CRC Do Justice

A historic June heatwave has shattered temperature records across Europe, with daytime temperatures exceeding 40°C in multiple countries. A new report by the World Weather Attribution group concluded that the extreme temperatures—which have claimed dozens of lives and strained infrastructure—would have been "virtually impossible" half a century ago without human-caused climate change.

Scientists found that intense heat episodes are escalating rapidly, making events of this scale hundreds of times more likely than just a few decades ago.
