In the last two decades, Europeans were adapted to low temperatures compared to extreme heat. “This is the process that we invite in adaptation sciences,” said one of the authors of the publication on this topic, Zao Shen.
A team of researchers in Barcelona Weather statistics have been analyzed in more than 800 provinces in 35-2020 in 35-2020 in 35-2020. It turned out that the risk of death with the lowest temperatures at an average of 2 percent per year at the highest temperatures only 1 percent.
– Over the years, we treat the cold better and better. This is the process we are calling in science. Although in the condition of the hot weather you can see the adaptation symptoms, this progress is less than the authors of the Zhao. This article is scheduled on April 9 in the Lancet “Customer” in “Health”.
Heavy temperature
Unlike the previous study based on the permanent temperature temperatures, he and his group take into account the locality. They presented the concept of “heavy temperatures”, ie one death reaches the region. As a result, they can improve the realimate climate effect on the health of various European plots. Using such a method showed that during the period under review, the number of days with dangerous temperatures decreased by 2.07 days per year. In turn, the number of days has grown up to 0.28 days a year. However, it did not happen in all regions of Europe. In the southern part of the plot – Despite the warmer climate – the more days of which dangerous days were recorded with their death. These differences, for scientists, not only by socio-economic factors, such as socio-economic amuses, low levels of health care or limited access to social support. – Our results showed that although comparing to adapt to the cold, shorten the death of a total of heat – the major authorship of the study. He also noted that 20 countries have been provided with monitoring monitoring systems to be 17 years of monitoring the heating waves.
Global warming
There is a lot of air pollution standards
Research team also analyzed how many times the day was adapted with an extreme temperature with an increase in severe aircraft. She estimated the cycles when there is a dangerous temperature and high level of pollution, 60% worried. days with heat and 65 percent days with cold. And although the total number of such events decreases, except for episodes with a high level of ointment (O3) – their number is 0.26 days a year. As described by the authors of the study, it is worth-up of high school pollution that arise around the atmosphere around the atmosphere. The confection of high temperatures and high concentrations in the health of the population is growing.
