02/11/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Wednesday 2 November, according to a report released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) based on Copernicus services, temperatures on the European continent have risen twice as fast as the global average over the past thirty years. Temperatures in Europe have warmed up over the 1991-2021 period at an average rate of about +0.5°C per decade.
