Occur abnormal Climate Phenomenon due to Global Warming

- The climate crisis is getting worse -

Heavy rain and typhoon have caused damage, and the hot sun is causing more and more hard times. The fluctuating and extremely changing weather are damaging to people. The reason for these phenomena can be attributed to abnormal climate phenomena caused by global warming.

Problems are occurring all over the world due to the abnormal climate. According to CNN and other foreign media, a state of emergency was declared due to 330mm of heavy rain in the southeastern United States. The flood is considered the first flood in 200 years.

At the end of last month, the Pearl River flooded the city of Jackson, Mississippi, USA due to heavy rain. The city of Jackson suffered a major disruption in the drinking water supply due to heavy rains, but water pressure has now recovered to normal levels in most areas.

More than 1,100 people, including children, have been killed in floods in Pakistan for three months since June, and more than hundred homes have been damaged. Three months of flooding has affected about a third of Pakistan's total area.

Heavy rains that hit the world are the result of global warming. With the greenhouse gas layer film thickened, the heated atmosphere sucked in more water vapor, which led to heavy rain. If the temperature rises by 1 degree, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere will also increase by 7%.

Damage caused by heavy rains also occurred in Korea. The record-breaking heavy rain damaged Seoul and other parts of the country. The heavy rain caused a lot of economic damage and resulted in several casualties.

The typhoon Hinamno is also said to have become more powerful due to global warming. Weather experts believe that the reason for the increase in power is due to the abnormal climate caused by global warming.

This phenomenon occurred because the sea water temperature in the path of the typhoon is 1~2 degrees higher than normal due to the influence of ‘La Niña’, which has been going on for three years.

La Niña is a phenomenon in which the water temperature in the eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator is usually lowered. However, when La Niña appears, the water temperature in the Northwest Pacific in summer rises again. This is because warm water from the tropical Pacific flows into the Korean Peninsula due to the strong influence of the trade winds. At the time when Hinamno stayed and increased his power, the sea surface temperature in the sea also had a high temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius.

Due to global warming, many natural disasters such as heat waves, heavy rains, and typhoons are occurring. These natural disasters are getting more serious due to the climate changes caused by global warming.

To prevent the climate crisis, we must recognize its seriousness and make efforts to prevent it. If we do not stop the climate crisis, we will face stronger heat waves, heavy rains and typhoons. We should urgently start acting to protect the environment.
