Quote:Over France and the Netherlands, such temperatures would have had extremely little chance to occur without human influence on climate (return periods higher than ~1000 years).
Quote:In all locations an event like the observed would have been 1.5 to 3 ÂșC cooler in an unchanged climate.
Quote:It is noteworthy that every heatwave analysed so far in Europe in recent years (2003, 2010, 2015, 2017, 2018, June 2019 and this study) was found to be made much more likely and more intense due to human-induced climate change.
