Masser af observationer inden for det seneste år har indikeret, at klimaforandringerne går hurtigere end forventet og forudsagt af FN’s klimapanel.
Nu sætter WWF tal på den bekymrende udvikling i en ny rapport. Læs nyhedshistorien på Telegraph.co.uk eller hent selv rapporten her.
Uddrag fra Telegraph.co.uk:
The findings include:
Global sea level rise could more than double from the IPCC’s estimate of 0.59m by the end of the century.
Natural carbon sinks, such as forests and oceans, are losing their ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere faster than expected.
Rising temperatures have already led to a major reduction in food crops resulting in losses of 40m tonnes of grain per year.
Marine ecosystems in the North and Baltic Sea are being exposed to the warmest temperatures measured since records began.
The number and intensity of extreme cyclones over the UK and North Sea are projected to increase, leading to increased wind speeds and storm-related losses over Western and Central Europe.
