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.

climate to one without human influence through greenhouse gas emissions to understand the influence of climate change on fire weather. They looked at how changes in the weather affected the danger fires posed - how far they were likely to spread and intensify -  once they were ignited.  A warning

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
