The findings highlight a stark contrast between past and future climate realities for Europeans.
Children born after 2025 will experience three more years of brutally fire-conducive weather as global heating intensifiesEuropean babies will face almost twice as much extreme fire weather as their great-grandparents if climate action does not ramp up quickly, a study has found.Global heating under current policies will expose a child born in Europe in 2025 to three more years of brutally fire-conducive weather over their lifetime than someone born in 1950, the researchers found.
