Summary
A record-breaking heatwave is sweeping across Europe, with climate scientists stating that such extreme temperatures would have been virtually impossible 50 years ago. The heatwave is breaking records not just for daytime highs but also for nighttime heat stress. Professor Wim Thiery and an international team of climate scientists directly link this phenomenon to the use of fossil fuels like oil and gas, calling for urgent action to stop the escalating situation.
