LONDON - Man-made climate change probably made last month’s European heatwave, in which southern France experienced a national record 45.9 degrees Celsius , 4C hotter than it would otherwise have been, scientists said on Tuesday.
“The observations show ... similarly frequent heat waves would have likely been about 4C cooler a century ago,” said the report by the World Weather Attribution group of scientists. Climate scientists have long said that a warming of the earth’s surface caused mainly by industrial-era emissions of carbon-dioxide from fossil fuels will make weather events more extreme, and make those extremes - such as storms, drought and flooding - more frequent.
