Climate change to hit Europe's Mediterranean region hard, scientists say
Climate change in Europe's Mediterranean region will sap electric power generation, reverse long-standing tourism trends, raise sea levels and leave millions of people with water shortages, scientists said Tuesday. Mediterranean ecosystems are among the world's most sensitive and will be among those hardest-hit by global warming, said Jose Manuel Moreno, a Spanish professor of ecology. Moreno also coordinated a group of scientists who wrote the chapter on Europe in the report issued Friday in Brussels by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
