By comparison, the average global temperature has increased by about 0.8°C since 1880, with roughly two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1975 at a rate of approximately 0.15- 0.20°C per decade. Earlier this month, Malta endured its third heat- wave of the summer, and, while temperatures are nowhere as warm as they are in other parts of the world, this is symptomatic of global warming-driven climate change. According to James Ciarlò, a researcher at the Climate Research Group in the department of Geo- sciences at the University of Malta, the country's cli- mate and seasonal cycle have already been disturbed. He said Malta would continue to experience more frequent, longer and more intense heatwaves in the coming years as a result. In recent years, the Mediterranean has also start- ed to experience hurricane-like events, such as the storms that hit Malta in November 2014, which brought extreme winds and rain, as well as a signifi- cant amount of damage. We should probably also get used to more of these storms, he said. "Our seasonal cycle has been disrupted and this is affecting plants and bee populations," said Ciarlò. "These problems are happening now." While awareness on the impact of global warming- driven climate change is not scarce, global efforts to counter the phenomenon have not been as success- ful as is necessary according to a majority of climate researchers. An article published in the New York Magazine last month has become the most read article in the publi- cation's history. The article, entitled The Uninhabit- able Earth, runs through a list of possible scenarios resulting from global warming, from vast amounts of the greenhouse gas methane being released into the atmosphere once ice at the earth's poles melts, to Malta's average temperature increased 1°C in 70 years... ... and experts warn of more frequent heatwaves 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974
