Scientists predict an increase in the temperature of the Earth to a record level in the next five years.
Director of the Climate and Politics Research Center at the University of Blyal, Professor Levent Kurnaz told Anadolu that the Earth’s temperature in the next five years will beat the record indicators of 2016, which went down in history as the “most hot year”.
Kurnaz recalled that according to the report of the World Meteorological Organization (VMO), the so-called El-Nigno phenomenon, that is, an abnormal increase in the temperature of the surface layer of water in the central and eastern zones of the Pacific Ocean, will lead to warming the Earth temperature to the record level.
According to him, the air temperature rises annually due to emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during coal, oil and natural gas.
The El-Nigno phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean will lead to a record increase in the temperature of the earth’s surface in the coming years, he said.
“El-Nigno’s phenomenon” is preceded by another natural phenomenon-La-Nigno, which was observed for three years. This makes an increase in temperature to a record level in the coming years. An increase in air temperature will also create a large problem for our country and South Asia, where the temperature has already reached a dangerous level. VMO predicts that from 2023 to 2027 the average annual surface temperature will be 1.1-1.8 degrees higher than in 1850-1900. This will create serious risks, in particular for Agrarian sector, ”he said.
Kurnaz recalled that in 2016, under the influence of El-Nigno, the air temperature reached a historical record. “According to VMO in 2023-2027, the 2016 temperature record will be beaten. This means that in subsequent years we will observe a constant increase in temperature,” he said.
The scientist emphasized that within the framework of the Prague Agreement, long -term goals were defined to limit a temperature growth of up to 1.5 degrees.
The professor also noted that warming at the North Pole is quite strong compared to the rest of the earth. The temperature increase in the next five years will be three times higher than on the rest of the planet.
