"The home-wrecking storms and floods that swept #Europe last year affected 413,000 people, a report has found, as fossil fuel pollution forced the continent to suffer through its hottest year on record.
Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average but has cut its planet-heating pollution faster than other big economies. The EU plans to hit net zero #emissions by 2050, and is expected to also announce a net 90% reduction target for 2040 later this year."
