- Europe’s extreme heat would be impossible without climate change, scientists say
A new study by World Weather Attribution found Europe's record-breaking June 2026 heat wave would be impossible without climate change, with temperatures 200 times more likely today than 20 years ago. Scientists compared current conditions to extreme heat events in 1976 and 2003, finding today's heat is 3.5°C hotter during the day and 2.4°C hotter at night compared to 1976. Over 45% of 850 European cities analyzed have broken or are expected to break heat stress records.
- Europe's extreme heat would be impossible without climate change, scientists say
A study by World Weather Attribution found Europe's current extreme heat would be impossible without climate change, with temperatures 200 times more likely now than 20 years ago. The heat wave, affecting France, Italy, Spain, and the UK, features record-breaking temperatures exceeding 40°C and dangerous humidity levels.
- Europe's extreme heat would be impossible without climate change, scientists say
A study by World Weather Attribution found that Europe's current extreme heatwave would have been impossible without climate change, with temperatures 200 times more likely today than 20 years ago. The heatwave, breaking records in France, Italy, Spain, and the UK, is linked to a heat dome and has significantly higher temperatures compared to past extreme heat events in 1976 and 2003.
- ‘This is climate change’: European heat wave impossible without warming, scientists say
Scientists confirm that the current European heat wave is the worst on record and could not have occurred without human-driven climate change. The event is 500 times more likely now than in 1976, with temperatures in Western and Central Europe reaching near or above 40°C. Analysis shows climate change intensified daytime and nighttime heat, making extreme conditions 10-100 times more likely than in 2003.
- AMD is committing £2 billion to power U.K. AI supercomputers and research
AMD is investing £2 billion over five years to develop AI supercomputers in the U.K., including new systems at Cambridge and partnerships with Imperial College London. The commitment focuses on advancing AI research and infrastructure.
- Mathematicians warn of AI threats to profession as industry encroaches
Mathematicians issued the Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics, endorsed by the International Mathematical Union, to address AI's impact on their field. The declaration follows an OpenAI AI model disproving an 80-year-old geometry conjecture, highlighting tech industry influence.
- AI layoffs backfire as cutting staff doesn't cut it, firms warned
Research by Gartner found that companies cutting staff to boost margins using AI are not seeing meaningful returns on investment, and instead, layoffs are creating vacancies. Companies investing in new skills and roles are seeing better results. The analyst firm expects autonomous businesses to start creating jobs by 2028 or 2029.
