Last year was the warmest in the history of weather measurements in Romania, according to an analysis of the National Meteorology Administration. They said that the highest average temperatures since 1990 were recorded in 2007, 2015, 2019, 2020, and 2022. At the same time, the interval between 2012 and 2022 was the warmest period over 11 years in a row, which confirms the trend of rising temperatures in Romania. At the same time, average temperatures way over the normal levels occur all over the Earth. Climate change threatens the entire planet, and is no longer a local or national problem, according to experts, who raise an alarm on the general degradation of the weather, as well as of biodiversity. Scientists insist that time is of the essence, since 75% of world ecosystems are affected by human activity, with over a million species being threatened by extinction, with world prosperity under threat too, considering that over half of the world's GDP is dependent on nature.

Human activities are at the root of dangerous climate warming, a process that translates into weather changes ever more violent, according to scientific studies, confirmed by everyday reality. A report of the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows that 20 phenomena of this type caused last year alone almost 700 deaths in the US, while material damage cost this country over one billion dollars. EU researchers with the Copernicus institute for climate change also shows that Europe face in 2021 a summer characterized by high heat waves around the Mediterranean, and flooding in the center of the continent. According to data from the institute, 2021 was the fifth hottest year on record, with a summer rise in temperature of 1.2 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial period, 150 years ago. Scientists say that, against a rise in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, temperatures will continue to rise in 2022. Awareness of the gravity of climate c
