The temperature of 32C killing the UK this week is 100 times more likely due to human-causing climate change, warning by scientists.
A fast study by the world Season Atribution (WWA) Research Group Found Current heatwave in southeast of England There was about 10 times more likely without human activity without heating the planet.
Dr. Freddy Otto, from Imperial College LondonUnderlined the severity, warned that the heatwaves are “silent killers” and the effects of heat are severely reduced “ Leave Britain for conditions expected to remain over the weekend.
Experts highlighted that older people suffer the highest risk of death, with people suffering from conditions such as respiratory diseases, and diabetes.
He also said that earlier heatwaves are especially fatal, Since the population is less to compete with hot conditions.
Researchers also identified the wildfire as “emerging risk” for the UK during summer, in which the circumstances found in the southern rapidly Europe,
He urged the public to take excessive caution with barbecue, cigarettes and glass, which can all ignite the fire in hot, dry weather.
This study is only the second time when WWA is known for rapid assessment of the role of climate change in specific extreme weather events, analyzing an forecast incident rather than already occurring.
Analysis, which was attracted to the comments for the early heat heat in the southeast of the UK, found that A Hatwave – Defined as three days of temperature above 28C for this region – In June today, it will be expected once every five years.
Since the study, it suggests that without heating the atmosphere to about 1.3C without humans, such heatwave would have happened only once almost once.
The heatwave was made more faster than 2-4C as a result of the overall warming of the planet, which means the current season “does not just heatwave without human-inspired warming”, from Dr. Ben Clarke,, Imperial College LondonSaid.
On Saturday, 32C was estimated to hit the southeast and had already reached that level on Thursday. London,
Researchers said that the current climate may be expected to have that level of heat once in June 25 in 25 years, but once in June before industrialization, only 2,500 years in June, the researchers said.
While the effects of temperature rising above 30C are not as serious as record-brakeing heat 40C topping at some places in July 2022, researchers warned that people were still at risk.
He urged people to ensure that they were drinking enough water, and to encourage elderly relatives to do so, avoid areas with high air pollution, keep windows and curtains closed during the day, and consider coolering museums such as museums to protect against heat.
Dr. Clarke, researcher in Center for Environmental Policy Imperial College LondonSaid: “This heatwave is another reminder that our planet has already heated to a dangerous level.
“We are at 1.3 C today, but are going for about 3C of this century.
“With every fraction of a degree of warming, the UK Hotter will experience the more dangerous heatwave.
“This means death due to excess heat, more pressure NHSMore transport disruption, hard work conditions and poor air quality. ,
Associate Professor in Climate Science in Center for Environmental Policy. Otto said: “We know exactly what this heatwave has done-oil, gas and coal, which loaded the atmosphere with planetary heating greenhouse gases.
“It is completely crazy that we have political leaders in Britain who are trying to pull us back into the past with calls for more fossil fuels.
“Climate will continue to increase the rapidly dangerous heatweaves, fire and floods in the UK until the emissions are reduced to pure zero globally.”
He said that when people working in air -conditioned offices “probably recover” this week, poor people are working outside, returning home to kitchen or other warm environment and then in poorly untouched flats, which will fulfill the warm conditions.
“To make our societies more equal is necessary to reduce the effects of climate change,” Dr. Otto said.
