End to a hectic week, but the heat-health warnings remain in wider parts of Europe. Extreme heat is a risk on society -including health, infrastructure, transport & economy. It is also a very busy period for researchers who do their best to communicate with media. Thank you @lshtm.bsky.social 👇

About 1500 of the approx. 2300 people that will have lost their lives across 12 European cities last week would still live, if it wasn't for our burning of oil, coal and gas. If we care about the right to life, we need to stop burning fossil fuels. www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...
⚠️Climate change tripled death toll in 12 European cities during last week's heatwave rapid analysis by @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social & @lshtm.bsky.social estimates. 🌡️ The study also found that climate change increased heatwave temperatures up to 4°C across the cities 🧵
