Heatwave Linked to Climate Change
Europe is facing a very hot heatwave. Scientists say it is much worse than it would have been in the past. Climate change is the main reason for this extreme heat.
The current heatwave is hotter than heatwaves in 1976 and 2003. Scientists believe this is because of human-caused climate change. The heatwave is changing weather patterns in Europe. It is a significant event showing the effects of climate change. Experts consider the heatwave ‘practically impossible’ to happen without climate change.
