Europe should brace for more deadly heatwaves driven by climate change, according to a sweeping report that said the world's fastest-warming continent was some 2.3 degrees Celsius hotter last year than in pre-industrial times.
Extreme heat, crop-withering drought, record sea-surface temperatures, and unprecedented glacier melt are among a litany of impacts laid out in the State of the Climate in Europe 2022 report, by the World Meteorological Organization and the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service, reports AFP.
