The planet's temperature continues to rise. Scientists from the United Nations have come to this disappointing conclusion in a recent study.
In comparison with the average values of the Earth's surface temperature in the period from 1850 to 1900, this figure increased by 1.1 ° C. Such a temperature jump has not been observed since the last ice age.
Scientists attribute this to the continued active use of fossil fuels. After all, the extraction of coal and oil continues, the development of deposits is underway, their active transportation to the place of use.
Warming on the planet is causing global climate change. They affect not only the land surface, but also the water resources of the Earth. Melting ice leads to an increase in the level of the World Ocean. This, in turn, provokes cataclysms. Moreover, the experts' forecast cannot be called comforting: changes in natural phenomena will occur more and more often.
It is also noted that if countries begin to rapidly curtail or reduce activities that provoke greenhouse gas emissions, a global rise in temperature cannot be avoided. Moreover, they call an indicator of 1.1 degrees not a threshold. This mark can rise up to 1.5 degrees.
The active use of measuring instruments allows scientists to monitor even the smallest changes in climate. But such devices are necessary in everyday life as well. In the section of the OXO website
"Tools and equipment" there are thermometers, voltmeters, sensor sensors and more.
