Climate change Drives Europe's Heatwave
A study has reported that the record heatwave sweeping Western Europe could not have occurred without human-induced climate change, which has increased the likelihood of nighttime temperature rises by a hundredfold compared to two decades ago. The analysis indicated that this wave is the most intense ever in the region, and that emissions from burning fossil fuels are raising average temperatures by approximately 1.4°C above pre-industrial levels, thereby increasing the frequency and severity of heatwaves. The current heatwave has led to record levels of heat stress in more than 45% of European cities.
