Scientists link this summer’s record-smashing Europe heat wave to man-made global warming:
The heat wave that smashed temperature records in Western Europe last month was made more intense by man-made climate change, according to a study published Friday.
In countries where millions of people sweltered through the heat wave, temperatures would have been 1.5 to 3 degrees Celsius lower in a world without human-induced climate change, the study said. The report’s lead author, Robert Vautard of the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace in France, said Europe needs to get used to such heat waves, which are likely to become more frequent and intense.
While the heat wave broke in Western Europe after a few days late last month, the extreme temperatures have since shifted north and are causing massive ice melts in Greenland and the Arctic.
