Air Pollution and Climate Change
The effects of climate change are already visible through rising air temperatures, melting glaciers and shrinking polar ice caps, rising sea levels, increasing desertification, as well as more frequent extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods and storms. Climate change is not uniform globally and affects some regions more than others. Climate changes directly affect Romania and lead to intense heat waves or extreme weather phenomena (floods due to heavy rains, wind intensifications). In terms of maximum temperatures, the number of tropical days in the city of Timisoara has doubled in recent years and the year 2021 brought absolute records at dozens of weather stations, also breaking records over 85 years old (there were +39 in Timi?oara). In the years 2000, 2005 and 2023 repeated floods were recorded in the Timi? county.
This study investigates the perception of climate change in Timi? based on an online survey consisting of 14 questions that was conducted in the spring of 2023 and aims at the level of information and interest, perceived causes, perceived changes in meteorological phenomena at the regional scale. The results of the study show significant differences in the perception of climate change according to age, place of residence (ruralurban) and level of education.
