The climate change committee, which was established to give advice to the government u.K., said the level of global warming that was unavoidable would cause power outages, too expensive and dangerous at home, and damage to nature, plants and food supplies. It is said that the government must act urgently to ensure that Britain is prepared.
In the 140-page report – released, by chance, on what is expected to be the hottest day of the year in the UK – said the committee in recent years “the gap between the level of risk we face and the level of adaptation has widened.”
It was said by the government’s promise to cut carbon emissions to warm planet to zero net in 2050 – by embracing renewable energy, reducing pollution, planting trees and other steps – will not address the effects of climate change that has already taken place.
“We will fail at zero zero and we will fail to improve the overall environment if we do not take into account the upcoming climate change in 2050,” said Chief Executive Committee Chris Stark. “Our preparation does not compensate for the extent to which the risks we face in this country.”
The report said the average temperature in U.K. It has increased 1.2 degrees Celsius since the mid-19th century and will increase by 0.5% another even with ambitious actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions. It was said that in 2050, England would see dry summers, more dried and wetter winter, with sea level rose 10 to 30 centimeters (4 to 12 inches) higher than in 1981-2000.
The Committee said the conservative government failed to act on the recommendations conducted five years ago to strengthen the power system against storm and flooding, improve water efficiency and restore peatlands, which absorb a large number of carbon from the atmosphere.
“There are a very significant additional element of unavoidable changes that will continue and we need to adapt to protect people, nature and economics in U.K.,” Julia King said, who delivered adaptation in the sub-committee. “Our message to the government is this must be a priority.”
The government said he would welcome the report and will “consider his recommendation carefully.”
England will accommodate COP26, the main international climate change conference, in Glasgow in November.
