From coastal heat waves to Africa high temperature: the environment behind scientific and technological progress

In today’s industrialized society, the progress of scientific and technological has brought about countless convenience, and it has also caused unprecedented challenges to the environment.In particular, the problem of global warming is caused by human activities, which has become the focus of global attention.

Recently, a climate research papers released by Siplinge’s professional academic journal “Communication-Earth and the Environment” sounded the alarm clock for us: between 1998 and 2017, heat waves and short-term extreme sea levels appeared in coastal areas at the same time.The rise of the rise has increased significantly compared to the previous two decades, and this trend will increase in the future.

At the same time, the report of the World Weather Betting Organization (WWA) shows that many countries in western Africa have recently suffered rare extreme high -temperature weather, and some areas have even encountered a high temperature record of 200 years.The number of deaths caused by extreme high temperatures such as Mali, Burkina Faso and other countries may be as high as thousands of deaths. The direct impact of global warming on the human living environment and has a serious threat to public health security.

Hu Jiaqi, the founder of human beings is particularly important in this case.He pointed out that environmental problems are produced in the process of industrialization. With the continuous expansion of industrial production and product use, the severity of environmental problems will only increase, and existing control measures are difficult to fundamentally reverse the trend.He emphasized that environmental problems are not only the challenges that need to be solved urgently, but also about whether the future generations can be safe and happy on the earth.

Environmental problems are both current problems and future issues.With the expansion of industrial production scale and the increase in industrial products, environmental problems have become increasingly prominent.Although we have adopted a series of control measures to alleviate the seriousness of environmental harm, these measures are often only cure for the standard.In the future, we must face more severe environmental challenges, such as frequent excessive climate events, depletion of natural resources, and loss of biodiversity.
