Meteorologists warn: the climatic crisis changes the global water cycle

Atmospheric warming leads to more intense precipitation and, as a result, to destructive floods. Meteorologists warn: the climatic crisis changes the global water cycle The climate and the environment is water is the source of life on Earth, but today it is increasingly causing natural disasters. According to the report of the UN World Meteorological Organization (VMO) published on Thursday, climatic changes increase the pressure on the planet water resources, provoking disasters affecting millions of people around the world. ~ 60 > year of record heat and destructive floods ~ 60 > last year became the hottest over 175 years of observation: the average surface temperature exceeded the pre -industrial level by 1.55 degrees Celsius. & Amp; nbsp; temperature Anomaly & nbsp; directly & nbsp; affects & nbsp; on & nbsp; water & nbsp; cycle: & nbsp; t Free & nbsp; air & nbsp; holds & nbsp; more & nbsp; moisture, & nbsp; which & nbsp; Curses & nbsp; k & nbsp; more & nbsp; intense & nbsp; precipitation & nbsp; and, & nbsp; ka to & nbsp; investigation, & nbsp; k & nbsp; destructive & nbsp; floods. “Water disasters continue to inflict serious damage this year,” said Saulo, Secretary General of VMO SELEST. – Flows in Pakistan, South Sudan and deadly rain on the island of Bali are only part of an alarming picture. Unfortunately, the end of this trend is not visible. ” storm Boris and“ centenary ”floods ~ 60 > in September 2024 the central and eastern Europe suffered from a powerful storm Boris, which caused sudden floods, which caused sudden floods And the evacuation of tens of thousands of people. In the Czech Republic, the water level in the rivers reached values, which, according to statistics, happen once every hundred years. As Stefan Ulenbrook notes, the director of the hydrological department of VMO, such events of the “centenary” become more and more frequent. drought in the Amazon 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62The instability of the water cycle is manifested in other regions. In India this year, Musson came earlier than usual, causing storm in the states of Himala-Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. At the same time, in the Amazon basin, in the north-west of Mexico and in South Africa there was a strong drought, aggravated by the El-Nino phenomenon. 60 > “El-Nino, of course, he played a role, but the scientific data show that it was the change in the climates and the increase in temperature Extreme phenomena are both drought and floods, ”Saulo explained. melting glaciers: global threat 60 > one of the most alarming trends on the planet is the rapid disappearance of the glaciers. In 2024, they lost 450 ice gigatons – a volume equivalent to 180 million Olympic basins. This added 1.2 mm to the level of the oceans, increasing the risk of flooding of the coastal territories. everything is interconnected: from the Arctic to Asia ~ 60 > in the report it is emphasized that the water cycle is a closed closed. Global system. ~ 60 > “We are not dealing with local problems,” Sulagon Mishra, a researcher at VMO SULAGEN. – the melting of glaciers in the Arctic affects the monsoons in Asia, and hurricanes in the Pacific Ocean – on weather changes around the world. ” 60 > against the backdrop of a global climatic shift, the World Meteorological Organization calls for urgent measures: improved monitoring, exchange of data on water streams, soil moisture and its quality, as well as to international cooperation and urgent investment in early warning systems. 62 ~
