active fires." Harvere Remyrez, vice chairman of Navara Autonomous Region, told TV that there were buildings in the suburbs of villages that were damaged. Some wild animals have to be transferred from a zoo in Navara.

Wildfires also occurred in three regions in Catalonia Autonomous Region in Northeast Spain. Firefighters said that in the past week, more than 200 wildfires have occurred in Catalonia alone. Among them, 2,700 hectares of land in Leida were burned.

High -temperature weather has also caused frequent mountain fires in Spain. The Spanish National Meteorological Administration's forecast shows that Spain is facing high fire risks or extremely high risks. Picture source: CCTV News

After experiencing high temperature and rainy weather, Germany has also recently occurred in many wildfires. The German national meteorological institution said on the 19th, the highest temperature in the Eastern City Dreson and Cottbus reached 39.2 degrees Celsius.

Near the town of Troyanbury, about 50 kilometers southwest of Berlin, the capital of Germany, the strong wind caused the fire to spread, prompting local officials to order about 600 residents of three villages in three villages on the 19th.

"This is not an exercise." Local officials said on social media.

More than 1,400 firefighters, soldiers and civil defense experts rushed to the scene to deal with the fire.

Why is it getting hotter?

This wave of waves did not just happen in some countries and regions, but appeared in many places around the world. What is the relationship behind it? Why is it more and more hot? The answer is reasonable.

In March of this year, the temperature of the North Pole and Antarctica has reached a record high. Scientists have been warned for many years that the abnormal temperature rise of poles should be regarded as an important sign of global climate change -there will be more extreme weather events.

Since then, meteorological stations around the world have observed "continuous" high -temperature records.

Beginning in March, the abnormal heat waves attacked India and Pakistan, bringing their own meteorological records of the highest temperature in the month in 122. The continued hot weather in South Asia has brought catastrophic consequences to tens of millions of people.

This spring in the United States is more like summer. The temperature in the country has soared in May, and there is a momentum that it has drove the phenomenon of high temperature phenomenon last year. On the other side of the ocean, as the heat wave swept Europe, from Britain to Spain and Germany, the highest temperature in Western Europe and South Europe had reached 40 degrees Celsius in early June. In East Asia, the Chinese Meteorological Department has recently released multiple high -temperature alarms.

Scientists have proven that these abnormal high temperatures do not happen naturally. A climate attribution of climate just released last month showed that the impact of humans on the climate increased the possibility of South Asian heat waves 30 times.

Vikki Thompson, a climate scientist at the Institute of Cabut, the University of Bristol University, explained to the Guardian: "Climate change is making the world's heat waves hotter and longer. It can even be detected from the number of deaths caused by heat waves. "

Friederike Otto at the Grand Empire Institute of Technology Grandham Institute of Technology in London Empires said that the frequency of heat waves in Europe alone increased by 100 times or more. This is because artificially emit greenhouse gas to Caused in the atmosphere. "As far as high temperature weather is concerned, climate change is a real game rules -they are increasing frequency, strength, and duration of their globally." She said. The serious threat of high -temperature weather on human health is obvious, and it also indirectly damages crops and causes wildfire. Among everyone, low -income people are most affected because they usually work on the wild, factories, or on outdoor streets, and lack air -conditioning facilities in their homes.

On the other hand, the air conditioner as an important tool for cooling itself is also part of the problem: its growing use and a large amount of energy consumption may accelerate greenhouse gas emissions. According to Bloomberg, Radhika Khosla, deputy professor of Smith College of Oxford University, said: "Global society must be committed to achieving sustainable cooling, otherwise it may enter a fatal vicious circle -the demand for cooling energy will It will further promote greenhouse gas emissions and results, leading to more serious global warming.
