Climate Change Caused by Increase in the Minimum Temperatures

The areas in the world with the most significant increases in minimum temperatures are Australia, Russia, USA, and China. These changes in the climate have been attributed to factors such as the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases (Masson-Delmotte, et al. The greenhouse gases would, therefore, result in the increase in cloud cover and the increase in the precipitation. The forthcoming discussion will entail an analysis of the climate change on a global perspective as well as a local perspective in relation to Jordan through its historical AAM station because of its length of record and reliability. On a global perspective, there are several climatic changes that have been observed. Ninety percent of the energy accumulated in the climatic system between 1971 and 2010 has been stored in the ocean (Masson-Delmotte, et al.

One percent of this accumulated energy is stored in the atmosphere. Global statistics indicate that a significant amount of ocean warming occurs within the upper seventy-five meters of the ocean. The rate of temperature rise on this upper surface of the ocean is at 0. 11°C each decade from 1971 to 2010 (Pachauri & Meyer, 2015). The temperature analysis is inclusive of the fluctuation of temperatures seasonally and annually by taking into consideration the maximum and minimum temperatures in the analysis of the data from the AAM station, abrupt changes were detected through bootstrapping and cumulative sum charts (Naill & Momani, 2009). Furthermore, the possibility of the existence of any significant trends was done through the Mann-Kendall rank test. The analysis of the minimum temperatures of Jordan indicates that there has been a rise from the beginning of recording in 1923 to 1950 (Smadi, 2006).

Then followed a cooling trend in the 1970s. The last trend in relation to the minimum temperature indicated a rise in the minimum temperature from the late 1970s to 2003 (Smadi, 2006). According to statistics using Mann-Kendall, a seasonal and annual decrease in the maximum temperatures is noticed (Smadi, 2006). The impact of climate change in Jordan is relatively adverse and will continue to be in an instance where appropriate measures are not taken to overcome its effects (Smadi, 2006). Some of the outcomes of climate change in Jordan are inclusive of droughts and flood events occurring as a result of the decrease in rainfall (Naill & Momani, 2009). Nonetheless, when it rains, the intensity of the rainfall is higher (Muñoz-Rojas, Abd-Elmabod, Zavala, De la Rosa, & Jordán, 2017).

The water supply was directly and indirectly affected by the increase in temperature. Future predictions are essential for the evaluation of the best ways to reduce the impact of climatic change through human-induced factors or natural factors (Kay, et al. Future predictions in natural activities such as volcanic eruptions allow for the people residing near potentially active volcanos to evacuate in time thus reducing the calamities when the volcano erupts as predicted (Masson-Delmotte, et al. Globally, there is more than one way to evaluate future predictions in the nature of climate change. The integrated panel on climate change gave rise to the Fourth Assessment Report who have developed various strategies to predict climatic change patterns. (Pachauri & Meyer, 2015) There as much as sixteen different climatic models utilized in the analysis of salinity and temperature information.

The most significant changes realized in both the maximum and minimum temperatures are that there were increases from the begin of recording in 1923 to the late 1970s for the minimum temperatures and mid-1970s for the maximum temperature. The final changes in the maximum and minimum temperatures were inclusive of an increase up to the end of recording in 2003. Furthermore, the climatic changes of Jordan align with the global climatic changes. References Jordan’s Third Communication on Climate Change.
