芝加哥大學(University of Chicago)研究人員今(23)日表示,今年「超級聖嬰現象」(Super-El Niño)所引發的極端高溫,可能會在全球範圍導致多達45萬1000例超額死亡。

《路透》報導,芝加哥大學「氣候影響實驗室」(Climate Impact Lab)在報告中指出,與正常年份相比,「超級聖嬰年」的極端高溫天數預計會增加44%,導致某些國家接下來6個月將出現大量超額死亡案例。

「氣候影響實驗室」說明,預估非洲國家奈及利亞在今年9月到2027年2月期間將錄得3萬1400例的超額死亡,為受創最嚴重的國家,其次是印尼的1萬9300例與蘇丹的1萬7600例。

報告內還提及,非洲薩赫勒地區(Sahel)在這6個月期間預計將因高溫發生6萬6800例超額死亡,另外菲律賓、越南、泰國與柬埔寨合計也將增加1萬9400例超額死亡。

「氣候影響實驗室」點出,如果聖嬰現象持續到2027年,那超額死亡案例數估計也會增加,尤其是印度與巴基斯坦,這兩個國家在北半球夏季時「特別脆弱」。

「氣候影響實驗室」也形容,今年的超級聖嬰是「來自未來的明信片」,估計這種高溫在未來幾十年後將成為常態。

The coast of Crescent Bay in Zhubei is severely eroded, retreating 15 meters a year. Experts call for a return to professionalism

Coastal erosion in Crescent Bay, Zhubei, Hsinchu County is serious, shrinking by 15 meters in the past year, far exceeding last year's average of 2.81 meters. Former Minister of the Interior Li Hongyuan and Ocean University Assistant Professor Qiu Yujia pointed out that the lack of overall planning for the construction of concrete Internet celebrity attractions has led to imbalances in the coastline and aggravated wave hollowing, and called on the government to use professional engineering sand cultivation to slow down wave energy, rather than political myths. Hsinchu County Mayor candidate Xu Xinying concluded by emphasizing the need for long-term sand cultivation projects to preserve the beach landscape and ecology.
