New research shows that the damaging fires during the UK’s record-breaking 2022 heatwave were made at least six times more likely due to human-caused climate change.

Prolonged Siberian heat almost impossible without climate change - attribution study

The recent prolonged Siberia heat from January to June 2020 would have been almost impossible without the influence of human-caused climate change, according to a rapid attribution analysis by a team of leading climate scientists. Temperatures were more than 2 °C hotter because of human influence

-observed are the 22 degree halo and parhelia (or “sun-dogs”) but there are many others. It is a feature of such refractions that the deviation of light rays is wavelength-dependent and so white light is separated into colours, completely analogously to what happens in a normal rainbow. Where the ice
