DWD-Attributionsstudie zum Hitzeereignis im Juni 2026 zeigt: Ein solches Ereignis wäre in einem um 1,3 °C kälteren Klima nicht möglich gewesen. Erwärmt sich das Klima um weitere 0,7 °C auf 2,0 °C, nimmt die Intensität ähnlicher Hitzewellen demnach deutlich zu. 💡 Zur Studie: t1p.de/or6dj

💭 Looks like the heat wave has brought some attention to my study - enough that it got a mention in the New York Times 👉 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/w... It’s also a good example of how weather extremes can shift public attention toward climate change (without necessarily prompting policy change).

Globally, 84% of the heatwave days people were exposed to in 2020-24 would not have occurred without climate change. The rate of deaths associated with heat exposure increased by 23% from the 1990s, reaching 546,000 deaths annually. Look where people are dying. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???
