Antilles - Guyana: climate barometers!

0

Next Wednesday, May 10, Canal + will broadcast a report on the consequences of climate change in the Antilles-Guyana. The scientific community is sounding the alarm! 

Guyana, Martinique and Guadeloupe are home to the gems of global biodiversity. However, it, the main victim of climate change, sees its ecosystems upset. The scientific community is sounding the alarm: the environmental balance is in danger. This threat takes various forms. While in Guyana, the Amazon forest has so far been in a remarkable state of conservation, the hot weather tends to slow the growth of trees. In Guadeloupe, the rise in sea level and the increasing acidity of the water are gradually destroying the seabed. In 35 years, 80 to 85% of the reefs have been destroyed.

Finally, in Martinique, according to Météo-France and according to IPCC experts, while an extreme cyclonic phenomenon affects the island every four years, this phenomenon should worsen. _AF
