"Southern Europe more vulnerable to global warming," headlines Público. Citing a report ordered by the European Commission and published on 1st February by the US National Academy of Sciences, the daily warns of the potential impact of higher temperatures on agriculture, tourism, rivers and public health, and the economic effects on different European regions. In particular, it voices concern over what will "almost certainly be a catastrophic scenario for the Spanish economy, which has a date: the year 2080." In a worst case scenario, "the South will suffer and the North will benefit" from a 5.4 °C temperature increase "that will cut agricultural production by 25% and raise sea levels by close to one metre." Contacted by the daily, one of the authors of the report remarks that "Scandinavia and Denmark stand to gain from the change, because their agricultural productivity will increase by 52%."
