DR’s Jesper Theilgaard præsenterer en vejrudsigt for 2. juli 2050, der lover betydeligt varmere og mere ekstremt vejr. Vejrudsigten er en del af en serie for forskellige lande, der er bygget på forudsigelser fra FN’s klimapanel.

If humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, the average temperature of the Earth’s lower atmosphere could rise more than four degree Celsius by the end of the 21st century.

But what does a global average temperature rise really mean? How would we experience it on a daily basis?

To find out what could lie in store, the WMO invited television weather presenters from around the world to imagine a “weather report from the year 2050.”

What they created are only possible scenarios, of course, and not true forecasts. Nevertheless, they are based on the most up-to-date climate science, and they paint a compelling picture of what life could be like on a warmer planet.

These worst-case futures do not need to happen. WMO is launching these videos during the month of September to support the UN Secretary-General’s call for world leaders from government, finance, business, and civil society to support ambitious action on climate change at the UN Climate Summit on 23 September.
