Menschen verursachten Klimawandel Forschungs-Mitteilungen Ökologie 28. März 2017 Werbung Wetter-Extreme: Menschheit verändert wahrscheinlich gigantische Luftströme (WK-intern) - Die Zunahme verheerender sommerlicher Wetter-Extreme steht wahrscheinlich in Verbindung mit dem vom Menschen verursachten Klimawandel, wie immer mehr Belege zeigen. Gigantische Luftströme umkreisen die Erde, wellenförmig schwingen sie zwischen Tropen und Arktis auf und ab. Diese planetaren Wellen transportieren Wärme und Feuchte. Wenn sie ins Stocken kommen, können Dürren oder Fluten entstehen. Die globale Erwärmung durch Treibhausgase aus fossilen Brennstoffen schafft Bedingungen, welche ein solches Stocken begünstigen, so hat jetzt ein internationales Team von Wissenschaftlern herausgefunden. „Die kalifornische Dürre 2016, die Überschwemmung in Pakistan 2010 und die Hitzewelle in Europa 2003 zählen alle zu einer äußerst
