The record-breaking heat that’s scorching Europe day and night this month would not have been possible without climate change, according to a new study. The World Weather Attribution rapid study released Friday found that the heat would have been virtually impossible just five decades ago, and is 200 times more likely than 20 years ago. Millions in France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe, are experiencing extreme temperatures and humidity this week associated with a heat dome. Daytime temperatures have topped 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) in many places, while high nighttime temperatures have also made it harder to cool down and recover.
