What would be the consequences of climate changes in Europe?

[Terry]

there are many factors which are to be affected in the result of climate change, but the most important is the man's health, especially it concerns the aged with high blood pressure

Do you know any EU organisation that is taking care about ecology and maybe a special one that is looking to find solution foir the climate change? thx

[Terry]

there are a lot of them, personally I heard something like European Society for Ecological Economics (ESEE). the title can suggest you what they are engaged in

Acid rains, tornados, earthquakes, landslides... - inevitable

[Terry]

The warming will cause disease-carrying mosquitoes and ticks to travel further north, so we are now at more risk of diseases like malaria.

Yes, this is a real apocalypse now!

[M.Helen]

Heat waves are associated with significant excess mortality, especially it concerns the old.

[Benn]

did you know there is a programme fighting climate change:

Since Europe is becoming hotter and hotter year after year, the Europeans' tendency to have holidays on Atlantic/Pacific Islands decreases. Europeans simply visit the Southern European countries like Greece, Portugal, Italy, Turkey.

[M.Helen]

So the climate warming is in some way an advantage for southern European countries. That's interesting.

The current weather disasters is not an equivalent to any advantage for any number of countries.

[Benn]

If the weather in Africa gets cooler, I would say it's a big advantage for them. Africa will have a fructuous land, true - not soon.

[Karl.in.eu]

We shall not forget that the weather changes, but from an extreme to extreme, making crops to be of no value.

[Terry]

yes, you are right Karl
crops need thousands of years to adjust themselves to a new climate.

You can now imagine what mutants we'll have plated on our front yard in some 200 years

no, believe me, it's much closer than we think. Simply compare the human possibilities 30 years ago to what we can do now. It's totally another world.

I agree with you but for the last 5 years very little new and practical came in use to regular people for our day to day activates.

[M.Helen]

Actually the world tends to become more ecological. This is because the humanity has already felt the negative impact of climate change. The earlier we take actions, the less our children will have to fight for surviving.

Agree with you Helen. I'm really glad you realize the danger. Unfortunately many of us are so indifferent, saying "Ah, I don't care, I won't reach those times", but let's start caring about the planet and our grand children.

this year in the beginning of February something unpredictable happened in Eastern Europe. Snowfall and frost covered Turkey and Bulgaria, while the neighbour countries situated in the North part were invaded with temperatures by (average) 5-6 degrees higher than the normal temperature for the season

[Benn]

there is a danger of late frosts - if the temperature rises and then quickly falls. It may cause big losses to agriculturists.

Indeed, especially thse refers to fruit trees: apples, peaches, cheries. These trees are also called "easy-to-fool trees", since they bloom when the first spring light appears.
