BRUSSELS - Europe is emerging from its second-warmest winter on record, European Union scientists said on Wednesday, as climate change continues to intensify.
Europe experienced a severe winter heatwave in late December and early January, when record-high winter temperatures hit countries from France to Hungary, forcing ski resorts to close because of lack of snow. Scientists say Europe’s winters are becoming warmer as a result of rising global temperatures, due to human-caused climate change.
Many alpine ski resorts closed fully or partially because of a lack of snow and high temperatures in Europe.
