Today, I am reading: Climate change 'a factor' in frost that decimated France's vineyards, say scientists

-

 Scientists say damaging frost that caused significant/sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt/ economic loss to France's central wine-growing region this year was made more likely by climate change.

A report released on Tuesday by researchers who study the link between global warming and weather events suggests that the intense April 6-8 frost in France was particularly/pəˈtɪkjələli/ damaging due to a preceding/prɪˈsiːd/precede warm period in March.

The analysis conducted by the group World Weather Attribution used 132 climate models to simulate/ˈsɪmjuleɪt/ the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on temperatures in the vineyard/ˈvɪnjəd/-rich Champagne, Loire Valley and Burgundy regions of France. The group uses widely accepted methodologies for its work, but the study hasn't yet been independently reviewed.

The researchers from France, Britain, the Netherlands and Germany concluded/kənˈkluːd/ that the warming caused by man-made emissions had coaxedkəʊks/ the plants into exposing their young leaves when a blast/blɑːst/ of Arctic cold reached Europe in April.

“At the time these frosts
/frɒst/ hit, the buds had already burst/bɜːst/,” says co-author Friederike Otto, associate director of the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute. “And so the frost did damage the vegetation quite a lots". 

The greatest agricultural catastrophe

The result was an estimated €2 billion in economic damage described by French officials as “probably the greatest agricultural catastrophe of the beginning of the 21st century.”

The researchers calculated that while severe April frosts in the region have become less likely due to the 1.2 degrees Celsius of man-made global warming that's already occurred, the earlier growing season means such costly chills are now 60% more likely.

Co-author Robert Vautard, a senior scientist at the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace in France, says further warming to 2°C above pre-industrial times would increase the probability of damaging frosts by a further 40%.

“In the future, we will not be concerned with April frosts, but with March frosts,” he said.

Scientists say damaging frost that caused significant/sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt/ economic loss to France's central wine-growing region this year was made more likely by climate change.

Các nhà khoa học cho biết băng giá gây thiệt hại kinh tế đáng kể cho vùng trồng nho miền trung của Pháp trong năm nay có nhiều khả năng là do biến đổi khí hậu.

A report released on Tuesday by researchers who study the link between global warming and weather events suggests that the intense April 6-8 frost in France was particularly/pəˈtɪkjələli/ damaging due to a preceding/prɪˈsiːd/precede warm period in March.

Một báo cáo được công bố hôm thứ Ba bởi các nhà nghiên cứu nghiên cứu mối liên hệ giữa sự nóng lên toàn cầu và các hiện tượng thời tiết cho thấy rằng đợt băng giá dữ dội từ ngày 6 đến ngày 8 tháng 4 ở Pháp đặc biệt gây thiệt hại do giai đoạn ấm áp trước đó vào tháng Ba.

The analysis conducted by the group World Weather Attribution used 132 climate models to simulate/ˈsɪmjuleɪt/ the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on temperatures in the vineyard/ˈvɪnjəd/-rich Champagne, Loire Valley and Burgundy regions of France. The group uses widely accepted methodologies for its work, but the study hasn't yet been independently reviewed.

Phân tích do nhóm World Weather Attribution thực hiện đã sử dụng 132 mô hình khí hậu để mô phỏng tác động của phát thải khí nhà kính đối với nhiệt độ ở các vùng Champagne giàu vườn nho, Thung lũng Loire và Burgundy của Pháp. Nhóm sử dụng các phương pháp luận được chấp nhận rộng rãi cho công việc của mình, nhưng nghiên cứu vẫn chưa được xem xét một cách độc lập.

The researchers from France, Britain, the Netherlands and Germany concluded/kənˈkluːd/ that the warming caused by man-made emissions had coaxedkəʊks/ the plants into exposing their young leaves when a blast/blɑːst/ of Arctic cold reached Europe in April.

Các nhà nghiên cứu từ Pháp, Anh, Hà Lan và Đức kết luận rằng sự ấm lên do khí thải nhân tạo đã khuyến khích các loài thực vật bộc lộ những lá non của chúng khi một đợt giá lạnh Bắc Cực tràn đến châu Âu vào tháng Tư.

