Over 570,000 people were killed by the deadly storms, heat waves, and floods that struck Europe, Africa, and Asia.
The latest analysis demonstrates how scientists can now identify the signature of climate change in intricate weather phenomena.
Scientists from Imperial College London’s World Weather Attribution (WWA) department conducted the study, which required reanalyzing data for a few extreme weather occurrences.
Co-founder and head of WWA Dr. Friederike Otto said the report should wake up political leaders who still use fossil fuels that warm the world and kill people.
