Climate change: rising temperatures threaten to destroy biodiversity!
An alarming report shows the devastating consequences of climate change for the wildlife: According to the latest findings by ecologist Mark Urban, global warming could endanger up to 500,000 animal species. The global temperatures are currently increasing by 1.3 degrees Celsius compared to the late 19th century, which already has serious changes in nature. While some species such as birds get along better, less mobile organisms, including amphibians such as frogs, are increasingly in trouble. These animals rely on moist habitats that are threatened by droughts and rising temperatures. Urban's analysis indicates that a third of all animal species could be threatened with extinction in the event of an unchecked warming. Species that live in the mountains or islands are particularly at risk where the space to adapt to temperature changes disappears. In addition, invasive types that are reinforced by climate change lead to additional dangers for these populations, such as
renewable energies in Germany
In view of this dramatic situation, the pressure on Germany to make its energy production climate -neutral is increasing. In order to achieve the climate goals by 2030, a massive expansion of solar and wind energy is required. The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) has specified the requirements for drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to 65 percent. The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies is crucial. Data is collected and evaluated monthly on the installed performance of the wind and solar power plants in order to present the progress in the expansion. This focuses primarily on photovoltaics and wind energy, both onshore and offshore. The results of this data collection and the progress of the country when switching to renewable energies are crucial to combat the devastating effects of climate change such as the die of species, such as ZDF
