Rains that are almost biblical, heat waves that don’t end - there’s been a change in the weather lately. What’s going
on?
Extreme weather is an unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the
wrong time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing such extreme
weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio de Janeiro in 24 hours,
Nashville, USA, had 33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed, burying hundreds
of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other parts of the world suffer devastating
droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat
waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer, 35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
Peter Miller, a National Geographic columnist, says what is happening to our weather is probably a mixture of
numerous factors. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are natural cycles in the climate.
Two of the most famous weather cycles, EI Nino and La Nina, originate in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the
warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects weather all around the world. On the other hand, the
temperature of the Earth’s oceans is slowly but steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are
producing greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and
oceans. Warmer oceans produce more water vapour - think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the
heat, it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has gone up by
four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and typhoons that we are
increasingly experiencing.
Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that we need to face the reality of climate change. And we also need to
act now to save lives and money in the future.
