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 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. CO 2 emissions from peat were 15% and coal and peat 39% of total fossil fuel emissions in Finland in 2006.
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 scientific community has been investigating the causes of climate change for decades. After thousands of studies, it came to a consensus , where it is "unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land since pre-industrial times."
This concept of climate or ecological anxiety and grief is far-reaching due to the extensive awareness about climate change that is made possible through technology and global communication. [23] Climate change is an ongoing global threat that is largely characterized by uncertainty and lack of understanding.
Scientists estimate that should the current rate of climate change continue, Greenland's ice sheet, which contains 630,000 cubic miles (2,600,000 km 3) of ice, could melt and cause global sea level to rise by 23 ft (7.0 m). Some climate experts have estimated that Greenland could be losing 80 cubic miles (330 km 3) of ice each year. [11]
