No more snow?

are bitterly cold winter in Germany in the past: "winter with heavy frost and much snow as it was twenty years there will be no longer in our latitudes," said the scientist Mojib Latif of the Hamburg Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology.

"The influence of man are the temperatures rise with us with a probability of 95 percent or more," says Latif. Because of this so-called greenhouse effect, it will continue in central and northern Europe more West winds. This would in turn rainy and milder winters have resulted.

A connection between the warming and the increasingly frequent river floods in Germany as well as enhanced strong storm surges along the North Sea coast was not detected. But there were calculations of scientists identify a certain tendency in this direction. "Germany will be strengthened under the influence of Iceland-lows, in the Mediterranean on the other hand Azores high impact reinforced ", predicts the weatherman.

In southern Europe this means more droughts

." A week-long water shortage like last summer in Mallorca could be used to rule, "fears Latif.

Always follow richer tropical cyclones, the expert does not lead back to global warming." The fact that hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones more and more people are killed and over higher property are to be deplored, is mainly because that in between Florida and Bangladesh, more and more people at risk . Resettle areas, "Latif

About half of the greenhouse effect is measured on emissions of climate-relevant trace gases "like carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 comes mainly from burning fossil fuels like coal and crude oil in the atmosphere." About 15 percent of CO2 emissions produced by the burning of tropical rain forests, "said Latif.

The Kyoto Protocol, the industrialized nations had in 1997 to a CO2 reduction agreed by five to seven percent. "No later than mid-century should be a reduction of 50 percent to be achieved," hopes the meteorologist. draw up international agreement on emissions reduction positive repercussions, but should still take some time. "We expect a delay of 30 years, the current greenhouse effect was caused in the early seventies," said the scientist.

The situation was not hopeless, however. Latif: "Computer models of the Max-Planck-Institute show that the climate is yet to stabilize at an acceptable level."
