The heatwave which scorched Britain last week was made at least 10 times more likely because of climate change, scientists reported Thursday.
On July 19, temperatures climbed above 40C at Heathrow Airport and records were broken at 46 local monitoring stations across the country. Emergency calls for ambulances surged and a series of grass fires broke out around London.
Climate change is making heatwaves more frequent and more severe, according to the World Weather Attribution , an international research collaboration that teases out the role of climate change in extreme events. Before the industrial revolution and rise of planet-warming emissions, they found the heatwave would have been far less likely to occur and would have been 4C cooler.
