Mount Fuji has experienced a loss of more than a month’s worth of winter days each year in the past decade due to global warming.
A study conducted by a US-based climate organization indicates that the city of Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture added an average of 35 winter days above zero degrees Celsius.
More than half of the 57 Japanese cities studied saw an increase of at least two weeks in winter days above freezing annually.
The report highlights severe implications of these warmer winters, including potential water shortages and an increase in disease-carrying pests.
Climate Central emphasizes the urgent need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
