Human-made climate change appears to be overwhelmingly to blame for intense heat waves affecting several world regions this month, a study released on Tuesday said.
In a rapid analysis of the current high temperatures, particularly in Southern Europe and the US Southwest, researchers from the World Weather Attribution group concluded that the deadly heat would have been virtually impossible without the continuing buildup of warming gases in the air.
So far, the world has warmed 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, and scientists have warned that going beyond a 1.5 C rise will have catastrophic consequences for human civilization.
