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.
