Climate change linked to severe heatwave in Europe

The World Weather Attribution group has determined that the extreme heatwave currently affecting Europe is attributed to human-induced climate change and would have been “virtually impossible” 50 years ago. This June marks the continent’s most severe heatwave on record, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in several countries. The study indicates that similar heatwaves are now tens to hundreds of times more likely compared to the past, underscoring the urgent need to phase out fossil fuels to mitigate future temperature rises.
