Towards a warmer spring and summer 2022/23

Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas, although methane and nitrous oxide, much more powerful greenhouse gases, are also causing global warming.

Other causes of global warming that cause Earth’s temperature to rise are: increase exponential of population, destruction of marine ecosystems, devastation of terrestrial ecosystems. Among them is the clearing of forests or the destruction of natural habitats.

As temperatures rise, so does humanity’s spirit to deal with climate change. Global temperatures have risen 0.76ºC us last hundred years. Currently, heating is 1.1 degreesthere is very little left to reach the 1.5 degrees estimated in the Paris Agreement.

In Argentina, after registering the fifth coldest autumn in the last 62 years, and an early winter that followed at the same pace, temperatures moderated and projections for the coming months indicate that they will go for a sharp increase above normal.

During Septemberit is likely that negative thermal anomalies still remain in northern Argentina, and Firstly, the continental provinces in the center of the country and the provinces of eastern Patagonia respond positively.probably as a result of a higher frequency of northerly channeled winds.

As the months go by, we will observe how the positive temperature anomalies also extend to northern Argentinaand especially for December are visibly intensified.

This isn’t something that hasn’t been experienced in recent years. Just remember the December 2013 historic heat wave, the most persistent, as there are systematic records. or much more recent the first half of hot January lived in Argentina in 2022, breaking more than 75 temperature records in 19 cities across the country, having recorded its hottest night in history, according to National Weather Service records.

These first trends for what will be the end of 2022 are a inevitable sign of attention. They should be taken with caution, but knowing that the context helps make this scenario quite likelywith average temperatures above normal and heat waves that can begin to materialize as early as late spring or early summer.

Thanks to anthropogenic climate change, the risk of forest fires increases as the planet’s temperature rises,

The hot, dry conditions that are conducive to wildfires are increasing with climate change, increasing the risk of large wildfires, making landscapes more susceptible to fires with greater frequency and severity. The impacts of climate change on fire risk are predicted to increase in the future, with each additional degree bringing with it a greater risk.

The relationship between fire propensity (past, present and future) plus a variety of controls over fire activity, including climate, but also human activity, land use and productivity change in vegetation, have an impact. significant in the ignition and spread of forest fires.

Wildfires can have enormous harmful impacts on society, the economy, human health and livelihoods, biodiversity and carbon storage. These impacts are generally magnified in the case of forest fires.

Currently, the Wetlands Law is being discussed in the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation… There is talk about the forest fires that are occurring in the Delta – Province of Santa Fe and Province of Buenos Aires, but nobody talks about the forest fires that also at the same time they are being produced in the Calilegua National Park – Jujuy Province, where thousands of hectares are being burned. On September 13, 2022, Governor Gerardo Morales had anticipated that “the fire would continue for several more weeks” in statements to the newspaper El Tribuno de Jujuy, or of the fires that occur and cause in any other region of the country.

The Wetlands Law is being resisted by some Argentine provinces, such as the Province of Santa Fé, as the Rural Society of Rosario says “Today the projects being discussed in the Congress cover a large percentage of the country’s wetlands and this alarms us greatly because some of the projects generate extreme prohibitions”, said President Soledad Aramendi and assured that “the fires are being caused because they want a law that publicly looks very good”. prohibition, it is through good planning” and from the Province of Corrientes it is argued that “we are very concerned because if it is sanctioned, as it is, for Corrientes and its production it could become very harmful and affect the property right of many producers” , assured the president of the Chamber of Deputies of Corrientes, Pedro Cassani.

The point is that ONE should stop doing cheap “little things” and stop looking at the short-term navel and promote a Wetlands Law that promotes ENVIRONMENTAL STATE POLICIES at the national, provincial and municipal levels… of the hurricane.

As an environmental professional, I understood that the nature of fires is changing, and it’s changing very fast. There are a number of factors involved and we must take all of them into account.
