European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say

Scientists have confirmed that the current heatwave gripping western Europe is the worst ever recorded, attributing its severity to the ongoing climate crisis fueled by fossil fuel emissions. This unprecedented heat, coupled with high humidity, is causing extreme heat stress in nearly half of Europe’s largest cities, making it harder for people to cool down. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for global action on climate change to mitigate such extreme weather events in the future.
