The year 2020 was one of the three warmest on record for Europe, which had the highest annual levels of greenhouse gases since 2003, a report says.
And the latest five-year average temperatures are the highest ever measured.
Copernicus Climate Change Service has released its annual
European State of the Climate report, which contains the latest data to help monitor global warming.
Copernicus is the EU’s Earth observation programme, which considers atmosphere, marine, land, climate change, security and emergency.
The study found that 2020 saw the warmest year, winter, and autumn on record for Europe.
Winter in the continent was more than 3.4°C above average and it was especially warm over north-eastern Europe.
Google Earth has partnered with NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, and Carnegie Mellon University’s CREATE Lab to bring users time-lapse images of the planet’s surface 24 million satellite photos taken over 37 years. Together they offer photographic evidence of a planet changing faster than at any time in millennia. Shorelines creep in. Cities blossom. Trees fall. Water reservoirs shrink. Glaciers melt and fracture.
“We can objectively see global warming with our own eyes,” said Rebecca Moore, director of Google Earth. “We hope that this can ground everyone in an objective, common understanding of what’s actually happening on the planet, and inspire action.”
