Study: 50,000+ European heat deaths in summer, 2/3 linked to climate change

A new study in Nature Health estimates over 50,000 heat-related deaths across 854 European cities this summer, with two-thirds (32,619) attributed to human-induced climate change. The toll is 71% higher than previously estimated, highlighting the accelerating health impact of fossil fuel emissions. This underscores the urgent need for adaptation and mitigation, though the study's methodology and attribution remain subject to peer review.
