Europa se suočava s najranijim i najintenzivnijim valom vrućina u modernoj povijesti, s temperaturama koje su na nekim mjestima dosegle rekordne vrijednosti, a uzrok tome su geografske povezanosti s bržim zagrijavanjem Arktika i smanjenje aerosola u atmosferi. #toplinskiVal #Europa #klima
Europa se suočava s najbržim porastom temperature među kontinentima, pri čemu su rekordne vrućine uzrokovane višim apsorpcijama topline uslijed topljenja morskog leda, smanjenjem aerosola koji su prije djelovali hlađeno te utjecajem zatopljenja Arktika, što dovodi do ekstremnih vremenskih uvjeta i smrtnosti povezane s vrućinom diljem regije. #toplinski_val #klimatske_promjene #toplinska_kupola
