In the case of EU, rather than one of the highest per capita value of municipal waste production, Portugal is among those leading to the landfill.
It is 54% of the waste produced, and only 17% of organic praise’s goal, 17% energy praise and 12% multimetheral appreciation.
In the Portrait of World Environment Day, the Confirm Pordata data “Course heating criterion” Air temperature since 2000.
The highest increase in the maximum temperature is recorded by the braganka weather station, which is close to 3ºC from 1960 to 17.2ºC to 20.1ºC.
In the function, average and minimum temperatures recorded more than 2ºC in the same period, from 18.6ºC to 21.0ºC and 15.5ºC to 18.1ºC.
