Global Warming, A Big Deal?

Watch this video and we can tell you that we are not kidding about climate changes.

Scientific background:
Italians know what it means to suffer from impacts of climate change. The human cost of the 2003 heatwave was higher in Italy than in any other EU country. According to government figures, 20,000 people died. Almost 2,000 forest fires were reported during that summer, and drought-related agricultural damage cost around €5 billion. In 2005 the country has experienced another heatwave, as well as severe droughts. Temperatures have nudged 40ºC in parts of the country, with the Government warning that around one million people are at serious health risk. Italy has generally become drier, with the number of rainy days falling by about 14 per cent since 1996. But the drop in the number of rainy days was accompanied by a rise in intensity of rainfall, meaning more heavy rainstorms. It is predicted that Italy will be one of the EU countries worst affected by future global warming, with overall rainfall levels shrinking still further, and many more prolonged and intense heatwaves.It seems that the Mediterranean Sea is also heating up rapidly: a recent study found that sea temperatures around Italy rose by almost 4ºC between 1985 and 2003. Sea levels are expected to rise by between 20 and 30cm by 2100, which threatens around 4,500 square kilometers of costal plains.
