The colorful sky in many places around the world is the result of climate change

According to reports, the United States ushered in high temperature weather in many places. On July 19, local time, local US power grid operators stated that with the continuous high temperature weather, the electricity consumption in Texas and other states in central the United States is expected to be in the next few days. Break the historical record. At the same time, many European countries are also facing extreme high -temperature weather, and the highest temperature in many countries has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius.

The World Meteorological Organization warns that global extreme high temperature weather will become more and more common in the future, and this situation may last until 2060. A spokesman for the World Meteorological Organization said on the 19th that according to the model forecast, this round of high temperature weather in Europe will continue until next week, and it is likely to encounter a new round of high temperature in the short term.

Also with extreme weather is the "colorful" sky around the world. It is reported that the impact of climate change on human beings is slow, but the "weird" sky color is like a very eye -catching signal, which prompts humans to take necessary measures to deal with the climate crisis and "re -turn the color of the sky."

It is reported that compared with various scientific reports or model data, changes in the color of the sky may more intuitively stimulate people's determination to deal with climate crisis.

The colorful sky is the result of climate change

According to reports, the sky itself will not glow, and the color of the sky in human eyes is actually the gas molecules in the atmosphere scattered the sunlight into our eyes. The blue light wavelength is short and it is easier to scatter, so in the eyes of human beings, the sky looks blue.

And other "weird" colors appear in the sky, which is actually caused by other climate reasons. For example, in July 2022, a rare green sky appeared in South Dakota, USA. Meteorologists said that it often showed the arrival of a thunderstorm, and the generation of this color was also related to the refraction of light in thunderstorms. The National Meteorological Administration added that a large amount of water is needed in the clouds to produce green, which usually means that a large number of hail will be reduced in the future.

In September 2020, the sky of San Francisco became orange, causing people to be uneasy. Local air quality officials explained that this is because under strong winds and high temperatures, the mountain fire swept the United States in many places, and the mountain fire smoke particles in the air scattered the blue light. It's orange.

In May 2018, the sky in Dubai became gray -white, because the strong sandstorm attacked Dubai, and the sand in the air was diffused, so that the whole city looked gray.

The report pointed out that the color that humans first paid attention to and naming were the most important colors for human survival. For example, warm colors such as red or yellow are generally used as indicating slogans, indicating where there is food and danger. The color matching of the blue sky and green trees, etc., has become a normal phenomenon in human subconsciousness. To some extent, it means that humans will not pay more attention to this.

Because of this, when the weird weather color of "dramatic" appears, it will make people "creepy" and make humans feel climate change intuitively. It is reported that the changes in gasification have actually lasted for nearly a half century, but because of the previous impact on humans, it is easy to be ignored. Human beings may even wait until the "collapse edge" to realize climate change.

You can really feel the real existence of climate change when you see it

The report pointed out that humans need a strong visual impact to realize the real existence of danger. The Kajoka River in Ohio was one of the most polluted rivers in the United States. Tim, who worked at a factory next to the river, described the river "covering oil, floating mouse corpses, and bubbles like boiling water". It is a very polluted river. However, the local people seem to be "default" to this, because the pollution of river water means the prosperity of the local industrial economy, which means that everyone has a job.

However, in 1969, the river suddenly became angry, and the fire was extinguished after about thirty minutes. It is said that this is not the first time in this river. The fire on the day of the incident did not cause people to reflect on river pollution and not notice. But shortly after, an American media introduced pictures of "Kahoga River" in articles about the fire. This highly visual impact picture quickly caused a stir. In 1970, the United States established the National Environmental Protection Agency to supervise environmental pollution.

It is reported that this eye -catching fire also promoted the passage of the United States Clean Water Act in 1972. The author of the history of history Loring said that since then, the country seems to have realized that industrial pollution has become a reality, and historian Richard Richard called "this is a fire with a special significance."

The report pointed out that many countries in the world, especially underdeveloped countries, are very anxious about climate change, because they can truly feel the impact of climate change, and can see the "evidence" of climate change more clearly.According to a survey of the Pew Research Center, only some people in the United States believe that responding to climate change should be the primary task. Nearly half of Americans think that humans have a small impact on climate change. Some people even think that humans do not need to be responsible for global climate change at all.EssenceTherefore, the report pointed out that the "terrible and weird" sky color will be a very "eye -catching" signal, which prompts humans to take necessary measures to deal with climate crisis and "re -turn the color of the sky."Sichuan Observation (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
