Have you noticed that the occurrence of extreme weather seems to be increasing? According to the First Financial Report, on the 30th local time, the Indian Meteorological Department predicted that the temperature in northern and western parts of India could reach as high as 50 degrees Celsius in May, adversely affecting crops and industrial activities. This reading has been close to the highest level in India in 122 years. . The Indian Meteorological Department said the maximum temperature reached 43-46 degrees Celsius in most of India on April 28. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) believes it is too early to attribute extreme heat to climate change alone. However, for India, the high temperature has caused a sharp increase in power consumption, which in turn drives coal demand. On April 28, the peak demand for electricity in India reached a record 204.6 GW. Indian Railways has cancelled 753 passenger train services to make room for coal shipments during the power crisis, reports said. It is worth mentioning that a study published in the journal “Nature” not long ago also pointed out that scientists found that climate warming has increased the risk factor of virus cross-species transmission. That is to say, in the context of global warming, some viruses that were previously only transmitted between certain organisms may expand to other species (including humans). .
