Europe’s Unprecedented Heat Crisis
Description
Europe is baking under a historically unprecedented heatwave, driven squarely by fossil fuel emissions—not El Niño. June is now the fastest-warming month on record, with daytime and nighttime extremes now 100x and 10x more likely than in 2003. Cities across 30 countries, including Dublin and Belfast, face dangerous heat stress levels, amplified by urban heat islands and inequality. Heatwaves are now deadlier than all other natural disasters combined, claiming over 100,000 lives in just two years. Experts warn: without urgent investment in resilient infrastructure and a swift fossil fuel exit, Europe’s heat crisis will only worsen.
