Torrential rain from Storm Boris resulted in severe flooding across Central Europe, causing significant damage and leading to the tragic loss of 24 lives.
The World Weather Attribution study found that human-caused climate change made the heavy rains in Central Europe twice as likely and intensified them by 7% to 20%.
Joyce Kimutai emphasized the link between fossil fuel-driven warming and severe weather events, stating, "These floods highlight the devastating results of fossil fuel-driven warming."
Friederike Otto noted that while record-breaking rainfall can occur in any climate, the large margins by which these records are broken indicate a troubling trend.
