🔴 Mortality burden attributed to anthropogenic warming during Europe’s 2022 record-breaking summer

"Our findings highlight that human-induced climate change poses a risk beyond vulnerable populations, extreme temperatures, heatwaves, or Southern regions characterized by high summer temperatures. However, we also find that population groups more susceptible to heat, i.e. women and the elderly, are more adversely affected by anthropogenic warming than the general population."
