The effects of climate change are beginning to be seen around the world. The average global temperature is also increasing. Now a report has claimed that all over the world Europe global warming has had the greatest impact. In a report released by the World Meteorological Organization, it has been said that in the last three decades, Europe has warmed more than any other part of the world. This speed is double.
The report has claimed that the temperature of the continent is increasing rapidly. Due to this, the number of severe heat, forest fires, floods and other natural calamities is increasing. These things are part of The State of the Climate in Europe report. It has been jointly prepared with the Copernicus Climate Change Service of the European Union.
fast melting alpine glaciers
In this report released on climate change, it has been said that due to global warming, there will be severe heat in Europe. Due to this, there was a severe heat wave in Britain. This can be seen in the future as well. Also, the melting of alpine glaciers can be accelerated. The water of the Mediterranean Sea is also warming due to climate change. Expert and Secretary General Professor Petrie Talas says that Europe presents a living picture in relation to the warming of the world.
The effect is visible in the weather of Europe
He says that this also shows that even a fully prepared society cannot escape the grip of extreme weather conditions. Let us tell you that like 2021, this year too there have been many incidents of drought, severe heat wave and forest fire in many parts of Europe. On the other hand, floods were seen in many parts of Europe in 2021. There were reports of the death of a large number of people in this.
The biggest effect of global warming due to climate change in Europe is being seen on the glaciers of the Alpine mountains. Between 1997 and 2021, the ice thickness of these glaciers has decreased by 30 meters. Greenland’s ice is also melting. Due to this the sea level is also rising.
