- ‘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.
