At least 24 previously impossible heatwaves have struck communities across the planet, showing how human-caused global heating is supercharging extreme weather and endangering lives.
Studies have shown that millions, including thousands of newborns, would not have died prematurely without the extra human-caused heat, underscoring the severe impact of climate change.
The new database compiled by Carbon Brief reveals that around 550 extreme weather events have been significantly worsened by global heating, showcasing the urgent need for action.
Scientists warn that the anticipated rise to 2.5C to 3.0C of global heating poses a catastrophic threat, emphasizing the necessity of rapid carbon emission cuts.
