PERU fishing with guts to report…
Increase of 1.6 ° C since 1980, an annual average temperature also affects cocoa crops.
Portocarrero's office Cristina Lau, Manager of Natural Resources Piura, has data and climate projections from 1980 to at least 2050, allowing you to monitor the effects of climate change in this region.
One is that since 1980, the average annual rainfall has increased by 20 mm and the average temperature in Piura, at 1.6 ° C. For example, if before June average was 19 ° C, it is now 20.6 ° C.
The official noted that this increase causes that mosquitoes that transmit diseases such as dengue and malaria, typical of the tropics, temperate zones proliferate.
But Portocarrero says that climate change also causes paradoxes that feel cold days in summer.
Ken Takahashi, head of Climate Change at the Geophysical Institute of Peru, warns that it is difficult to determine how much the temperature increases, as events such as El Nino and temperature changes having the Pacific Ocean every two decades influencing climate data Historic.
Agriculture affected
Portocarrero regrets that increasing temperature favors the occurrence of pests that reduce crop yields as carob and cacao and fruit structure is affected. The rising heat also damages many crops in height.
Increasing temperature causes Piurano Sea Anchovy species migrate to deeper, cooler areas, where fishermen can not catch them, not feed the pelicans with them, so they starve.
