Climate change will raise the temperature of six degrees Spain
Spain to bear between 3 and 6 degrees maximum temperature with respect to the reference values for 1961-1990 in 60 years, in particular for the period 2071-2100, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). For minimum temperature, however, the increase is between 2 º C and 5 º C. Balearic Islands, especially in peak values, as a result of the dampening effect of the oceans, you will experience temperatures below those of other autonomous communities.
The report has been submitted by the Secretary of State for Climate Change, Teresa Ribera, and AEMET president, Ricardo Garcia Herrera. This is the second phase of renovation of regionalized scenarios using new data from global models that form the basis of the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) adopted in Valencia in 2007.
Sevilla will be Tucson
“If temperatures grow up to six degrees, our grandchildren will live to the climate of Seville will be similar to Tucson (Arizona, USA), is a desert,” Madrid could become the climate of Seville and Pamplona in Madrid ” García Herrera has detailed.
Bank stressed that it is not a projection “irremediable” but “information for action.” Spain will be one of the countries of Europe “more sensitive” about being in the Mediterranean. The best way to fight global warming, advises the secretary, is to reduce greenhouse emissions.
Precipitation projections show a greater dispersion of results. However, even during the first half of the century there is no significant trend in precipitation of mainland Spain, it will be a reduction of the same in the second half of this century. For the last decade of the century, the average rainfall of Peninsular Spain could be in a range between 15% and 30% compared to precipitation for the period 1961-1990.
