Europe's Latest Heat Wave 'Most Severe' Ever, Study Finds

A new study has labeled Europe’s most recent heat wave as the "most severe" ever recorded on the continent. Researchers warn that without urgent action, even higher temperatures are coming. "A rapid phase-out of fossil fuels is critical if we are to avoid even higher temperatures," said World Weather Attribution, the group behind the study. The finding underscores the growing intensity of extreme weather linked to climate change. Scientists stress that cutting emissions is the only way to slow the trend.
