联合国预计极端天气将增加

2011-11-20来源:CCTV9

U.N. scientists are predicting that an increase in heat waves is almost certain this century, along with a greater frequency of natural disasters across the globe as the Earth’s climate warms.
联合国的科学家预测,由于地球气候变暖,本世纪的热浪肯定会增加,全球自然灾害会更加频繁。

The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has released a new report in Uganda’s capital Kam-pala, urging countries to come up with disaster management plans to adapt to the growing risk of extreme weather events linked to human-induced climate change. The report allows for variables based on future greenhouse gas emission scenarios, but concludes that extreme weather is likely to increase. The report also says tropical cyclones are likely to become less frequent, but the ones that do form are expected to be even more destructive.
联合国政府间气候变化问题小组(IPCC)在乌干达首都坎帕拉发布了一份新报告,敦促各国想出灾害控制计划来应对与人为引起的气候变化相关的极端气候的不断增加风险。该报告考虑到以未来温室气体排放为基础的可变因素,但是得出的结论是极端气候可能会增加。报告还指出,热带气旋可能没有那么频繁,但是可能形成的极端天气预计会更有破坏性。
