Climate change drives Europe's record 2021 summer
New analysis shows the summer seasonal temperature recorded across Europe in 2021 would have been impossible without human induced climate change.
The summer of 2021 was Europe’s hottest on record with temperatures close to 1°C above the 1991-2020 average. To assess the impact of climate change on these high seasonal temperatures, scientists used a large collection of computer simulations to compare the climate as it is today, with about 1°C
