Europe is no exception when it comes to the consequences of climate change. It is the fastest warming continent, with temperatures rising at around twice the global average rate.

Heatwaves, wildfires and floods are just the ‘tip of the iceberg’, leading climate scientists say

Human-caused climate disruption and El Niño push temperature in mountains to 37C

Antarctica’s sea ice levels are plummeting as extreme weather events happen faster than scientists predicted

After hottest day ever, researchers say global heating may mean future of crop failures on land and ‘silent dying’ in the oceans