“At the time these frosts

/frɒst/ hit, the buds had already burst/bɜːst/,” says co-author Friederike Otto, associate director of the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute. “And so the frost did damage the vegetation quite a lots". 

Đồng tác giả Friederike Otto, phó giám đốc Viện Thay đổi Môi trường của Đại học Oxford, cho biết: “Vào thời điểm những đợt sương giá này ập đến, các chồi đã nở ra. "Và do đó, sương giá đã làm hỏng thảm thực vật khá nhiều."

The greatest agricultural catastrophe

Thảm họa nông nghiệp lớn nhất

The result was an estimated €2 billion in economic damage described by French officials as “probably the greatest agricultural catastrophe of the beginning of the 21st century.”

Kết quả là thiệt hại kinh tế ước tính khoảng 2 tỷ euro được các quan chức Pháp mô tả là “có lẽ là thảm họa nông nghiệp lớn nhất đầu thế kỷ 21”.

The researchers calculated that while severe April frosts in the region have become less likely due to the 1.2 degrees Celsius of man-made global warming that's already occurred, the earlier growing season means such costly chills are now 60% more likely.

Các nhà nghiên cứu tính toán rằng trong khi các đợt băng giá nghiêm trọng trong tháng 4 trong khu vực đã ít xảy ra hơn do hiện tượng ấm lên toàn cầu do con người tạo ra đã xảy ra 1,2 độ C, nhưng mùa trồng trọt sớm hơn đồng nghĩa với việc những đợt lạnh giá như vậy hiện có khả năng xảy ra cao hơn 60%.

Co-author Robert Vautard, a senior scientist at the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace in France, says further warming to 2°C above pre-industrial times would increase the probability of damaging frosts by a further 40%.

Đồng tác giả Robert Vautard, một nhà khoa học cấp cao tại Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace ở Pháp, cho biết nếu nhiệt độ nóng hơn nữa lên 2 ° C so với thời kỳ tiền công nghiệp sẽ làm tăng thêm 40% xác suất gây hại của sương giá.

“In the future, we will not be concerned with April frosts, but with March frosts,” he said.

Ông nói: “Trong tương lai, chúng tôi sẽ không quan tâm đến sương giá tháng Tư mà là băng giá tháng Ba.

    today, I'm reading: Chinese firms are increasing diversification outside of China, says HSBC CEO

    Noel Quinn, chief executive officer of HSBC Holdings Plc, speaks during the Global Financial Leaders Investment Summit in Hong Kong, China, on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023. Editor’s Note: Sign up for CNN’s Meanwhile in China newsletter, which explores what you need to know about the country’s rise and how it impacts the world. Hong Kong CNN   — Diversification away from China is increasing, and it doesn’t just affect foreign companies, according to HSBC CEO Noel Quinn. Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy forum in Singapore on Wednesday, Quinn said the head of one of HSBC’s units had recently reported a 70% jump “in activity in helping Chinese clients diversify their business model outside of the land mass of China. So that’s an interesting shift.” Quinn, who was appointed CEO in 2020, said data showed there was more activity on “Chinese clients going out of China at this point in time than there is activity into China.” He was responding to a question on firms de-risking from ...

CNN   —Editor’s Note: AJ Willingham is senior culture writer for CNN.   “When you move again, you are going to go downstairs, and you are going to collect the clean clothes from the dryer.”   This is what I tell myself as I sit at my desk and stare out the window, paralyzed by the mounting weight of this simple task. It’s the end of the workday, and my 3:30 p.m. Adderall is coursing through my veins like blue lightning. If I don’t try to move now, I could find myself staring vacantly at a computer screen for the next two hours. I don’t want that. I want to go downstairs and gather the laundry that’s sitting in the dryer, because laundry is one of those things that I, a functional person, should be able to do with basic fluency. “And, while you’re there,” my brain adds, “you can get a trash bag.” A trash bag, to bring to my home office where I work as a se...

What if everything we experience in the world was nothing more than an elaborate simulated reality? The simulation hypothesis isn’t a novel idea and it’s enjoyed some mainstream appeal through movies like The Matrix and high-profile proponents like Elon Musk. Now a physicist working at the University of Portsmouth in the UK has published research in the AIP Advances journal that he says provides support to the strange theory. “I don't want to paraphrase Morpheus from The Matr...
