Environmentalists warn about global natural disasters

Humanity still has a few decades to avert disaster

After two weeks of hot weather in Ukraine finally the rains came. However, environmentalists warn that every year hot days will grow longer and the thermometer to hit new records.

Possible consequences of this warming – shortages of food and water, disease and natural disasters.

Last week in Ukraine was not only the hottest all year, but broke many temperature records for almost 140-year history of meteorological observations. The temperature reached about 40 degrees. And in Europe even exceeded. 10 the EU declared red level of danger because of the extreme heat.

Experts claim the weather – not anomaly, and a new reality. And there are several reasons. Some scientists suggest that the warming is natural natural process. However, most believe the cause of climate change – people. Deforestation, the burning of oil and coal, the growth of landfills increase the amount of harmful gases in the atmosphere and lead to its heating.

Journalists of the British newspaper “The Independent”, referring to environmentalists, they write: for a century heat wave in Europe will lead to large-scale fires and droughts that cause food shortages. Heat stroke and cardiovascular diseases will zabirat life 150 thousand Europeans every year. All this will become reality if mankind will not reduce the use of oil, coal and gas.

Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to cede the business for future generations. Donald trump, the President of the second carbon state, recently announced the release of Washington from the Paris climate agreement. Scientists argue that if such a powerful industrial country like the United States, will not reduce emissions, the efforts of other countries will be in vain.

The effects of global weather changes are noticeable in Ukraine now. In the steppe part of the country had a tornado, an abnormal temperature extremes have become more frequent in the mountains, always avalanches. Different behavior of the insects, birds and animals.

However, environmentalists say: the massive fires and floods will cover the world soon. So humanity still has a few decades to avert a global catastrophe. However, if you do not start working on the bugs today, then tomorrow will be too late.
