When the world focuses on the new crown epidemic, a large part of Siberia is experiencing abnormal high temperature.A few days ago, Russia's Russia in the Arctic Circle was as high as 38 degrees Celsius.

Siberia has some of the coldest places in the world.But a few days ago, Verkhoyansk's temperature in Russia was as high as 38 degrees Celsius.This is the local mdash; mdash; it is likely to be the high temperature of the entire Arctic circle mdash; mdash; record.However, what makes this wave even more shocking is that it is not a one -time incident.

When the world focuses on the health and economic crisis caused by the popularity of new coronary viruses, a large part of Siberia is experiencing abnormal high temperature.In May, the surface temperature of some places in some places in this vast Russian region was 10 degrees Celsius higher than the average temperature.The consequences of the moment are obvious: the snow and ice accelerate the melting, the large area of wild fire occurs earlier, and the permanent frozen layer melts.

What happened in Siberia is important to other parts of the world.If the temperature is higher than the average level elsewhere, the above temperature ensures that the hottest May since May 2020 and May 2016 are tied as the hottest May since the record.This wave of heat waves in Siberia also has another shocking impact: the melting of the permanent frozen layer releases a large amount of carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere, and it is likely to accelerate global warming.

Governments of various countries have taken unprecedented measures to respond to the emergency situation of COVID-19, that is, 2019 coronary virus disease).As they begin to rebuild the economy, they should seize the opportunity and take the same big action on climate change.If the new crowd is popular, it explains that it explains the danger of ignoring the warning of experts.Emergency situations may be mdash; mdash; and indeed mdash; mdash; it will happen.The decline in carbon dioxide emissions caused by economic blockade is likely to be short -lived.It is not enough to achieve the main goal of the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015: maintaining a global warming below 2 degrees Celsius.

Coping climate change is a global efforts, but there are few evidences for all countries to adopt any collaborative operations.What is worrying is that both China and the United States' pollution countries will not be able to curb their emissions.In the United States, Donald Bull; President Donald Trump's government is preparing to officially withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement in November.What is even more worrying is that China has shown signs that the need to stimulate the economy is greater than the desire to use more low -carbon energy.China is approving the fastest speed of the new coal -fired power plant installed capacity plan for the fastest speed since 2015.Europe is proven to be an exception.The EUROPEAN Commission puts a climate plan at its core of 1.85 trillion euros' economic recovery.

The problem is that only one green Europe will not be enough to deal with climate change.In the world's emissions, only 9%of more than 9%come from Europe, and Chinese emissions account for more than 24%.In view of the fact that curbing climate change is important, the arduousness of challenges should not be a factor in aggressive action.There are some optimistic space.The scale of energy transformation of large oil companies MDASH; mdash; British Petroleum (BP) is the latest example of mdash; mdash; proves the progress of the wind and waves of climate debate.

There is also evidence that investing in climate change does not necessarily need to sacrifice sustainable economic growth.A recent analysis of the recent joint analysis by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has imagined a large -scale investment in the fields of clean energy and making new investment in the fields of electric vehicles.Once the plan will cost $ 1 trillion each year, 9 million employment opportunities will be created each year, and the annual greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 4.5 billion tons.

Policy makers should not ignore these warning signals mdash; mdash; or opportunities.The decision made today will not only determine the future of Siberia, but also determine the future of other parts of the world.
