Thirty years later, heat waves are commonplace.
In France, which was hit by a record heat wave this summer, the French Institute has compiled a simulation that, if global warming progresses, the same severe heat will become commonplace in the summer 30 years from now.
The National Center for Scientific Research in France announced the latest simulations that predicted how global warming will progress in the capital city of Paris on the 17th.
According to it, in the worst case of continuing to use fossil fuels without taking measures, the global average temperature will rise by a maximum of 7 degrees at the end of this century compared to before the industrial revolution.
This is two times higher than the prediction of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on the IPCC = Climate Change published five years ago.
Also, even if measures are taken, if it is not enough, the rise in temperature will not stop, like the heat wave of this summer when the maximum temperature exceeded 40 degrees in Paris or the heat wave of 2003 when nearly 20,000 people died He points out that the harsh heat is common in the summer of 2050.
The researcher who conducted the simulation said that the generation of heat waves could not be suppressed immediately. “In France, heat waves like 2003 and Kotoshi will increase over the next few decades. I have to adapt. "
Global warming simulations are being conducted in various countries, including Japan, and the results will be reflected in the IPCC report that will be released next year.
