Why Europe is the fastest-warming continent

Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average, driven by factors including heat dome weather systems, links to rapid Arctic warming, the albedo effect from reduced snow and ice cover, jet stream disruptions, and reduced air pollution that previously reflected sunlight to offset warming. Multiple scientific agencies and studies confirm human-induced climate change is a core driver of the continent's increasingly frequent extreme heat events.
