Heat and drought in the West
    According to calculations by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, average temperatures could rise over the next 30 years by up to 3.75 degrees. Farmers should therefore soon be forced to rethink. While potatoes and certain fruits lose in frequent droughts, more important, as the millet grows magnificently. In West German metropolitan areas, the impacts of global warming in the opinion of Harry Lehman of the Federal Environment Agency are not drastic because there could be a significant increase in deaths from heat, because the aging population in densely populated areas especially vulnerable to climate-related cardiovascular diseases. Cases of malaria researchers conclude not. In autumn and winter storms will occur more frequently.
Storm surges in the North
    The summer is always dry in the north, in winter the infamous messy weather in Hamburg and surrounding area is growing dramatically, however. By the middle of the century will be in winter 15 to 50 percent more rain raining down on northern Germany, the latest forecasts. "At sea level, fortunately the situation is less dramatic," said Peter Werner of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, "in the next 30 years is an increase of a few centimeters to expect." Until 2085 the water level of the Elbe could also have an whole meters higher, tidal waves would then be almost commonplace. The tourism industry on the coast but could benefit from climate change: By the end of the century, more than double the number of hot days with temperatures above 25 degrees.
Forest fires in eastern
    In eastern countries makes the climate change is already clearly visible: each year occur in Brandenburg, on average 500 forest fires, ten times as many as in too dense leafy Bavaria. Expected in the coming decades, this trend is strengthening despite the many counter-measures, believes Peter Werner of climate impacts Institute in Potsdam, Germany: "In East Germany there are very many pine forests that are vulnerable to fires," the expert said. Another problem: The biodiversity in forest areas is likely to decrease significantly until the middle of the century. Reason: The climate is changing so fast that many small animals is not enough time to search for a new habitat. Even migrating birds may die if they feed on the forest floor hardly find caterpillars.
No snow in the south
    Green hills instead of white slopes in the Alps: The particularly strong increase in temperature in the south could ruin the operators of ski lifts in the next few decades. At the "Bavarian Rhön", the annual number of days on which the snowy slopes decreased since 1950 by over 20 percent. The Alpine glaciers have lost over the last 150 years, half of its surface, and between 1970 and 2000 deposition rates were three times as high as ever. The Freezing level rising to 250 meters today at the top, in the mountains pile up Steinschläge.Auch for wine-growing areas in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria will change a few things: While Riesling varieties are growing harder and harder to red wine is already in a few decades likely to grow perfect.
