Meteorologist Doctor Mario PicazoBorn in Colorado, once the weather on Spanish television.
He is an assistant professor at the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and the Faculty of Geography at the University of California in California, Los -Angels, and will disclose the lecture, “Climate change: evidence, impact and innovation”On the forum in Palma June 10.
It suggests that constantly relevant attention paid to such record temperatures and Drooughhts is a recognition of a combination of factors. “We have a technology that allows the exam Data passField
“Certificate of climate change is simply a measurement. We measure, compare and see the climate that you have changed. Climatologists use 30-year periods as a link. We used to be told: “You use data from 1970 to 2000.” Now we also include the data of this century, current data that no longer cause so much doubt. A wave of denial You appeared. I do not understand why there are so many impulses to deny. I see the scientific Hage gaps in their arguments. And science is what should prevail, first of all. “
Those dealing with negators on social networks, he says that he was always polite. “The networks are completely different. The majority that I use is Linkedin, where I publish, argue and can speak. Received threats of deathThe field if the sumon offends, they must be removed. But if this is a sumon, who intends to discuss, I share links to the Artles, which explain the moment under consideration. Not all of us are experts in everyday life, and that is why it is costly to refer to experts. “
Negators in politics are more famous, nothing more than Donald TrumpThe field “Solutions similar to those that Trump made in the USA are a big problem; This is one of the most polluting countries and one that has the greatest ability to give an example. The problem is that thus, which can change the situation, the import considers enough.
“There are two keywords: softening and adaptation. The key is now adaptation, because softening does not occur in the necessary packaging. We are already experiencing experience. Storm and floods in ValenciaFor example, situations can be repeated. People will adapt to extreme heat waves, floods, more powerful hurricanes, but we can try to prevent them so often.
“As for energy, we need alternatives. Society increasingly wants more, and it is difficult to say Subone: “This is not your turn.” This is the same old problem, but now this is an urgent need. The next 20 or 30 years There will be a different difficulty: we will not have the necessary adaptation, but we will have Concene.
“Spain is an individual vulnerable country, and the Mediterranean region is even more. You noticed this in Majorca: Increasingly hot and tropical summer. There were precipitation, such as Valencia or Mallorca, seven years ago. We are moving towards desertification With soil degradation. The Mediterranean is a sea that heats most in the world. The heat is already one of the main Causes of death associated with extreme weather, and it will become more and more common. It is also very serious for Spain, the economy largely depends on tourismThe field has months that can be lost from the calendar. We are vulnerable, and the influence on agriculture will also be huge.
“There are solutions. We know that necessarily tangible: Energy transformationLeave the Blackut debate, renewable energy can be a fundamental solution. All that is reduced is key emissions. There are alternatives that seem to be science fiction: geo -industrialism, capturing CO2 from the atmosphere. You will grow in the coming decades. Even nuclear energy begins to have alternatives, such as thorium instead of uranium. We must also look for alternatives to renewable sources that do not require 15 years to realize or not so expensive. “
