Europa este continentul care se încălzește cel mai rapid din lume. Patru factori accelerează fenomenul

Europe is experiencing a climate crisis, warming twice as fast as other continents, leading to severe consequences including heat-related deaths. The region is now 2.5°C warmer than pre-industrial times, with significant increases in heatwaves and changing weather patterns. Factors such as proximity to the Arctic, reduced snow cover, and decreased air pollution contribute to this rapid warming. The loss of snow and ice exacerbates the situation, creating a feedback loop that further increases temperatures. The impacts are profound, affecting lives and livelihoods across the continent, with urgent calls for action to reduce fossil fuel reliance and enhance renewable energy.
