Climate change is bringing new southern species to Åland. In 2012, a fly was found that had previously been known only in England, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. [56] According to climate change projections, the crucial changes in temperature will occur during the winter where the predicted warming until 2040 is 1.2-5 °C.
Finland is a member of the EU and thus the EU directives are binding in Finland. Finland has approved Kyoto protocol. Finland has at the state level approved that human-induced greenhouse gases cause global warming. Despite this, the most harmful use of peat as energy has been financially promoted by the Finnish government since 2005.
Climate change has far reaching impacts on the natural environment and people of Finland. Finland was among the top five greenhouse gas emitters in 2001, on a per capita basis. [28] Emissions increased to 58.8 million tonnes in 2016. [29] Finland needs to triple its current cuts to emissions in order to be carbon neutral by 2035. [30]
The Climate Change Act, revised in July 2022, mandates neutrality by 2035 and sets goals for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions: 60% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 90-95% by 2050, excluding Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF). Finland's approach includes nuclear energy, more renewables for electricity and heat, improved energy ...
The Philippines faced six back to back typhoons in just 23 days last month, an unprecedented onslaught of storms that scientists say were fueled by unusually hot oceans and higher air humidity ...
Northern parts of Finland have summer temperatures in the 8 °C (46 °F) to 16 °C (61 °F) range, while further south, the temperature is closer to 13 °C (55 °F) and 23 °C (73 °F). [ 9 ] [ 10 ] During summer in Greenland , ice sheets breaking up trigger what is known as " glacial motion " or "glacial earthquakes".
Finland differs from most industrialized countries in that many of its energy needs stem from the Nordic conditions. Finland is located between 60 and 70 degrees northern latitude and a quarter of its area lies north of the Arctic Circle. In fact, one third of all people living north of the 60th parallel are Finns.
The Philippines is going all in for electricity made via climate-damaging combustion, with almost two dozen power stations planned and the ambition to become a gas hub for the entire Asia Pacific ...
