Increase of average yearly temperature (2000–2017) above the 20th century average in selected cities in Europe [1] Climate change has resulted in an increase in temperature of 2.3 °C (4.14 °F) (2022) in Europe compared to pre-industrial levels. Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world. [2]
The majority of Europe's glaciers are found in the Alps, Caucasus and the Scandinavian Mountains (mostly Norway) as well as in Iceland. Iceland has the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull Glacier, that covers between 8,100 and 8,300 km 2 in area and 3,100 km 3 in volume. Norway alone has more than 2500 glaciers (including very small ones ...
Switzerland — home to the most glaciers of any country in Europe — has seen 4% of its total glacier volume disappear in 2023, the second-biggest decline in a single year on top of a 6% drop in ...
Chacaltaya Glacier has lost 90% of its mass since 1940 and was expected to disappear altogether sometime between 2010 and 2015. Antizana is also reported to have lost 40% of its surface area between 1979 and 2007. [163] Research also indicates that since the mid-1980s, the rate of retreat for both of these glaciers has been increasing. [164]
Global warming has increased the speed at which glaciers in Greenland are melting by fivefold over the last 20 years, scientists from the University of Copenhagen said on Friday. Greenland's ice ...
Even in the best-case scenario, where the temperature increase is limited to 1.5C, around half of the glaciers will disappear, experts predict. 80% of Earth’s glaciers ‘will be gone by 2100 if ...
