Europe's summer heat claimed 50,000 lives, study finds
Original: Europe's killer heat this summer claims 50,000 lives. Climate change blamed for two-thirds of deaths
Around 50,000 people died across Europe during this summer's extreme heat, according to new reporting carried by multiple news outlets. Scientists attribute roughly two-thirds of those deaths to human-driven climate change, meaning about 33,000 fatalities would likely not have occurred without global warming. The figures are prompting renewed debate over heat preparedness, urban cooling measures and Europe's vulnerability as summer temperatures continue to rise.
Why now: New research quantifying climate change's role in a deadly summer heatwave is drawing wide media attention
