The background of the weather conditions

The current weather phenomena are also part of a larger image that should not be ignored. A report of the World ClimateAts (IPCC) from 2021 so that the earth has never been shown so quickly was heated up and the extreme weather events increase. It is therefore all the more important to listen to the warnings of the scientists and take measures in good time.

Another point that needs to be observed is the influence of humans on the climate. The main cause of climate change is human activities, such as the increase in greenhouse gas concentration. Forecasts indicate an increase in extreme weather events, such as heavy rain and heat waves that will appear more and more. This development can also be seen in the devastating floods in Germany in July 2021, in which over 180 people lost their lives.
