Facts about Climate Emergency

UK has announced a climate necessity and not enough is being done about it. Here are some climate change facts you need to get knowledge in 2019:
1. Our summers and winters keep getting warmer
According to the 2018 report, since 2006 the UK experienced the hottest summer. A scientific study into last year’s data showed that such heat waves are now 30 times more likely getting warmer due to climate change.
Just because of this San Francisco, British Columbia and Delhi all reported all-time record June temperatures this year, recommending heat waves are beginning a new in the Northern Hemisphere this summer.
2. Indonesia will move to its capital city
Sea levels are growing at the fastest rate in 3,000 years, an average three milli metres per year. The two major causes of sea level rise are thermal extension– the ocean is getting warm and warmer water expands its way and melting of glaciers and ice sheets that increases the flow of water.
3. Average wildlife populations have discarded by 60 per cent in just over 40 years
According to the biennial living planet report published by the zoological society of London and the WWF it is announced that the average size of mammals, fish, birds and reptiles are populations declined by 60 per cent between 1970 and 2014, That doesn't mean that total animal populations have declined by 60 per cent, withal, as the report correlate the relative decline of different animal populations.
4. There’s more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere than any time in human history
In May, sensors at the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii – which has tracked Earth’s atmospheric concentration of CO2 since the late 1950s, detected a CO2 concentration of 415.26 ppm. The last time Earth's atmosphere accommodate this much CO2 was more than three million years ago, when sea levels were definite metres higher and trees grew at the South Pole. Researchers have warned that carbon dioxide levels higher than 450ppm are likely to lock in catastrophic and inevitable changes in the climate. Around half of the CO2 transmit since 1750 has been in the last 40 years.
