Climate Change Made Europe's Deadly Floods Worse and More Likely.

Record rainfall in Europe in September that led to deadly floods was found to be twice as likely due to manmade climate change, according to a study by World Weather Attribution. The flooding affected several countries in central Europe, resulting in the death of 24 people and impacting almost two million individuals. The researchers used weather data and climate models to demonstrate the effects of climate change on weather patterns, and they predict that similar storms will become 50% more frequent in central Europe and drop 5% more rain if warming reaches 2C. Despite the lower death toll compared to previous flooding events, the impacts were still significant, causing widespread damage to homes and infrastructure. [Extracted from the article]
