This heat wave represents the new reality of climate change hitting Europe harder than anywhere else on Earth. Scientists have definitively linked these extreme temperatures to human-caused global warming, with Europe warming twice as fast as the global average since the 1980s. The continent must adapt quickly to protect vulnerable populations from increasingly deadly heat events.
