Canadians and the British have analyzed precipitation trends in recent decades and concluded that releasing more toxic gases into the atmosphere has fueled heavy rains and floods in the Northern Hemisphere.
The temperature in Spain has risen around 0.6 degrees Celsius since 1971, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). However, there are no significant differences in the rainfall averages, which remain at a normal average value of about 648 liters per square meter.
Many people are skeptical about whether the planet's climate is changing, but the degree of their skepticism varies systematically depending on what words we use. According to an American study, there are more people who believe in "climate change" than in "global warming."
An international study in which Spanish scientists participate has shown that the heat wave that affected Europe in the summer of 2010 was warmer and more intense than that of 2003. The research indicates that large heat waves such as the one in 2010 could return to occur from 2050 and increase in frequency towards the end of the century as a consequence of global warming.
Climate change will have a full impact on the fauna of Spanish vertebrates in the 21st century, to the point that more than 51% of species could require specific conservation and adaptation measures to offset its effects, according to a report prepared by the CSIC .
110 years ago, the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott arrived in Antarctica. His collection of bryozoans, the small Antarctic creatures that inhabit the seafloor, could now help scientists understand future climate changes, a study published in the journal Current Biology shows.
Two studies published in 'Nature' conclude that the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, mainly CO2, have boosted the heavy rains in the northern hemisphere in recent decades, increasing the risk of flooding.
If CO2 emissions continue at the current rate until the end of the 21st century, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases could reach levels between 30 and 100 million years ago, which would mean a rise in temperatures to 31ºC on average.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
