The world is on fire. Europe and the U.K. have finally joined the club.
The United Kingdom is generally known for its relatively moderate temperatures, including cool summers and winters that are generally mild. This week, though, the British Isles are undergoing the most intense heat wave on record, withThere is no other way to explain this development than human-made climate change bringing the heat to what were once temperate areas of the planet.
While Tuesday was the first time in recorded history that the U.K. hit 40 Celsius, or 104 F, it most likely won’t be the last., some climate change models show that that temperature “could happen once every 15 years by 2100 if countries meet their carbon emission promises — or once every three or four years if they continue to emit as much pollution as they do today.”
Monday’s temperatures in Britain were also high, and the night into Tuesday offered little relief from the sweltering heat as the temperature stayed above 77 F in some places long after sunset. Climate reporter Kendra Pierre-Louis
