CLIMATE CHANGE AND EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS
Global warming is increasingly concerning scientists worldwide, as it is a phenomenon with catastrophic consequences for humans and nature, closely linked to the major environmental issue of climate change.
Every year, most countries in the world are affected by extreme weather phenomena, which cost human lives and more. Devastating damages and consequences to the natural environment are disheartening, including the death of countless animals, destruction of forests, plants, and trees.
However, the problem that concerns scientists more than ever lies in the alarming frequency and occurrence of these phenomena, as well as their unpredictability. Extreme high temperatures, deadly storms, and sweeping winds create serious problems in many parts of the planet, with a high cost to ecosystems and biodiversity. It is worth noting that in the last month, particularly high temperatures have been recorded in Europe and North America, with scientists expressing fear and uncertainty about the future, as well as the urgent need to curb the phenomenon. As a result of prolonged heatwaves, there is intense drought prevailing for a considerable period, leading to an increased risk of wildfires.
Another direct consequence of the climate crisis is intense and frequent rainfall and storms, causing massive floods and frequent overflow in rivers and lakes, resulting in the deaths of many people, destruction of large ecosystems, and the deterioration of water resources’ quality.
