The message is we cannot accept anything without researching it.  If it is not right, don't buy it, look for a more sensitive alternative.

The Canary Islands would suffer an increase in temperatures of 4.5º and 30% less rainfall at the end of the century.

They are part of the climate projections for the islands in the remainder of the XXI century that has obtained the Ministry of Ecological Transition.
The climate projections of the Canary Islands for the remainder of the century predict, in the most unfavorable scenario, an increase of up to 4.5 degrees in maximum daytime temperatures, a greater number of tropical nights, fewer episodes of extreme heat but of longer duration and a decrease of up to 30% in rainfall in much of the territory of the archipelago.

 

They are part of the climate projections for the islands in the remainder of the XXI century that has obtained the Ministry of Ecological Transition, Fight against Climate Change and Territorial Planning of the Government of the Canary Islands thanks to the work carried out by the Group of Observation of the Earth and the Atmosphere-GOTA.

 

The regional councilor responsible for the area, José Antonio Valbuena, stressed in a note that these results are the result of a three-year agreement signed by his department with the University of La Laguna, whose budget amounted to 300,000 euros from regional accounts.

 

Valbuena explained that this publication is presented in open format with a grid resolution of 3x3 kilometers, using the mesoscale model for climate change scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

 

"It is essential that public administrations know the climate scenarios that we are going to face in the coming years to properly plan adaptation and mitigation actions in the different parts of the archipelago, always based on the knowledge and work of Canarian universities," added the counselor.

 

Among other conclusions, the projections extracted from this project determine that the minimum daily temperatures could rise, on average, between 1 and 3 degrees by the end of the century in the most unfavorable scenario.

 

In these circumstances, an increase in the number of tropical nights would also be foreseeable, that is, those in which the minimum temperature does not fall below 20 degrees.

 

In the worst scenario, this increase will be 45 days on average for the entire archipelago, with the highest values in the eastern islands and coastal areas.

 

Another outstanding value is that of the maximum daily temperatures, which could rise to about 4.5 degrees in high areas of the islands by the end of the century in the most unfavorable scenario.

 

Another parameter that would be modified by this value would be that of warm episodes and in these projections it is observed that the number of episodes of extreme heat decreases, but the duration of these phenomena will be longer.

 

With regard to rainfall, there is a greater dispersion in terms of data but everything points to an overall decrease in annual rainfall, with the highest areas of the islands being the most affected.

 
It is estimated that, in the worst case, the decrease could be around 30% by the end of the century in much of the territory of the archipelago.
