Climate Change Caused 3X More Deaths in European Heatwave

Recent findings show that climate change significantly intensified the impact of a recent European heatwave, resulting in three times more heat-related deaths than would have occurred without global warming. Scientists point to rising temperatures driven by human-induced climate change as a key factor in the increased mortality. The study underscores the growing health risks posed by extreme weather events and calls for stronger climate policies and public health strategies to mitigate future heatwave-related fatalities.
