Earth ups the heat, and the floods are increasing, the victims are increasing
According to the research team of the Potsdam Institute, over the next 20 years, flood disasters will intensify and intensify. . Hundreds of millions of people around the world who live in the lowlands will face greater challenges. The rise of rainfall is due to the increase in temperatures around our planet.It is easy to understand that when the earth becomes hot, the steam of the ocean will become more and more cloudy clouds, causing more storm and rain. Rainfall is very low during this time, and will result in floods, landslides, dams, etc.. The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research concludes that the situation will threaten millions of people worldwide.In Asia, there are currently about 70 million people at risk of floods that will rise to 156 million. The most vulnerable countries in the world are China, India and Indonesia, which are the most populous in Asia.In South America, the number of victims will increase by 2 times, equivalent to 12 million. In Africa, people affected by floods will rise from 25 million to 34 million over the next 20 years.The report also notes that the estimated number of victims is probably lower than in fact, in conclusion, it does not take into account the increase of the population to 20 years and does not consider the increase in the number of people living in vulnerable areas of flooded waters.
For Europe and the North American continent, although not facing this challenge, it is necessary to consider spending money to invest in improving irrigation systems. For example, the United States must improve its water traffic management system and at least half of its stockpiles over the next 20 years to be ready for rainfall.It is noteworthy that although the flood disaster is not generally understood to be as extreme as the typhoon, the reality is that floods have caused serious consequences and caused serious human suffering. In 2017 the floods in Peru have claimed 67 lives. In Southeast Asia, we are 2017, the worst year. Flooding caused by Monsoon killed around 1,400 people.
