European temperatures are rising, most record temperatures have occurred in the past 20 years

Over the past two decades, Europe has witnessed a notable shift in temperature patterns, primarily driven by the global phenomenon of climate change.

 One of the most prominent and consistent trends in Europe over the last 20 years has been a significant increase in average temperatures. Each decade has been warmer than the previous one, with some years experiencing record-breaking temperatures. This warming trend is in line with the broader global climate change phenomenon.

Moreover, Europe has experienced a higher frequency and intensity of heatwaves during this period. These heatwaves can have severe consequences, including health risks, stress on infrastructure, and agricultural challenges. The summer of 2003 stands out as a particularly devastating heatwave, with thousands of fatalities recorded across the continent.

This particular set of data created by Reddit user sdbernard clearly shows two significant observations:
- Most recorded record temperatures in Europe have occurred in the last two decades
- It has gotten very hot in Spain & southern France throughout June 2019.

Climate change has resulted in altered weather patterns across Europe. This includes increased variability, extreme weather events, and shifts in precipitation patterns. Some regions have seen heavier rainfall, leading to flooding, while others have faced prolonged droughts.

Find cities with similar climate

This map has been created using The Global environmental stratification. The Global environmental stratification (GEnS), based on statistical clustering of bioclimate data (WorldClim). GEnS, consists of 125 strata, which have been aggregated into 18 global environmental zones (labeled A to R) based on the dendrogram.

The Appalachian Mountains, the Scottish Highlands, and the Atlas Mounts in Africa were the same mountain range

The Central Pangean Mountains was a prominent mountain ridge in the central part of the supercontinent Pangaea that extends across the continent from northeast to southwest through the Carboniferous , Permian Triassic periods. The mountains were formed due to a collision within the supercontinents Gondwana and Laurussia during the creation of Pangaea. It was comparable to the present Himalayas at its highest peak during the start of the Permian period. It isn’t easy to assume now that once upon a time that the Scottish Highlands, The Appalachian Mountains, the Ouachita Mountain Range, and the Atlas Mountains in northwestern Africa are the same mountains , once connected as the Central Pangean Mountains.

Human Emotions Visualized

Despite significant diversity in the culture around the globe, humanity's DNA is 99.9 percent alike. There are some characteristics more primary and typical to the human experience than our emotions. Of course, the large spectrum of emotions we can feel can be challenging to verbalize. That's where this splendid visualization by the Junto Institute comes in. This visualization is the newest in an ongoing attempt to categorize the full range of emotions logically. Our knowledge has come a long route since William James suggested 4 primary emotions: fear, grief, love, and rage. These kernel emotions yet form much of the basis for current frameworks. The Junto Institute's visualization above classifies 6 basic emotions: fear, anger, sadness, surprise, joy, love More nuanced descriptions begin from these 6 primary emotions, such as jealousy as a subset of anger and awe-struck as a subset of surprise. As a result, there are 102 second-and third-order emotions placed on this emo
