Greenhouse gas surge tied to deadly floods

Greenhouse gases pouring into the atmosphere have got all the instruments scientists use to monitor climate change flashing red.

Greenhouse gas surge tied to deadly floods

Die impak sal op verskeie vlakke gevoel word, insluitend menslike gesondheid, spesiesverlies, uiterste weergebeurtenisse (soos die onlangse Oos-Kaap oorstromings wat 100 mense gedood het) en katastrofiese brande, soos die 2017 Knysna brande.

Dit is volgens Future Climate IQ se stigter, Peter du Toit, wat 'n ontnugterende aanbieding gelewer het oor die stand van die klimaat by die Garden Route Environmental Forum Climate Change and Environmental Management Indaba by die Nelson Mandela Universiteit se George Kampus op Vrydag 27 Junie. Hy het gesê die ophoping van oormatige hoeveelhede metaan, stikstofoksied en swaelheksafluoried in die atmosfeer was hoofsaaklik 'n gevolg van die manier waarop ons elektrisiteit produseer (deur fossiele te verbrand) en rondbeweeg in ons motors.

Du Toit het, met verwysing na stygende oseaan temperature, gesê die oseane het sedert die 1990's "begin kook". "Dit is die frase wat ek sal gebruik as ek oor die oseane praat. Die enorme hoeveelheid energie wat in die oseaan ingaan, is net absoluut verbysterend. Dit is 'n baie ernstige situasie, aangesien die oseane 'n dramatiese impak op die globale klimaat het," het hy gesê.
