UN: As per the United Nations over the past three decades, temperatures across Europe have risen at a rate that is more than twice as fast as the global average. On any continent, this temperature increase is the quickest.
In a joint report, the World Meteorological Organization of the UN and the Copernicus Climate Change Service of the European Union noted that temperatures in the European region have increased by an average of 0.5 degrees Celsius every decade since 1991.Alpine glaciers lost 30 metres of ice thickness as a result between 1997 and 2021. It claims that the Greenland ice sheet is rapidly melting and causing the sea level to rise more quickly.
In the previous year, Greenland suffered melting and its highest recorded level of rainfall. According to the analysis, temperatures are likely to keep rising across Europe at a rate that exceeds changes in the global mean temperature, regardless of future levels of global warming. The new analysis, which was published in advance of the UN’s 27th conference on climate change, or COP27, which will begin on Sunday in Egypt, looked at the situation in Europe up to 2021.
