Study links 55 heat waves since 2000 directly to human-caused climate change.
180 major fossil fuel and cement producers significantly contributed to these heat events.
These entities are responsible for 57% of global CO₂ emissions from 1850 to 2023.
Human emissions tied to increased heat waves
A groundbreaking new study has established a direct link between human-caused climate change and 55 significant heat waves that have occurred since the year 2000. The research, published recently, underscores the profound impact of industrial emissions on global climate patterns and the increased frequency of extreme weather events.
