A study released today by CONAMA on global warming in Chile expected to increase up to four degrees warmer in the country by the end of the century.
executive director of the agency, Ana Lya Uriarte, this morning presented the results of the study "Climate variability in the Chilean territory in the XXI century" instructed the department of geophysics and mathematics from the University of Chile in 2005.
In this study two variables: temperature and rainfall, which is projected in two possible scenarios, one moderate and one severe.
For temperatures, it was established that they are going to increase anyway around the country. In a moderate position, they would do between 1 and 3 degrees, while in the most extreme case, they would do between 2 and 4 degrees.
large area north, north and Andean boy, are the places where they will present the highest growth temperature.
Regarding precipitation, which will increase in spring and summer in the great north, taking extreme the phenomenon known as Bolivian winter.
increase in the small north rainfall in winter in central decrease in summer and autumn and in the south will decrease in summer as in the southern area. Meanwhile, at the southern end, it will precipitate more throughout the year. How
Chile faces the phenomenon
Given these results, the director of CONAMA explained that "we are making a plan of action" to see how Chile will face these changes. But he said that many government agencies must analyze in order to see what action to take in the various regions of the country.
However, he clarified that still is early to tell what the effects are going to see in each of the regions. "
added that "in the late observe the greatest differences (in temperature) of the study" so that "we must adapt to this new reality which we live."
Despite this, the environmental authority said that this report needs to be addressed with rigor and clarity. According
Uriarte, "the theme of climate change has been in our country for a long time" with initiatives like the ratification of the climate change convention in 1994, the creation of the advisory committee on the subject, developing a national strategy Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol ratification. "We have over 10 years working on the issue of climate change and its relationship with Chile (so) we are today as a country with strict technical information available "to address the issue, said the director of CONAMA.
