The antiscience clowns on Agrisilly are back to posting opinions instead of actual facts from credible organizations?
Welcome back to the dark ages! LOL
Yes, parts of the world are warming significantly faster, with the Arctic heating up 3-4 times the global average, followed by Europe, large landmasses, and mountainous regions, primarily due to ice melt amplifying sunlight absorption (albedo effect) and land heating faster than oceans, though Europe also sees effects from reduced aerosols and proximity to the warming Arctic. These areas experience more intense heatwaves, droughts, and ecosystem changes, driven by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

Key Fast-Warming Regions & Why:
- The Arctic: Warming fastest due to sea ice loss which reduces sunlight reflection (ice reflects, dark water absorbs), causing more heat absorption. Lack of atmospheric mixing (convection) also traps heat near the surface.
- Europe: Warming rapidly due to land's faster heating, proximity to the Arctic, and reduced aerosol pollution (less sunlight reflection), plus warming Mediterranean waters.
- Landmasses (Continents): Warm faster than oceans because land absorbs more solar energy, whereas water reflects more and takes more energy to heat.
- Mountain Regions Mirror Arctic trends, with rapid warming linked to similar physical processes and sometimes experiencing warming even faster than lowlands.
- Canada & Middle East: Also noted as warming exceptionally fast, with Canada warming faster than nearly anywhere else, alongside Europe and the Arctic
