In 2022, for example, Europe experienced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tagesschau.de\/wissen\/klima\/waermster-sommer-europa-101.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tagesschau.de\/wissen\/klima\/waermster-sommer-europa-101.html\">hottest summer<\/a> seit Beginn der Aufzeichnung, extreme Wetterereignisse wie Waldbr\u00e4nde oder Flutkatastrophen sind eine direkte Folge der Erw\u00e4rmung. Seit etwa Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts liegen Aufzeichnungen \u00fcber Temperaturmessungen vor: anhand dieser Daten l\u00e4sst sich berechnen, wie stark sich die globale Durchschnittstemperatur in den letzten Jahrzehnten ver\u00e4ndert hat und wie warm jedes Jahr im Vergleich zum Durchschnitt zwischen 1901 und 2000 war.
