In addition to the epidemic, a more far-reaching and protracted crisis for mankind is quietly sweeping the world. Extreme weather occurs frequently, and large-scale and rare natural disasters such as rainstorms, floods, mountain fires, and earthquakes occur frequently all over the world.
Since the beginning of summer this year, global warming has led to high-temperature warnings in many parts of the world. According to the monitoring of the National Climate Center, since June this year (as of July 12), the average number of high-temperature days in China has reached 5.3 days, the highest in the same period since 1961. The highest temperature at 71 national weather stations has broken through the historical limit.
Especially in the south, Guangdong has issued 144 high-temperature warning signals in a row, and the temperature in Shenzhen exceeded 40 ℃ for the first time in July. Heat stroke caused by high temperatures has also killed many outdoor workers.
Coincidentally, Britain recorded the hottest temperature in history in July, with the temperature reaching more than 40 degrees Celsius. The fire caused by high temperature surged, which brought great pressure to local fire fighting and even made Britain issue the first extreme high-temperature emergency in history.
In France, the high-temperature weather broke more than 100 historical high-temperature records in France, and the hot and dry weather created conditions for mountain fires. The fire raged, burning houses, vehicles, and many construction facilities, forcing thousands of people to evacuate. The temperature in India has soared to about 45 degrees Celsius.
According to the latest climate report issued by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), there is a 93% chance that at least one year from 2022 to 2026 will become the hottest year on record. This prolonged high temperature is constantly breaking the limit of global temperature. “
Extreme weather frequently occurs. Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
With the global temperature rising, the extreme climate of La Nina occurs frequently. WMO Secretary-General Talas said: that the temperature rise means more melting ice, higher sea level, more heat waves, and other extreme weather, and has a greater impact on food security, health, environment, and sustainable development.
Then, is the appearance of natural disasters related to human activities?
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) stresses that all natural climate events now occur in the context of human-induced climate change. Human-induced climate change increases global temperature, exacerbates extreme weather and climate, and affects seasonal rainfall and temperature patterns.
In its sixth climate assessment report last year, the IPCC pointed out that human activities should be responsible for frequent extreme weather events.
For the human society that has experienced the industrialization process for hundreds of years, the carbon emission and pollution behaviors accompanying the rapid development are like a symbiotic relationship.
High temperature makes people urgently looking for a more convenient cooling method, and air conditioning has become the most direct cooling method. But it also means more power consumption and increased carbon emissions.
When human beings become the initiators of this vicious circle, they can only swallow this demon fruit planted by themselves.
Carbon neutralization is, a self-rescue action to protect our homes!
The deterioration of the global environment has prompted the government to put forward higher requirements on environmental governance and has also stimulated the sound and long-term business awareness of enterprises. Chinese enterprises continue to incorporate ESG considerations into their development, and continue to create and release values in society, economy, and environment to achieve sustainable development goals.
Under the background of the double carbon policy, environmental protection and sustainable development have become the decisive factors in the changing environment. A self-rescue operation to protect the homeland is starting.
Global carbon neutrality is the only way to go under the background of climate warming and the inevitable choice for sustainable development of the earth. Achieving the double carbon goal will be the first time in human history to realize the energy revolution and industrial transformation of cross-border and global cooperation.
We are at the turning point of the energy industry and the development of the times, especially under the goal of carbon neutrality. In the future, energy production, storage, and consumption will undergo important changes. This is of great significance and importance to the country, enterprises, and people.
Together, our company will continue to promote the concept of sustainable green development, promote green transformation, and build an enterprise benchmark.
