Conclusões do Relatório do IPCC sobre as alterações climáticas
O resumo sobre as alterações climáticas pode ser consultado aqui http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/syr/ar4_syr_spm.pdf
Na Europa do Sul esperam-se problemas com a disponibilidade de água: secas mais prolongadas, fogos florestais, perda de produtividade agrícola...
São cenários conservadores baseados no que se sabe hoje, a ciência possível.
Europe
• Climate change is expected to magnify regional differences in Europe’s natural resources and assets. Negative
impacts will include increased risk of inland flash floods, and more frequent coastal flooding and increased erosion
(due to storminess and sea-level rise);
• Mountainous areas will face glacier retreat, reduced snow cover and winter tourism, and extensive species losses (in
some areas up to 60% under high emissions scenarios by 2080);
• In Southern Europe, climate change is projected to worsen conditions (high temperatures and drought) in a region
already vulnerable to climate variability, and to reduce water availability, hydropower potential, summer tourism
and, in general, crop productivity;
• Climate change is also projected to increase the health risks due to heat-waves, and the frequency of wildfires.
