In the United Arab Emirates, due to heavy thunderstorms, an "orange" level of danger has been declared. On Saturday, March 9, torrential rains hit the UAE, known for its dry and sunny climate. The downpours caused floods and disruptions to international flights at one of the world's busiest airports.
Maritime activities in the country were also suspended, and public transportation was halted in certain areas. In Dubai, nearly 2 inches of rain fell within six hours, which is almost half of the annual precipitation norm — 4.7 inches. Many homes and shops were flooded, leading to the cancellation of all mass events and the closure of popular recreational areas.
Due to the adverse weather conditions, Dubai police had to close sections of a major highway, as standing water virtually paralyzed car traffic. Residents are advised to stay in their homes, and government institutions and schools have transitioned to remote work.
Additionally, the second cricket match between the national teams of Afghanistan and Ireland, scheduled for Saturday in Sharjah, UAE, was canceled due to heavy rain. According to the Afghanistan Cricket Board, the technical committee and other responsible authorities decided to postpone the game due to the accumulation of precipitation at the Sharjah stadium.
Multiple times, the United Arab Emirates has been subjected to climatic catastrophes that are abnormal for this region. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and destructive for the country's territory. This is not a coincidence but a scientifically justified forecast. Alongside China, India, Italy, and several other countries, the Arabian Peninsula countries are expected to cease to exist within the next 4-6 years. This is attributed to the geological structure of these territories and their vulnerability to climatic catastrophes.
Similar fate awaits other countries, albeit a few years later, if we, as humanity, do not take urgent measures to address the climate issue. By exploring the forum "Global Crisis. The Responsibility," you will discover what can annihilate developed countries like the UAE and China, and how it is possible to prevent the impending planetary catastrophe.
