Cut emissions to build ecological civilization

By Chao Qingchen | China Daily | Updated: 2019-07-23 08:46

Heat waves across many European countries and extreme weather events such as hurricanes, heavy rainfall and floods caused by climate change have raised the concerns of environmentalists and ordinary people alike.

Intensive research and studies show that compared with the pre-industrialization period, the average global temperature between 2006 and 2015 was higher by 0.86 Celsius, and in 2018 it increased to 1.0 C. Worse, the period from 2014 to 2018 was the warmest five years in recorded history.

The rate of global warming is different in different regions and seasons. For example, temperature is rising faster on land than in the oceans, regions at higher altitude are heating faster than places at lower altitude, and temperature rise is higher in winter than in summer.
