2021: A year of extreme weather | COP26

The Telegraph — Thu, 04 Nov 2021 11:50:14 +0000

From savage wildfires across Australia, California and Greece to flooding in Germany and unprecedented snow in Madrid, 2021 has been a year of weather extremes.

As world leaders meet in Glasgow for Cop26, the UN has warned that the planet is ‘changing before our eyes’ due to global warming. The past seven years are on track to be the warmest on record, based on data for the first nine months of this year according to the provisional WMO State of the Global Climate 2021 report.

Europe’s climate in 2050

CNRS — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 09:22:29 +0000

The speed and magnitude of the climate change we are facing today is unprecedented. Heatwaves, droughts, floods… We are feeling its effects on our daily lives, year after year. Its impacts will increase at least until 2050 and every region of Europe will be affected.

Based on the results of the latest available studies, and in particular, on the 6th IPCC report, this film, produced by scientists in the framework of the European project EUCP, aims to present to the general public the climate changes expected in Europe in 2050. The researchers explain in an accessible way the variations in temperature and precipitation as well as the extreme climate events that European inhabitants will have to face.

This film provides the keys to understand how climate will reshape our landscapes and lifestyles over the coming decades. … and to enable us to better anticipate the need for human societies to adapt to this partly inevitable climate change.
