Scientists link major carbon emitters to worsening heat waves
One-quarter of more than 200 heat waves that occurred worldwide this century may have been impossible without human-induced global warming. Emissions from the world’s largest fossil fuel and cement companies played a significant role in worsening those events, according to…
A recent study has highlighted the decisive role of large fossil fuel and cement producers in climate change and especially in more recurrent heat waves. And it is that over more than 170 years, these corporations (such as Saudi Aramco, Gazprom or ExxonMobil) have driven global economic development, but at the cost of leaving a deep environmental footprint.
LONDON – Large fossil fuel and cement companies are responsible for the increased frequency and intensity of heat waves that have affected the world in recent years, showed a new research released by the scientific journal Nature. Climate change caused 213 historical heat waves reported between 2000 and [...]
Every summer, the finding worsens and the responsibility of the polluters of the planet too. The heat waves succeed each other, the records fall, and the populations suffocate. The summer 2025 did not escape the rule, punctuated by heat waves called "records" and "unprecedented". But if everyone shares a share of responsibility in global warming, a recent study, relayed by Futura Sciences, points the finger at the very precise actors. These are …
Scientists link more deadly heat waves to fossil fuel companies
NPR reported The 2021 heat dome in the Pacific Northwest that overwhelmed emergency rooms and left hundreds dead. The 2022 heat wave in India that devastated the wheat harvest. The deadly heat waves in France in 2003, and China in 2013. A new study links these recent heat waves — and more than 200 others — to human-caused climate change, and the greenhouse gas pollution of major fossil fuel producers.
