US EditionEuropean heatwave caused 2,300 deaths, scientists estimate
FRANCE, JUL 09 – A rapid study attributes nearly 65% of 2,300 heat-related deaths in 12 European cities to climate change, with elderly populations most affected during the intense heatwave.
- On July 9, British scientists said heat-related deaths were three times higher because of human-driven warming, the heatwave ended last week.
- Human-Driven global warming intensified late June heat, researchers found, making temperatures up to 4°C higher across cities.
- During June 23–July 2, approximately 2,300 people died across 12 European cities, researchers said.
- Since Monday, temperatures in Europe have returned to normal, but the aftermath of the heatwave, including school closures in France and work bans in Italy, continues to unfold.
- Authorities are set to review heat action plans ahead of further heat waves this summer, and the European Environment Agency warns of an accelerating risk curve if warming exceeds 1.5°C.

Meteorologists issue warning as record-setting temperatures impact entire continent: 'Pulverized records'
A record-setting heat wave with temperatures consistently topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit continued to scorch broad swaths of the European continent, leaving a trail of heat-related deaths and illnesses across Spain, France, and Italy, the BBC reported. Spain's national weather service stated that June's average temperature of 74.5 degrees Fahrenheit "pulverized records," per the BBC. England, too, experienced its hottest June on record, while Fr…
When it's very hot, the body goes into hysterical emergency spirals: it sweats, it dehydrates and, therefore, loses the fluid that should distribute the heat throughout the body. If the case is extreme, the proteins denature, as happens with those in a fried egg, and can fail the liver, kidneys or brain. This is what we call heat stroke or sunstroke, which in Barcelona has reached historic figures during the month of June. The asphalt burns the …

(Natural News)—Despite record-breaking heatwaves scorching much of Europe and North America, public support for climate action appears to be weakening rather than intensifying. A recent report from The Guardian reveals that voters across the UK and Europe are increasingly tolerant of political rollbacks on green policies — even as extreme weather events, driven by climate change, become more deadly and frequent. Heatwaves Failing to Mobilize Cl…
A research group including Imperial College London in the UK estimated that around 2,300 people died in 12 European cities over the 10 days between June 23 and July 2 due to heat waves. Of these, they analyzed that around 1,500 people, or around 65%, were caused by human-induced climate change, concluding that climate change tripled the number of deaths. According to European media, various parts of Europe were hit by record heat waves from June…
June Heat Wave Killed 2,300 People Across 12 European Cities
Another searing heat wave is gripping Europe, the third so far this season. On Tuesday, Greek authorities closed the Acropolis to visitors and barred outdoor work as temperatures soared. Firefighters have been battling wildfires in Greece, Spain and France, as well as in Turkey and Syria. In the southern French city of Marseilles, fires injured at least 100 people and temporarily forced the international airport to shut down. This is a Marseille…
Heat waves are coming in waves this summer, and Paris is the city in Europe that is hardest hit – a city not built for tropical heat. Even Europe's right-wing radicals have started to raise the issue, even if they mostly want to put a band-aid on a seriously ill planet.
