Portugal, China, Britain, and Tunisia are all in hell. Why everything is on fire this summer

Our planet experienced unprecedented heat waves in June and July of this year (2022), which hit Europe particularly but also North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Temperatures soared above 40 degrees Celsius, and as usual, many previous records were broken. The vast majority of the eastern hemisphere appeared to be on fire in a horrifying map released by the US space and aviation agency (NASA) on July 13!

The heat wave in western Europe, which was already suffering from a severe drought, sparked fires in Portugal, Spain, and spots of France. On July 13, temperatures in Leiria, Portugal, reached 45 degrees Celsius, and more than half of the nation was on high alert as firefighters battled 14 active fires. More than 7,400 acres of land burned during this time.

A heat wave and flames that ravaged Tunisia in North Africa decimated the nation's grain harvest. The record-breaking temperature of 48 degrees Celsius was broken on July 13 in the capital city of Tunis. After rising to 52 degrees Celsius in late June, the temperature in Iran remained high in July. (2) In contrast, the summer in China brought about three heat waves that resulted in curving roads and melting asphalt. On July 13, 2022, the Shanghai Xujiahui observatory registered its hottest temperature ever of 40.9 degrees Celsius.

Hot weather

The term "heat wave" does not, by definition, refer to a specific temperature but rather to a sudden increase in temperatures above their averages somewhere by a significant margin. For example, the average temperature in a given location maybe 35 degrees Celsius, but if temperatures in Germany and Poland reach almost the same level and Spain crosses the 40-degree threshold, this represents a significant increase from the average and typically results in a significant number of fatalities.

You might be shocked by these numbers, but many people aren't aware that heat waves are one of the most terrifying murderous tools in modern times. Of course, we can only talk about them and recall the massive heat wave that hit Russia(4) in 2010 and killed about 60,000 people, but in April and May 2015, a wave of 5 extreme heat swept it before entering the country, killing 770 people in other parts of the country.

What is going on with Earth? Every time you take in a climate change-related event, this question must occasionally haunt you. However, you may also tell yourself that it is simply a matter of social media platforms and their spread, which is nothing new, but the news about it has just started to surface. Contrary to popular belief, Europe has only seen the most severe (5) heat wave attacks within the past 20 years, specifically in (2018, 2010), 2003, 2016, and 2002.

You might be surprised to learn that the ten hottest years in the history of our temperature measurements have all occurred in the past twenty years and that 2019 saw some new records broken during the wave that hit the world in January(7) so that the temperature difference between two cities in the North and South of the world was 100 degrees Celsius!

One such explanation

What caused that to occur? The only consensus in the government building corridors is among the 97 percent of scientists who have specialized in studying the issue, even though it is the only response that everyone is aware of and the relevant agencies discuss it virtually daily. , it is modern man's activity that causes climate change, but at that point, you might wonder how climate change relates to heat waves. For instance, you might say that a particular heat wave had a difference from average temperatures of about 20 degrees, even though we know that global warming only increases average temperatures by one and a half degrees.

Where do the remaining degrees originate?

Because the climate is a complex system, this is one of the worst misconceptions that people have about climate change. To understand this, imagine that we had designed a set of electronic bells that would ring when they detected any sound at a distance of 5 meters from them. We then covered a large area of land with 10,000 bells, each spaced 5 meters apart from the others in all directions. Finally, we struck just one bell.

The "Butterfly Effect," which states that a small event like a butterfly wing fluttering in China may cause a hurricane in the United States, illustrates how highly complex systems rely on small changes in their environment. The idea is that these small events grow and accumulate gradually to affect everything in their surroundings, giving it a greater impetus to growth, and so growth continues until its impact.

Each point in climate systems typically follows this pattern; they are interconnected. When average temperatures increase, even slightly, there is a higher likelihood that climatic anomalies and extremes—including hot waves, cold waves, sandstorms, and deadly hurricanes—will develop. To better appreciate that point, we may look at a recent study from Princeton University9 that was just published a month ago and found that when global average temperatures rise, coupled heat waves—those that occur in pairs—increase in frequency and severity.

Continuous flames

One of the most famous examples is the rise in temperatures in Iran(10) during the summer of 2018 when some areas recorded close to 53 degrees Celsius, which directly affected many people. The study pointed to the evolution of the Earth's climate change through a computer simulation and stressed that this will inevitably put an excessive load on emergency units and the provision of medical services in general. 56672 MW is its electrical value of it. which was a historical person!

In a related vein, a significant study in this field published about three years ago in the journal(11) "Science Advances" (Science Advances) linked the rapid rise by half a degree Celsius in average temperatures in India between 1960 and 2009 and the rise in rates of heat waves by 50% in some areas. As a result, the probability of deaths associated with heat waves increased to 146 percent, and nations like India and Pakistan entered the range around the time of the last ice age.

The same conclusions were reached by a research team from the University of California in a recent study(12), which covered more than 200 cities with a population of more than a quarter of a million homes. However, the most notable finding in that study(12) is a crucial finding that states that cities are more affected by heat waves than villages because the nature of cities prevents heat from escaping.

Spirited speeches

And it's not far from us we're trying to predict the future of the Arab world during the current century. According to a study(13, 14) from the Max Planck Institute for Atmospheric Chemistry, there will come a day when summer nighttime temperatures won't fall below 30 degrees Celsius, and summer daytime temperatures will typically range from 50 to 60 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, research and computer models, constructed 

The last four years have been the hottest in the Arab world, breaking records like sea waves on rocks. However, predictions that the next five years will be even hotter are the most thought-provoking and attention-grabbing. According to a recent study in the journal "Nature"(15) published by the English University of Southampton, the climate is likely to warm more and set new records. Of course, this does not mean that temperatures will soar to the point of combustion, but it does indicate that the issue is slowly getting worse. This places a significant burden on the Arab world's capacity in several areas, from food security through labor and production to energy conservation.

Things to do The answer to this question is straightforward, but no one wants to accept it just yet. There is an astounding discrepancy between what needs to be done to stop the serious development of climate change and what has been accomplished thus far. Another study published in the journal "Nature"[16] found that political pressure mechanisms that block the passage of climate laws are one of their inhibitory impacts. Political pressure is one of the most potent forces slowing down humanity's progress toward a world with less climate change or at the very least a world that is on the verge of impending disasters.

If you stop a climate scientist at any prestigious university and ask him what is expected to happen, he will open his hands and say, "I don't know," indicating that no one is taking serious action. On the other hand, climate anomalies are devouring the planet every day, and there are numerous international meetings, hotels full of politicians seated next to open dining tables full of pleasures, and speeches full of enthusiasm.
