Heat alarm in Germany: Temperatures rise above the global cut!

Deutschland - In Germany, an alarming upward trend regarding temperatures can be observed. As

climate change and its effects

The changes in the climate are also the result of human activities that have led to an increase in greenhouse gas concentrations since the pre -industrial period. These developments not only influence the climate, but also the ecosystems, the atmospheric circulation and the distribution of precipitation, as on the website of the German Weather Service is.

A review of climate development in Germany shows that the temperature has increased by an average of 1.6 ° C from 1881 to 2021. In recent years, the five warmest years have been measured since 2000, and the number of hot days over 30 ° C has tripled since the 1950s. At the same time, the number of ice days has decreased significantly from 28 to 19 days a year.

future prospects

calculations indicate that Germany must expect a temperature rise of 3.1 ° C to 4.7 ° C by the end of the century compared to the period from 1971 to 2000. The changes in precipitation vary regionally and seasonally, whereby it tends to be wetter winters and drier summers.

In order to counter the temperature developments, a rigorous reduction in emissions is necessary. Climate scenarios, as described in the fifth status report, illustrate the influence of future emissions on global warming. These strategic considerations are crucial in order to achieve the defined goal of keeping global warming up to 2100 below 2 ° C.
