Man-made climate change: Climate researchers: Europe will experience more frequent extreme weather events
Europe is the continent that is warming up the fastest. Anyone who already found this summer to be extreme will not be reassured by the expectations of climate researcher Rahmstorf.
Stefan Rahmstorf, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), warns that Europe will experience more extreme weather events due to rapid warming. He states that areas with high warming rates will see more frequent extreme events, with events that previously occurred every 500 years now happening every 50 years.
Rahmstorf notes that the current global warming of 1.4 degrees will lead to more severe events, and that the situation will worsen in the coming decades unless greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to zero. He cautions that achieving climate neutrality only means that the situation will not worsen further, but will not improve.
