A study indicates that if greenhouse gas emissions remain high, Europe could face temperatures as high as 55 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, or in 74 years. The study also warns of more frequent and severe heatwaves, impacting health, the economy, and ecosystems.
On August 1, 2569, CNBC revealed the results of a recent study warning that... Europe could face a maximum temperature of 55 degrees Celsius by the end of this century (2100), or in about 74 years, if the world continues to emit greenhouse gases at high levels. Scientists say climate change is causing heatwaves to be more severe and frequent in one of the world's hottest continents.
Research indicates that the Mediterranean region, including Spain, Italy, Greece, and parts of France, could be the hardest hit, with maximum temperatures in some areas potentially reaching 50-55 degrees Celsius by the end of the century if greenhouse gas emissions are not significantly reduced.
Researchers warn that increased heat will raise the risk of death from heatstroke and heart disease, impact agricultural productivity, put pressure on public health systems, increase the risk of wildfires, and cause significant damage to Europe's infrastructure and economy.
Experts say that while Europe needs to accelerate its adaptation to extreme heat, reducing global greenhouse gas emissions remains the most crucial factor in limiting the severity of future heatwaves.
