WMO warns El Nino will intensify as Europe faces extreme weather
Urban areas are hotter than forests. EU’s Copernicus satellites recorded a difference of about 23°C on land surfaces in the most affected areas of Europe during last week’s heatwave. We’re committed to planting 3 billion trees by 2030 and promoting sustainable living through the European Bauhaus.
trees need water to grow. here in northern Italy trees 60 years old are dying because year after year the rainfall levels are too low.
The graph shows that areas covered in concrete, metal and asphalt are hotter than those covered by plants and water no matter their location
It’s good that some action is being taken, but it’s still too little, although hopefully not too late… I find it scary how quickly the climate seems to be changing… we need a quicker switch to renewable energy sources. As consumers we also need to consume less in general. For future generations.
It's a shame the Commission isn't showing political leadership in the implementation of the Nature Restoration Regulation, which has clear targets to increase urban tree cover.
Great initiative, large scale plantation of trees certainly supports the environment. Perhaps this initiative will be a seed for other urban tree-plantation initiatives.
Breaking News! Code Yikes! The June Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly came in at 1.59°C above the 1991-2020 baseline, so we're already in a strong El Nino. The latest CFSv2 model runs now show the Nino 3.4 SST anomaly forecast peaking at 4.10°C in November.
and so few realize what this means: Doctor: You got 101°F a fever. Patient: And? What does that mean? Dr: Survivable. P: So good news? D: We expect it to become 107. P: So, still survivable? D: Not really.
Thanks to the supreme court earth is OVER. Plan accordingly.
What's winter going to be like in W. Europe this year with the el Nino? Any ideas to get prepared?
Europe's brutal heatwave wreaks havoc: Roads & traffic lights melt, schools shut, rail tracks buckle | Watch (Europe needs to use products that we in Canada use, this does not happen here during our heatwaves) www.cnbctv18.com/world/europe...
We need to punish ecocide.
When I was a kid living in Alsask,Saskatchewan,it used to get brutally hot in summer!! The crack and line filler the road crews used to patch always melted in the heat! Cactus grew. Small ground types and but some about a ft high.
Lived in the UK for a few years and was surprised to discover they'd grit their roads in the summer, not the winter. This 👆 is why
The smell of Tar in the summer
We do not have European level heat waves here, in intensity/ duration.
Everything has a melting point
