I found an interesting article about climate change. It mentions that our summer will last half a year by 2100. Winter it self will only be 31 days.
Our summer lasts already 20 % longer than they used to be. The problem is not just that the summer lasts longer, it will be more extreme and forestfires will be more likely.
As already mentioned scientists have already noticed that the duration of summer has grown 17 days in 50 years. And the duration of winter has shrunk by 3 days.
Scientists says that even bigger changes will come.

"(...) Auch wenn das Vlies der meisten FFP2-Masken wie Papier erscheint, es handelt sich um einen thermoplastischen Kunststoff: Polypropylen. Dazu kommen Klebstoffe, Bindemittel, Antioxidantien, UV-Stabilisatoren in großen Mengen. Außerdem haben die Forscher vom Hamburger Umweltinstitut und der Leuphana-Universität in Lüneburg, wo Michael Braungart Professor für Eco-Design ist, flüchtige organische Kohlenwasserstoffe in den zertifizierten Masken gefunden.
