GLASGOW, United Kingdom - Europe could see near 50C heat every year by the end of the century if urgent action is not taken to slash greenhouse gas emissions, according to a British Met Office analysis.
This summer’s deadly European heatwave – named Lucifer – which saw a new temperature record of 48.8C set in Sicily, would have been impossible without the climate crisis, the analysis found.
Such heat in Europe can now be expected once every three years as a result of the global warming that Earth has already endured, it added.
