Singing you are watching bbc news. Lets bring you some of the day possibly other news. The searing heat that scorched Western Canada and United States at the End Ofjune would never have occurred without Climate Change scientists. They studied a team of researchers stated that the heatwave is one in 1000 Euros event, but we can expect extreme events such as this to become more common as the world heats up due to Climate Change. If humans had not influence the climate to the extent that they have this ijust the climate to the extent that they have this i just the the climate to the extent that they have this ijust the event the climate to the extent that they have this i just the event would have this i just the event would have been 150 times less likely. 0ur Environment Correspondent has this report. As temperatures soared in the last days ofjune, people living in Western Canada and parts of the us sought refuge from the heat where ever they could find it. The prolonged Heatwave Saw A Spike in sudden deaths, with homeless people particularly vulnerable to the searing temperatures. The heat smashed temperature records, with many cities passing a0 celsius. In british columbia, the village of lytton almost reached 50 degrees, shortly before it was largely destroyed by wildfire. Governments and citizens were quick to question the role of Climate Change in the heatwave. Now researchers say that without all of the carbon from cars and other human activities, it would have been virtually impossible for the deadly heat to occur. A big worry for climate researchers is that their models do not predict heat on the scales seen in canada for many decades to come. They are concerned that the climate might have passed a threshold where small amounts of extra carbon will trigger big temperature rises. While the situation in Canada Injune was extreme, but it was not the only place to endure intense heat. India and pakistan both saw soaring temperatures and deadly outcomes for many. Scientists believe the global nature of warming means that every heatwave occurring today is made more likely and more intense by Climate Change. It is little wonder that heat topped the charts of deadliest disasters in both 2019 and 2020, according to the red cross. The Rising Tide of scientific evidence on the impacts of Climate Change will put added pressure on the worlds political leaders, who will meet in glasgow in the uk in november. They will try to agree new measures to rapidly cut emissions of carbon. Even if they succeed, extreme Heat Events like those seen in canada and the us in recent weeks will likely recur, with greater frequency and increasing intensity. Matt mcgrath, bbc news.
