WHY ANTALYA CLIMATE WILL CHANGE LIKE CAIRO
Director of Boğaziçi University climate change and Policy Research Center Prof. Dr. said that in 2100, the climate of Antalya will be just like Cairo. Agricultural production in today’s forms will probably not be possible at the end of this century, said Prof. Dr. He said: “Antalya will be the same as Cairo, they will all be the same. By the end of this century, temperatures will probably have increased by 4-5 degrees,” was said.
According to the temperature and precipitation reports of the General Directorate of Meteorology, increases in temperatures and decreases in precipitation in 2020 continue in 2021. May is recorded as the warmest May in 50 years, while rainfall decreased by 56 percent compared to the average of the last 30 years and 66 percent compared to last year’s May rainfall. On drought maps, most of Turkey was shown as’ extraordinarily arid‘,’ very severe arid‘,’ severe arid’. Especially in the Aegean, Mediterranean and Southeastern Anatolia regions, the lack of precipitation increased to over 80 percent.

DROUGHT ALERT
After meteorological reports revealing the effects of global climate change with all its reality, drought alarms began to sound in the agricultural sector. In many regions of Turkey, there have been reports of drought for many field crops, especially cereals, while experts have warned in this direction.

SEASONAL CHANGES SURPRISE PLANTS
Antalya Commodity Exchange (ATB) President, scientists, every 1 degree temperature increase will cause a 6 percent loss in grain production, stating that we are receiving news of a decline in production from all over Anatolia. Seasonal changes surprise plants, changing production periods. Therefore, the product is not available at the time the market needs it, the product can come out during the period when there is no need. This either leads to excessive price growth or excessive decline,” he said.
.
DISRUPTING MARKET RHYTHM
Last year, extreme temperatures in May, olives, oranges, such as many products create a loss of Recolte, plants are damaged by reminding Bell, the weather is extremely hot and the lack of precipitation will seriously negatively affect the production performance. It is inevitable that fruit production, cereals and all field production will be negatively affected by this situation. Both there will be a decline in the yield and climate change is disrupting the rhythm of the market,” he said.
.
DRIP IRRIGATION CALL
Turkish professor also made pointed to that, economical systems such as drip irrigation should be used instead of wild irrigation in the agricultural sector, which accounts for 75 percent of water use, and the state projects should be expanded to the whole of agricultural production by detailing very much. In general, we need to take care of the environmental values that are also felt all over the world, much more than before. We also need to sign the Paris Climate Agreement and comply with the relevant regulations,” he said.

PROF. DOCTOR SAYS:ANTALYA WILL BE LIKE CAIRO
Director of Boğaziçi University climate change and Policy Research Center, he also explained the expectation of the effects of climate change. Kurnaz said that Antalya will be just like Cairo in 2100. In today’s ways, agricultural production will probably not be possible at the end of this century, he said. Chukurov, Urfa, they will all be the same. At the end of this century, temperatures will probably increase by 4-5 degrees,” he said.
.
GREENHOUSES WILL NEED COOLING METHODS
A professor who also evaluates expectations in terms of agricultural production Dr. without greenhouse in Antalya and these regions will not be able to produce in the open, but greenhouses will need to have cooling systems, no longer for heating purposes. Agricultural production cannot be done in the open. Now heating methods are used in greenhouses, then you will need to use cooling methods and find plenty of water,” he said.
In 2100, there will be no tourism in Antalya city and regions Alanya, Belek,Kemer, Kas, Kalkan, Prof. Dr. people will fall from the heat and die. On days like this, he can live completely inside and with air conditioning. It is possible to change this situation only if climate change can be prevented. The whole world needs to stop burning coal, oil, natural gas. Turkey does not need to do anything special, the whole world needs to do to prevent climate change. The situation will gradually deteriorate from 2020 to 2100. It’s going to get worse going forward,” he said.
.
THE AMOUNT OF WATER FELL FROM 8 THOUSAND TO 1360 CUBIC METERS
The amount of water per capita is 1,360 cubic meters per year, he said. This figure was 8 thousand cubic meters in the years when the Republic was founded. In 20 years, it will fall to 1,000 cubic meters. That means we’re water-poor. 75 percent of the water is used in agriculture. If we do not take serious steps in agricultural irrigation, we will not be able to find water to produce our products,” he said.
.
BREAKER: DROUGHT IN 2021 WORSE THAN IN 2020
Scientific advisor of the Society for the protection of nature of Turkey Dr. also said that when looking at meteorological data, the first 5-month period of 2021 is much worse than 2020, which is recorded as the driest year. Low rainfall and extreme temperatures also significantly increase evaporation in wetlands such as lakes, ponds, dams, streams, rivers. The evaporation in the soil is also increasing. A decrease in moisture in the soil also causes an increase in the need for water. Therefore, the year 2021 in agricultural production is quite dangerous, ” he said.
A doctor who said that in many regions of Turkey, limited water will be provided for agricultural irrigation Kesici, for example; in the regions of Egirdir and Beyşehir, these announcements were made by the DSI to farmers. We’re only in the first weeks of summer. July-August will be much warmer. Therefore, we are now having trouble even finding drinking water. Everything has water in its structure, and if there is no water, leave aside the quality of the products, they will not even be able to catch up. If there is no plus water, pests such as insects, bacteria will gradually increase, and this will also threaten human life. We’ll have to fight the pests more. And this time we’ll pollute the environment more. They all are linked to each other,” he said.
.
SEVERE AGRICULTURAL DROUGHT
He warned that water levels in underground, lakes and dams are at a very critical point, and the air temperature is also increasing because there is no moisture, and an agricultural drought is beginning to experience a period of severe. As in the case of Istanbul, we give about 5 million tons of wastewater to the sea in 1 day, considering that we treat these wastewater in absolute terms in accordance with the developing technology of the day, we can easily use it in agriculture and homes without giving it to the seas, lakes, rivers. This is also the most important point for us to prevent the drought a little bit,” he said.
.
THE CAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE IS ALSO HUMAN
He said he could not make it rain with money. “But by using the technologies of the day, by storing rainwater, by using the water we treat, we can prevent the vital dangers that can cause disease, famine, even war. As with the mucilage event, global warming, climate change is not a nature or natural event. This is a disaster created by man. If we accept this, it will also be possible to approach the solution more rationally and scientifically. Because such experiences have always been passed on as’ natural event, Natural’, we also expected a solution from nature. Today, the solution to these problems is in the hands of the people who have the cause,” he said.
