No other continent has warmed as fast as Europe, which has been warming almost twice as fast as the global average since the mid-1990s, writes the New York Times today.
Summer in Europe: Hotter Than Yesterday, Colder Than Tomorrow
The average temperature of Earth continues to rise, but not all areas of the planet are warming at the same rate. Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising at more than twice the global average rate: 0.56°C per decade against the global 0.27° C. Over May and June, Europeans have experienced two record-breaking heatwaves just a couple of weeks apart. Across France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Southern England, temperatures r…
DECRYPTAGE - Heat waves are multiplying on a continent that warms up faster than the rest of the planet. Global rise in temperatures, anticyclonic blockages and mysterious Atlantic "cold blob": scientists disentangle what is already understood... and what remains in debate.
Already a quarter of a century ago, among the first participants and listeners of the Sigma studies at the Centre for Global Dialogue in Rüschlikon (Switzerland), it was clear where the journey is going: global warming will not only blow snow to skiers, but also to the forests.
Why is Europe Warming Faster than the Global Average?
Climate change is impacting every part of the world. However, not all regions are warming at the same rate. Europe has emerged as the fastest-warming continent on Earth. In fact, according to scientific reports, the continent has warmed at nearly twice the global average over the past few decades. This rapid increase in temperatures is leading to more frequent heatwaves, melting glaciers, droughts, wildfires, and changing rainfall patterns. But…
