Climate change leads to overheating of European seas
A scientific study indicates that climate change is the main cause of rising sea temperatures in Europe, with significant consequences for biodiversity.
A recent study reports that the majority of warming in European seas is attributed to climate change. It reveals a temperature increase of up to 2°C this summer in the Mediterranean, affecting more and more maritime areas.
Sea temperatures, from the Atlantic off the coast of Ireland to the Mediterranean, are showing alarming rises. This phenomenon is primarily driven by the effects of climate change, according to an analysis conducted by researchers.
One of the study's authors, Thomas Frölicher from the University of Bern, emphasizes that this situation poses serious challenges for marine life. The consequences of this overheating are deemed severe, impacting the ecosystem and marine biodiversity.
