Australia: Climate Change blamed for mangrove deaths

AAP: Vast swathes of mangroves have died in Australia's north, with scientists saying climate change is likely responsible for the staggering scale of the event. Once healthy mangroves that lined the Gulf of Carpentaria's coastline are now dead, and the die-off happened over a single month, James Cook University Professor Norm Duke says. He says the scale of the event is a world first and coincided with a mass coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef. About 7000 hectares have been affected along...

Yale Environment 360: Heat Wave Linked to Climate Change A new study suggests that human-caused climate change could be responsible for a significant portion of the 70,000 deaths that occurred during the record-breaking 2003 European heat wave. The research, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, combined climate modeling with health data for hundreds of fatalities that summer. Climate change, the study found, increased the likelihood of heat-related losses by nearly 70 percent in Paris and 20 percent...

Climate Change to Blame for Deaths in 2003 Heat Wave, New Study Says

InsideClimate: The first attempt by scientists to assess the role of climate change in the deadly European heat waves of 2003 has attributed about half of the 1,050 deaths in Paris and London that summer to the effects of global warming. Tens of thousands of people, many of them elderly, died in France and other European nations in one of the most notable extreme weather events since the turn of the century. The implication of the study, published Thursday in the journal Environmental Research Letters, is that...
Study links heatwave deaths in London and Paris to climate change

Carbon Brief: Study links heatwave deaths in London and Paris to climate change In 2003, more than 70,000 people across Europe died in a sweltering heatwave that spanned much of the summer. France was among the worst-affected countries, with 15,000 deaths in August alone. In the UK, the summer saw more than 2,000 heat-related fatalities. A new first-of-a-kind study works out how many of the deaths in Paris and London are down to the heatwave being intensified by human-caused climate change. The findings...

100s of deaths in 2 cities in 2003 heatwave due to human-made climate change

ScienceDaily: Scientists have specified how many deaths can be attributed to human-made climate change during an extreme heatwave in two European cities in 2003. They calculate that in Paris, the hottest city in Europe during the heatwave in summer 2003, 506 out of 735 summer deaths recorded in the French capital were due to a heatwave made worse by human-made climate change. The impact of climate change was less severe in London, with an additional 64 deaths out of a total of 315 heat-related deaths, says the...
