The result is clear: 2020 is the hottest year ever in the country

The Meteorological Institute in Norway has announced that 2020 is the hottest year ever recorded in the country, with shorter and milder winters, more heatwaves in the summer, and increased rainfall and drought. The changing weather patterns will affect food production, and farmers must prepare for the impact of climate change. Globally, 2020 is also set to be one of the hottest years on record, despite the La Niña weather phenomenon, which usually cools down the Pacific Ocean and reduces global temperatures. The warming trend is a slow-moving catastrophe that will lead to flooding and drought in many areas, affecting food production and forcing people to move. It is essential to take the vulnerability seriously and plan for the future.
