This claim was published on social media on Facebook by the page "Albanian Tradition".
But what is it about?
Hibrid.info, after checking the facts, has confirmed that this news is old, published on October 7, 2023, and that it was re-published, falsely presenting itself as current.

This post made by the aforementioned page also offers a link that calls to be clicked to read the news, which is published by the dubious portal "topnews266.com".

After researching using search engines, articles with the same content were found published in October of this year. (see here and here)
The articles point to climate changes that will also affect the Mediterranean, from which, according to scientists, Albania remains at risk in the future.
The same claim was published in December last year by another Facebook page, which was also verified by hibrid.info. (see here)
Analyze:

Based on the working methodology, this article is rated as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
