Climate change threatens to
Australia's two cities Sydney and Melbourne can often face hot days up to 50 degrees C in 25 years, even if the world meets the targets set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement - preventing global temperatures by the end. This century increased no more than 1.5-2 o C compared to the level of pre-industrial era.
This is the result of the study published by the Australian National University (ANU) on October 4. According to ABC News, climate scientist Sophie Lewis, who chaired the project, warned other areas across Australia should also prepare for future extreme heat.
Australia has just experienced the hottest winter in the context of long-term warming trends that have contributed to climate change.

Data of Meteorology Department in September 2017 showed that during the period of June-August this year, the maximum daytime temperature is 1.9 o C higher than the long-term average of the country (21.8 o C).
Lewis urged authorities to consider dealing with the above-mentioned bad scenario, such as how to bring children to school in the hot days up to 50 ° C, how the hospital would manage if the number of hospitalized people was sunny. hot rising .
Climate change may also increase the number of serious air turbulence incidents in the period 2050-2080.
Specifically, according to researchers at the University of Reading (UK), the number of disturbances of this type when aircraft at an altitude of nearly 12,000 m will increase 181% in the North Atlantic sky; 161% above Europe; 113% on North America; 92% above the North Pacific and 64% above Asia.
The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Agency (CASA) describes a serious air turbulence that occurs due to big and unexpected changes in altitude (relative to the direction of the aircraft) and the speed of the aircraft. .
During a violent disturbance, the aircraft "may temporarily lose control" . Researcher Luke Storer stressed that turbulence is often not a serious threat to flights but still injures hundreds of passengers and attendants each year.
