Climate change intensified the 10 deadliest extreme events of the past 20 years A study warns that these events, which claimed more than 570,000 lives and included the heat waves of 2022 and 2023, were more severe and likely due to global warming

On the 10th anniversary of its founding, World Weather Attribution has published a study showing that the world’s 10 deadliest extreme weather events between 2004 and 2023 were made “more intense and more likely” due to climate change. Manuel Planelles for @elpais.bsky.social
