Europe is the fastest-warming continent and its temperatures are rising at roughly twice the global average, two top climate monitoring organizations reported Monday, warning of the consequences for human health, glacier melt and economic activity.
The U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization and the European Union’s climate agency, Copernicus, said in a joint report that the continent has the opportunity to develop targeted strategies to speed up the transition to renewable resources like wind, solar and hydroelectric power in response to the effects of climate change.
And they have been shuttering their nuclear over the last few decades. Crazy
>the report’s authors pointed to some exceptions, such as how temperatures were below average in Scandinavia and Iceland
Just curious, but why would europe be experiencing more rise compared to other continents dumping more greenhouse?
China and the US both seem to add more than europe, though the US has reduced emissions by 11% and china has increased over 30% since 2010.
