Climate Home: Hundreds of west Europeans were killed in the 2003 heat wave by human-induced climate change, scientists say in a ground-breaking report British researchers say climate change was responsible for the deaths of more than 60 people in London in 2003, and over 500 in Paris. In a rare instance of direct attribution of human mortality to warming temperatures, they say that years European heatwave raised the risk of heat-related death by 20% in London, and in Paris by 70%. Using both climate...

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...
Forests of the sea in Western Australia slashed by marine heatwave

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Great swathes of the temperate kelp forests on Western Australia's reefs that underpin tourism and fisheries industries worth $10 billion annually are gone. Key points: The ocean off Western Australia is warming twice as fast as the global average Since 2000, nearly 1000 square kilometres of kelp forest have been lost from the area These "forests of the sea" underpin tourism and fisheries worth $10 billion per year And the demise of these remarkable "forests of the sea" is likely permanent,...
