Human-made global warming ‘caused two in three heat deaths in Europe this summer’

Human-made global heating caused two in every three heat deaths in Europe
during this year’s scorching summer, an early analysis of mortality in 854
big cities has found. Epidemiologists and climate scientists attributed
16,500 out of 24,400 heat deaths from June to August to the extra hot
weather brought on by greenhouse gases. The rapid analysis, which relies on
established methods but has not yet been submitted for peer review, found
climate breakdown made the cities 2.2C hotter on average, greatly
increasing the death toll from dangerously warm weather.
