00:00Climate Now, en colaboración con Copernicus.
00:30Mucha gente se da cuenta de que esto va a aumentar debido al cambio climático,
00:34que tendremos variaciones de agua alta, agua baja, agua alta y agua baja,
00:39y tenemos que reaccionar de acuerdo.
00:43Primero, los datos más recientes del servicio de cambio climático de Copernicus,
00:47que muestra que aquí en Europa este agosto fue por lo menos el más cálido en recuerdo.
00:52Las temperaturas el mes pasado fueron 1.7 grados Celsius,
00:55sobre la media de 1991 a 2020,
00:59y eso es casi un nivel más alto que el recuerdo anterior de agosto,
01:03en otro año cálido, 2018.
01:06En general, tuvimos un very hot summer here in Europe,
01:09and let's have a look back in time to see how it compares.
01:12This graphic shows temperature anomalies for June, July and August combined since 1979.
01:18And you can see the warming trend with the summer of 2022
01:22rising up at the end 1.3 degrees Celsius above average.
01:27Now, let's switch over to look at the combined temperature anomalies
01:30for June, July and August on a global scale.
01:34You can see it was a warmer than average summer
01:37across many areas of the northern hemisphere.
01:40And then, highlighted in blue is Pakistan,
01:43which was cooler as it experienced heavy rains
01:46leading to devastating floods that claimed 1,400 lives.
01:53Now, to our report from the River Rhine in Germany,
01:56where this year's record dry weather left water levels so low
02:00that many barges could only carry a quarter of their usual load.
02:04The crisis has left the river transport sector rushing to adapt,
02:08and I went to meet them.
02:11Barges on the River Rhine continue to carry lighter loads
02:14as the water level remains low.
02:17Supply chains are severely disrupted.
02:20Today, there are no container ships expected here at the port of Koblenz.
02:25For manager Ant Budebach, it's a frustrating time.
02:31Water levels are already a concern for us
02:34and that's a very unsatisfactory situation because the demand is there.
02:38But unfortunately, we can't offer the capacity to our customers
02:42and offer the service that we would like to offer.
02:49What we can offer is what's called a land bridge,
02:52transporting goods and raw materials by rail or road
02:55for certain segments of their journey up or down the Rhine.
02:58This company is looking ahead too
03:00by commissioning new electrified vessels that can navigate shallower water.
03:07Of course, we'll adapt the ships we're building,
03:10so by default they can also carry more tonnage,
03:13even with a lower water level.
03:15That's an extremely important point in order to have the ships
03:18when there's little water in the Rhine.
03:23The Rhine dropped below average early this year
03:26because a warm, dry spring meant meltwater from the Alps came and went swiftly.
03:30It means that the water here at Kaob, one of the shallowest sections,
03:33could remain low this autumn, according to scientist Enno Nilsson.
03:38We also have to remember that we are at the beginning of the low tide season.
03:42We are now at the beginning of September
03:44and the low flow season here lasts until October, sometimes into November.
03:49Many adaptation plans are in place.
03:51The government will deepen the shallowest channels
03:54and shipping companies now have sophisticated river forecasts
03:57to better manage logistics.
03:59But Nilsson still voices concerns over how extreme the situation could become.
04:04In future climate change conditions,
04:06we actually expect the low water situation to get worse
04:09if we don't engage in climate protection.
04:11It can be expressed in terms of intensity,
04:13that is, how low could the water level go down to,
04:16how little river discharge could we have,
04:19how little could the ships take on board,
04:21but also in terms of duration.
04:23That means we could be stuck in low water situations for weeks or months
04:27and we have to adapt.
04:29How do we react in such situations?
04:36That's all we have time for.
04:38You can read more about why the Rhine is so low
04:41and see projections for the future
04:43on our website, euronews.com,
04:45and I'll see you next time.
