Bonjour, Tim. It's me, Otto. The weather in
Taiwan was still hot as hell in the past few weeks, and the temperature can
still reach up to 33 degrees. It's so uncomfortable to live in a subtropical
area although autumn is just around the corner. Due to climate change, it seems
to be apparent that the global average temperature has risen rapidly especially
some countries like Taiwan. The president of the United States Donald Trump has
claimed: " The concept of global warming was created by and for the
Chinese." , it is interesting to see whether what he says is true, isn't
it, Tim? During our mid-summer, the highest record can even above 38 degrees.
It is needless to say the most terrible part must be the high humidity and the
heat sun, too fierce for me to do anything: Everybody was sweating like a pig
even though they tried not to go outside. It comes as no surprise that lots of
people are delivered to hospitals because of heat exhaustion every summer,
while what puzzled experts more is the continuously rising temperature and the
high-temperature days. For them, it is hard to believe the world would be like
after 100 years: Will humans still survive? Where are the habitats which
creatures can go to? This is an important issue that we should face.πππππππ

Otto,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you think that the Taiwan climate is worse that the Arizona desert. You're right. The difference is in the high humidity in Taiwan, which makes it very uncomfortable all the time, and also prevents it from cooling off very much at night.
Taiwan summers must be awful, and worse than ours. At least most people in Taiwan can have some air conditioning. Think of places like Vietnam and the Philippines, which are just as hot and humid, but very few people have air conditioning. So as bad as you think Taiwan may be, it could be worse.
