SBS TV의 시사프로그램 ‘현장 21’은 기후 변화가 한반도에 끼친 다양한 영향을 조명할 것이라고 밝혔다.
제작진은 최근 한반도에 나타나고 있는 기후 변화에 따라 우리나라에 각종 이상한 동물이 모습을 드러내고 있다고 전할 예정이다.
제작진에 따르면, 경남 김해시를 흐르는 해반천에서는 최근 길이 1ｍ, 몸무게 8㎏의 대형 쥐가 나타났다고 한다. 몸길이가 작은 돼지와 거의 비슷한 이 기형 쥐는 수중 식물을 닥치는 대로 먹어치운다.
그 외에 바다에서 기형 어종이 발견되고, 도심에서는 모기의 숫자가 매년 가파르게 늘어나는 등 변화가 보이고 있다.
최근 기상청이 발간한 ‘한반도 기후변화 전망보고서’는 2100년이 되면 우리나라의 여름이 6개월에 이르고 겨울은 2개월로 짧아진다고 전망했는데, 이에 따른 환경의 변화가 벌써부터 나타나고 있는 것으로 보인다.

‘Giant rats’ plague Gimhae: TV station
A variety of deformed animals, including one-meter-long giant rats, are emerging in Korea, a local broadcaster claimed.
SBS said it will take a look at how abnormal animals have appeared recently due to climate change in its current affairs show Hyeonjang 21 (At the Scene 21).
A recent report by Korea Meteorological Administration indicated that climate in Korea is rapidly changing. According to the report, by 2100 summers will be six months long, and winters will be merely two months, a change which presumably will bring devastating effects to the environment.
Some of its effects may already be taking place.
According to the producers of the program, rats that weigh about 8 kilograms and are 10 times longer than normal rats have merged in Gimhae city, South Gyeongsang province. The giant rats are said to be causing havoc in the area by devouring vegetation.
Hyeonjang 21 will also focus on genetic deformities found in marine life.
The show will be aired on Tuesday at 8:55 p.m.
