Since the mid-1990s average temperatures in Europe have risen by 0.53℃ per decade, nearly double the global land average of 0.26℃ https://t.co/cPl2ntUOjI ...

The continent is both warming faster than most parts of the world and, compared with other rich regions, appears to be ill equipped to cope. Some cities are feeling the heat more than others https://t.co/ONPa7MNIdY ...

The collapse of a critical climate system could mean a sudden, severe cooling in Europe—even as the rest of the world keeps warming. We explain what this devastating scenario would look like https://t.co/9hAprUnHhs ...

Heatwaves are causing energy grids to buckle, writes @davidfickling. Most of our infrastructure is designed for temperatures that global warming is upending (via @opinion) https://t.co/9dzqO4TLqR ...

Climate Change & Solar Activity - The world is warming, and while a small group initially attributed it to the sun, the scientific consensus now points to man-made greenhouse gases [1][2] - The sun's total energy output is immense, approximately 10^26 watts, originating from nuclear reactions in its core [5] - The Earth receives over 99.96% of its energy from the sun, influencing the planet's temperature and supporting life [8][11] - Solar activity varies, exhibiting an 11-year cycle with changes in X-ray brightness by a factor of 100 and fluctuations in sunspot numbers [13][14] - During the Maunder Minimum (approximately 1645 to 1715), a period of low sunspot activity, Europe and the North Atlantic region experienced a Little Ice Age [16] Research & Modeling - Solar brightness measurements from space over the past 40+ years show a small amplitude of 0.1% variation correlating with sunspot activity [18][19] - The SATIRE model was developed to estimate solar brightness during periods without direct measurements, such as the Maunder Minimum [21] - Carbon-14 production, influenced by cosmic rays and the sun's magnetic field, provides an indirect measure of solar activity over thousands of years [23][26] - Analysis of carbon-14 and climate data suggests a correlation between solar inactivity and cooler temperatures in the North Atlantic European region in prehistoric and historic times [29][30] Current Climate Change Drivers - Since approximately 1980, global temperature increases have diverged from solar activity patterns, indicating that man-made greenhouse gases are now the primary driver of climate change [34][35]

For many Europeans, escaping the summer heat used to be as easy as taking a beachside plunge or catching an Alpine breather. But global warming is changing all that: Here's your Evening Briefing https://t.co/qiX39Do2H0 ...

In a new Energy Department report, contrarian scientists hired by the Trump administration say the severity and costs of global warming have been overstated https://t.co/j3qERk3m2Y ...

Heavy rainfall and flooding in Beijing have caused 30 deaths so far. Extreme weather events such as this are occurring more often as global warming supercharges the planet’s water cycle.Here's what to know ⤵️ https://t.co/TQiEqARRYf ...
