Expiring 2019 turned out to be one of the hottest in history
In the past 2019, we published a lot of news about fires burning on our planet. They really had a lot, because in addition to our Siberian forests in the world burned many us States and . Perhaps many people are not even aware of the extent of past fires, so the European space Agency shared a video, where the destructive power of fire is visible most clearly. The video lasts only fifteen minutes, but it clearly shows how some areas of our planet burned almost all of the last 12 months, and other then calmed down, then burned again.
About the published video and the opinions of scientists about the earth's fires told the publication . the power of the fires and their duration was taken from the satellites launched in 2014 in the framework of the space programme "Copernicus". These devices are even now engaged in the tracking of climate change by shooting the surface of our planet and studying its atmosphere.
How to burn our planet?
After Watching the video just a thought — our planet is burning. According to the head of the program "Copernicus" Brand Parrington, the outgoing year was very stressful. During the year he and his colleagues closely monitored the intensity of the fires and resulting air pollution and I noticed the fires in places where they should not occur. This discovery was a big surprise.
For Example, in the early years, they watched the fires in California that left behind miles of scorched earth and destroyed plants. The fire could cause so much damage that the damaged areas of our planet was visible even from space. In addition to trees, also damaged hundreds of buildings, in which lived and worked the people.
Fire California forests penetrated even in the city
The amazing thing is that the video can be seen wildfires near the Arctic. This is proof that the gradual warming of the air affects the state of cold regions of the Earth. According to calculations of scientists, in 2019 in the Northern hemisphere have been more than 100 fires that not only destroy plants and buildings, but also emit into the atmosphere carbon dioxide. Because of him the Earth's temperature continues to rise, and that means fires could be increased.
The dirty air harms people?
The Smoke from forest fires also harms people. More recently, ecologists have found that the level of risk air in the Australian city of Sydney has increased from normal values 12 times. But scientists have repeatedly noted the consequences of air pollution in big cities. For example, researchers from Denmark recently discovered that pollution annually , and scientists from the U.S. state of Colorado reported on the relationship between air quality and .
In General, looking at the whole picture, you can really say that our planet is burning. And fires no longer occur in Europe and South Africa, and from fire to suffer the Northern regions. This is clear signs of climate change that we all talk so much.
