Las temperaturas en Europa occidental entre el 15 de mayo y 15 de julio fueron muy anómalamente altas en comparación con los mismos períodos de 1951-1980 y 1991-2020. Sin cambio climático habría sido prácticamente imposible alcanzar temperaturas tan altas durante esos dos meses.

🤔 Many researchers produce and publish despite the lack of funding, largely due to systemic biases in budget allocation. Shouldn’t evaluation panels take this reality into account? Something worth reading: 1- l1nq.com/gczi1jj 2- l1nq.com/vlw4gzw 3- l1nq.com/5ad7944 4- arxiv.org/pdf/2501.17150

"The Białowieża Forest is unique on a Polish, European and global scale because it has preserved fragments of its original nature..only slightly modified by humans.
