While the temperatures in Central Europe are becoming more and more summery this week, Siberia suffers from significantly too high temperatures. Already the last winter was the warmest winter in history since the beginning of the weather record of 130 years and now temperatures of well over 30 ° C are measured there, 12 ° C would be common in the area around Verkhoyansk.
This shows in particular how strong the global climate is already in a process of change. The thawing of the permafrost soils, which is associated with the high temperatures, is particularly problematic here, as a result of which enormous amounts of CO2 and methane gas escape into the atmosphere, which also increases climate change.
A little less CO2 is currently being released into the earth’s atmosphere due to the currently lower demand for crude oil. Despite lower production and increasing inventories, the price of the Brent variety rose three US dollars last week and is now well above the USD 40 mark again.
The prices for CO2 emission allowances in Europe also rose further in the past trading week and reached the pre-corona crash level with more than 24 euros.
In the new trading week, 11.6 million EUA will be auctioned at Leipzig’s EEX in just four days, significantly less than in the coming week, where 17.8 million certificates are on offer, including 810,500 pollution rights for the aviation industry.
