– This Christmas, from a meteorological point of view, was at least original, it was understood. But the ‘ emergency pollution , which will lead to the obstruction of traffic in Milan and the number plate in Rome, is not the only consequence. According to Coldiretti, in fact, the weather has gone crazy: two and a half months in advance on International Women’s Day is flowering mimosa and mosquitoes are back to sting.

Do not just flowers – In the camps have already been sighted also primroses and violets while the grass grows in the spring as to confirm the anomaly climate: hot, no Rain and wind have caused a historic winter drought in the countryside. For Coldiretti to upset nature was December with a 2.5 degree temperature more than the average, but with almost no rain (-95%) even after November maximum temperatures were 2, 5 degrees higher than average with rainfall almost halved (-49%) but with peaks of 80% less than in the North.
No hibernation for dormice – If the river Po as many other rivers is the same level as during the summer, in some areas in the mountains is tripped the fire alarm completely out of season for the presence of withered grass and shrubs in the woods. “But the effects – according to Coldiretti – there are also animals with babies who have not gone into hibernation but there are still annoying insects such as mosquitoes that have developed a number of generations higher than normal for the abnormal climate.”
“A problem that also concerns the fields where they expect the production season heavy infestation of insect pathogens that are not limited by traditional cold winter. For failure to drop in temperature in the countryside corn is higher normal and there are fears for their crops while the buds of the plants are swollen like bolting and if it were to occur now a strong and sudden drop in temperature will have a serious impairment of the crops, “says the association of farmers.
Damages – “We are facing the effects of climate change that are being manifested by repeated phase shifts seasonal and extreme events with heavy effects on Italian agriculture over the last ten years suffered damage to 14 billion euro between floods and droughts that was especially violent in 2003, 2007 and 2012.
