India's highest temperature this year is 52.3 °C, and some experts say that China will become India in 60 years.
57 scientists around the world issued a call: "Energy conservation and emission reduction are urgent!" ”
How hot is India exactly
As global warming becomes more severe, more hot regions around the world have emerged, and India has experienced unprecedented high temperatures this year.
According to relevant media reports, on May 31, 2024, about 19 people died in India due to high temperatures in the country. For most, "hot death" is often an adjective, but in India, it has become a reality that can happen at any time.
Such hot weather is not limited to a few regions in India, according to relevant information in India, throughout May, there are about 17 regions in India with maximum temperatures exceeding 45 °C.
According to the calculation of the local meteorological department of India, on the 29th, New Delhi, India, observed the highest temperature in the country of 52.3 °C, which is almost a rare high temperature in the world, and it is the hottest weather that India has faced in recent years.
It should be noted that even in the relatively high mountainous areas of India, the high temperature has reached more than 40 degrees.
Unfortunately, May coincides with India's domestic elections, and in order to ensure that the election is held normally, most voters in India must participate in voting in the open air. Due to the hot weather for several days, people continued to faint throughout the election campaign.
According India to a survey of United States Yale professors, about 75% of respondents in India country are plagued by floods, 85% of respondents suffer from drought every year, and 20% of respondents are considering moving their homes to avoid extreme heat.
The heat of the weather shocked the people of most countries, and in July this year, a scholar on the mainland published an article saying that the future China is likely to become the India it is today.
So, what exactly is the reason for such a view?
China will "heat up into India"
According to the report released by the National Climate Center at the beginning of 2024, the average temperature of the whole country in 2023 will be 10.7 degrees, which is higher than the previous level and even reached the highest temperature level since the 60s.
More intuitively, as climate change continues to be intense, the highest and lowest temperatures in the country have once again set new records.
According to research by international climate expert Fitzpatrick, the climate in all regions of the world is now moving closer to the equator, and at today's rate, in about 60 years, cities in the northern hemisphere will become cities in the southern hemisphere.
Beijing, for example, was once a typical northern city that had little to no heat problems a few decades ago, but now the overall temperature has begun to rise gradually.
Studies have shown that around 2080, the northern city of Beijing will see a significant increase in temperature, with summer temperatures increasing by about 5.3°C and humidity increasing by more than 26.7%.
More intuitively, even cold winters can see a rise in temperature, which is about 5.9°C.
According to this speculation, it is likely that Beijing in the future will no longer be a typical northern city, but will be more similar to the climate conditions in Henan today.
Since the climate in the north has begun to move closer to that of some central regions today, this naturally means that the cities in the southern part of the mainland will be even hotter today.
In the same article, experts suggest that in the future, the coastal city of Shenzhen could warm by 3.6°C in summer and about 4.4°C in winter.
Maybe just saying that the effect of the data is not too intuitive, but if you take out the comparison object, you can intuitively feel the terrible temperature of this temperature.
After the warming of Shenzhen, it is about the average of some parts of northern India today, that is, if the climate does not improve, in 60 years, some southern parts of the mainland are likely to be really hot enough to become India today.
With such terrible temperatures simply appalling, what should we do in the future about predictable changes in climate conditions?
China's climate governance actions
In order to improve the global climate in the future, the entire international community has begun to have a heated discussion on energy conservation and emission reduction. In April 2023, the United Nations Committee on Climate Affairs released a special report, hoping to call on countries around the world to take action to reduce carbon emissions.
According to a study by the University of Leeds United Kingdom, most of the world's excess carbon emissions currently come from developed countries such as United States, and it is based on this position that the study proposes the idea that developed countries should pay compensation to low-carbon emission countries to ensure that they can cope with climate change.
As a responsible major country, China attaches great importance to the major task of energy conservation and emission reduction, and has responded to the call of the world organization with practical actions.
In recent years, the average annual growth value of the mainland's domestic environmental protection industry has been more than 10%, and clean energy power generation such as water, light and wind ranks first in the world.
From the perspective of the development of emerging industries, the mainland currently vigorously supports the development of clean energy industry, the most outstanding of which is the mainland's new energy vehicles.
Since the development of the mainland's new energy vehicle industry, it has occupied the world's first position for 8 consecutive years, and the mainland's new energy vehicles have also quickly occupied the clean energy vehicle market in other countries.
In mainland China, many advanced technologies have been used to develop both ecology and economy, and photovoltaic power generation in Xinjiang is a profound embodiment of this theme.
In addition to the industrial aspect, the mainland is also actively involved in various climate plans proposed by the United Nations. At present, the mainland is actively participating in South-South cooperation on climate change, and has implemented more than 200 foreign aid projects to address climate change.
As far as China is concerned, this is not only a practical action for the country to participate in the governance of global climate, but also a selfless dedication of China to other countries as a responsible and responsible major country.
The development of economy and science and technology has always had the characteristics of two sides of the same coin, and with the continuous development of the times, the original appearance of nature will be further affected.
Just like our country, as a member of the entire planet, everyone should be clear about their responsibilities and responsibilities and participate in the process of climate governance.
I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, climate governance will eventually show results in the near future.
