OCEANS ARE THE KITCHENS WHERE OUR WEATHER IS PREPARED
Our weather is influenced by the increased heat and water-
The world's oceans cover 71% of the earth surface and are about 4 km deep on average.
This represents a tremendous reservoir of heat.
Since first measurements in 1969 the top 700 meter warmed up approximate 0,5 degrees Celsius.
The number of record temperature events and extreme weather phenomena is increasing. Rising temperatures and air pollution are intimately connected in both directions.
Higher temperatures are worsening storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts.
- As our warming atmosphere holds more water vapour the weather phenomena become more intense.
- Resulting in a increasing number of droughts, intense storms, and floods, that poses risks to public health, food production and overall our future.
- Rising temperatures and air pollution are intimately connected in both directions. Urban Heat Islands arise combined with smog an soot made up of combustion gases, tiny particles of chemicals, soil, smoke, dust, or allergens.
- The Atmospheric brown cloud, a layer of air pollution containing aerosols such as soot or dust that absorb as well as scatter incoming solar radiation, and posing risks to human health and food security.
Higher temperatures are worsening storms, heat waves, floods, and droughts.
