Europa se încălzește de două ori mai mult decât oricare continent
Europe is experiencing climate change at an alarming rate, warming twice as fast as other continents, leading to severe consequences including heatwaves and increased mortality. The continent's temperature has risen by 2.5°C since pre-industrial times, significantly higher than the global average. Factors such as changing weather patterns, proximity to the Arctic, and reduced snow cover contribute to this rapid warming. The loss of snow and pollution reduction further exacerbate the situation, resulting in more extreme weather events. UN climate chief Simon Stiell emphasizes the urgent need for a transition to renewable energy to mitigate these impacts.
