  • Extreme weather events are becoming more intense and more frequent.12,13 (IPCC 2007)
  • Some of 2010’s major disaster events:
    • Russian heat wave and fires. The summer 2010 heat wave as well as the polluted air from the forest fires caused fatalities in Moscow to double to a total of 700 people per day. 14,15 (Russian Academy of Sciences) City officials of Moscow, Russia reported a 60% increase in the mortality rate this past summer, when nearly 11,000 of the city’s inhabitants perished due to the effects of excessive smog and record high temperatures. 16
    • Pakistani floods. Massive floods, the worst in nation’s history, result in about 2,000 fatalities, more than 20 million injured or homeless. One‐fifth of country was underwater.17
    • Chinese landslides. Nationwide floods and landslides leave over 3,100 killed and over 1,000 missing in 2010 alone. Floods across China increased sevenfold since the 1950s. 18
    • Brazil was also struck by extreme heavy floods in April and June 2010 with hundreds of fatalities each time.19
    • Poland suffered her worst flooding in decades in May 2010.20
    • Forest fires raged in Portugal in summer 2010, spurred on by low humidity levels, strong winds, and temperatures reaching record highs of 40 degrees Celsius.21
    • In Chad and Nigeria in 2010, drought then floods that wiped out the small amounts of food crops left after the drought.22
    • Extreme cold and snow storms in 2010 in India, Northern Europe, North America, and South America
    • A lot of earthquakes and volcano activity in 2010 disrupted Indonesia, Iceland, Turkey, Chile, Haiti, etc.
    • Global warming can cause ice-capped volcanoes like Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull to more easily erupt due to the ice loss causing a release of pressure on the hot rocks beneath the Earth’s surface. 23(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2010)
    • Landslides and avalanches in high mountains have increased over the past decade due to global warming. Volcanoes are increasingly at risk of collapse with mega-landslides that could bury cities. 24 (David Pyle, a volcanologist at the University of Oxford, Bill McGuire of University College London and Rachel Lowe at the University of Exeter, UK)
    • Glacial lake outburst floods are increasing as lakes from glacial melt grow in number and size. 25(International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Kathmandu, 2010)
