Scientists Confirm Europe’s Extreme Heat Driven by Climate Change
A new study by World Weather Attribution reveals that the record-breaking heat wave currently scorching Europe would have been virtually impossible without climate change. Researchers found the event to be 200 times more likely today than it was two decades ago. This phenomenon, characterized by extreme daytime and persistent nighttime temperatures across multiple countries, has led to the issuance of red alerts and significant disruptions. Europe, warming at twice the global average, is particularly ill-equipped to handle such extreme heat, lacking widespread air conditioning and other necessary infrastructure.
