Sydney could die of heat in the summer of 2060

According to information brought to public attention by the press agency Reuters, the year 2060 could be meant as a black Australian city to Sydney. Due to global warming and smog, the summer of stated could be a hot, polluted and deadly.

On Tuesday, March 24, held Greenhouse 2009 conference, with the major theme of climate change. In the latter, Martin Cope, a researcher at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), drew attention to increasing temperatures during the summer, a phenomenon caused by global warming, but the smog and drought. The effects will be felt faster the older population, but also those persons who suffer from asthma or heart disease. The investigator has explained that the number of persons hospitalized with respiratory problems are will triple.

"There will be more hot days and nights and an aging population. It is certainly something that we want to plan ahead ', said Cope. He added that to change these predictions in the right direction, Australians need to understand that life and the industry must change and be based on the reduction of carbon. Researchers have used to study computer models, by which were made weather forecasts, thus testing the effects of average temperature increase of 1 to 4 degrees Celsius.

Thus, the number of days in which temperatures would pass 30 degrees Celsius would increase by 20%, but the days with extreme temperatures, ie over 40 degrees Celsius, would increase by 100%. Results show that this increase in temperatures will lead to increased pollution of air, sand storms and fire.

Cope stressed that the most toxic emissions are dependent on temperature, because with things as heat, are issued with both becoming more gas liquids. The conclusion of researchers and the message is clear: the need to act against pollution! The first step recommended by Cole would reduce carbon beneficial measure to reduce air pollution.
