Analysis reveals how climate changes affect the frequency and severity of natural disasters globally, suggesting urgent need for action.
Climate changes caused by uncontrolled emissions of greenhouse gases, increasingly, directly orindirectly threaten people and their material goods. In addition, the effects of the climate changes (increasingin the average temperature of the biosphere, the rising of the sea levels, melting glaciers, etc.), undoubtedlycontribute to an increased risk of natural disasters. Moreover, climate changes have an impact on the gradualincrease of their frequency, intensity and consequences. Around the world, numerous examples of naturaldisasters testify about the great and inevitable impact of the global warming on the change of thecharacteristics of floods, droughts, hurricanes, etc. It is therefore important to analyze the direct and indirectimpacts of climate changes on all the aspects of natural disasters.The article explicitly and implicitly explains the implications of climate changes on the emergence,intensity and frequency of natural disasters. In addition, it generally perceives the phenomenologicalstructures of climate changes and natural disasters in order to analyze their mutual causality.
