Climate change and human actions are causing the imminent rise in global average temperatures. The Paris Agreement and the scientific community set as a maximum limit a concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere of 400 ppm to prevent temperatures from rising above two degrees.
Today, as revealed by the professor of Ecology and director of the Department of Environmental Sciences of the University of Castilla-La Mancha, José Manuel Moreno, at the 13th National Congress of the Environment (CONAMA), the global average temperature has already increased 1,31 degrees, which is very concerning.
This data confirms the forecast advanced by NASA that says that this year the increase in average temperatures of the planet could be greater than one degree. This is not a surprise today, as global warming the average temperature has been increasing in recent decades. Every decade is hotter than the last.
Moreno has emphasized that it is necessary to analyze the proportional relationship between greenhouse gas emissions that accumulate in the atmosphere with the increase in global temperatures. In this way, he has described the adaptation of actions that may go against the consequences of climate change and has dubbed them "urgent", because we have less and less time to reach the irreversible maximum threshold of two degrees.
Moreno believes that although the threats of climate change are important, they can be combated by taking appropriate action against them. To illustrate your argument remember the heat wave that France suffered in 2003 in which 6.000 people died, while in the one that occurred three years later, in 2006 "only 2.000 died, which indicates that some of its effects can be alleviated."
Whatever the consequences of climate change, it is clear that we must act on it as soon as possible to decide the future of our generations.
