Climate change: Europe is warming the most.

Athrú aeráide: an Eoraip is tréine atá ag téamh.

Europe is warming, or being warmed by humans, more than any other continent on the planet, says a new international report on climate change.

Is í an Eoraip thar aon ilchríoch eile den chruinne is tréine atá ag téamh, nó á téamh ag an duine, a deirtear i dtuarascáil nua idirnáisiúnta faoi athrú aeráide.

Every decade for thirty years, Europe has seen an average temperature increase of 0.56 degrees, a rate that is twice as strong as the rest of the world.

Gach deich mbliana le tríocha bliain, bhí meánardú de 0.56 céim ar an teocht san Eoraip, ráta atá dhá oiread níos tréine ná an chuid eile den domhan.

This means that the temperature in Europe increased by 1.68 degrees during those years.

Fágann sin gur ardú de 1.68 céim a tháinig ar an teocht san Eoraip i gcaitheamh na mblianta sin.

However, temperatures are rising even faster in the Arctic region – 0.75 degrees every decade.

Is tréine fós atá an teocht ag ardú i réigiún an Artaigh, áfach – 0.75 céim gach deich mbliana.

The result of this catastrophic change is warmer air, warmer seas, melting ice, drier land, the destruction of nature and the disappearance of all the shadows on which all beings live.

Is é an toradh atá ar an athrú tubaisteach seo aer níos teo, farraigí níos teo, leá oighir, talamh níos tirime, scriosadh dúlra agus dul i léig gach aon cheann de scátha a chéile a maireann gach aon neach orthu.

The details are in the annual report published by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the World Meteorological Organization.

Tá na mionsonraí sa tuarascáil bhliantúil a d’fhoilsigh an Lárionad Eorpach do Réamhaisnéisí Aimsire Meánraoin agus an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Meitéareolaíochta.

In addition to the report’s doomsday predictions, it also highlights the positive side of the situation.

Chomh maith le tuar tubaiste na tuarascála, tarraingítear aird ann ar an gcor dearfach.

The progress made in Europe regarding renewable energy is said to be a hopeful forecast.

Tuar dóchais, a deirtear, is ea an dul chun cinn atá déanta san Eoraip maidir le fuinneamh in- athnuaite.

In 2025, 46.4% of Europe’s electricity supply will be generated from renewable sources.

In 2025, is ó fhoinsí in-athnuaite a gineadh 46.4 faoin gcéad de sholáthar leictreachais na hEorpa.

These sources were mainly wind, water and sun.

Gaoth, uisce agus grian is mó a bhí sna foinsí sin.

27.5% of electricity supply was generated from fossil fuels, a significant decrease over thirty years.

Ó bhreoslaí iontaise a gineadh 27.5 faoin gcéad den soláthar leictreachais, ar laghdú suntasach é sin le tríocha bliain.
