Study Links 213 Heat Waves to Fossil Fuel Companies
A new study published in Nature found that 213 heat waves were made substantially more likely and intense by emissions from major fossil fuel producers, including ExxonMobil, Chevron, and BP, with some heat waves being "virtually impossible" without their pollution.

Paris: Deadliest European Capital During Heat Waves
A 2023 Lancet study found Paris had the highest excess heat-related deaths among European capitals from 2000-2019, although other cities experienced significant mortality. While urban factors play a role, climate change and natural climate variability are the primary drivers.
