Temperatures in Europe have risen by more than double the world average over the past 30 years, the highest increase of any other continent in the world, warns a new World Meteorological Organization (WTO) report released today in Geneva.

And the near future will not be better. Regardless of future global warming, “temperatures in all European areas will rise faster than changes in the world average temperature,” writes the WM that even well-prepared societies are not safe from the effects of extreme weather events,” commented Secretary General Petteri Taalas.
