Although frequently mentioned, global warming is and will still be a topic which is worth a lot of attention and discussion. According to Copernicus Climate Change Service (the climate monitoring program of the EU), 2019 was the warmest year on record in Europe. For the rest of the world, it was the second warmest year on average.
