Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
The year 2017 is one of the three hottest, ever recorded years on global sight. The Copernicus Climate Change Services (C3S) of the European Centre of mid-term weather-forecast (EZMW) declared the pas year to the second warmest since the beginning of the records. The global temperature is now already 1.2°C above the pre-industrial level.
At the US-American east coast, the winter is currently so hard, as one could see it many years ago, the snowfall goes as far as Florida. Climate change denier, like US-President Donald Trump, see this as an evidence, that there is no climate change. But the total opposite is the case. Because of double speed of warming in the arctic region as in the warm and temperate zones, the temperature difference between Arctic and Equator is getting lower. That leads inevitably to a reduction of the speed of the Jetstream, what makes the barrier more pervious for the very cold arctic air masses to the North of Europe, Asia or North America.
That climate change is also visible on financial sight, is shown by the newest numbers of the insurance business: natural disasters as hurricanes and floodings caused 2017 a global record amount of 135 billion US-Dollar for the insurance companies.
In the first trading week of the new year, the European carbon emission allowances became weaker and closed 25 Cent below the eight-Euro-level.
