OilPrice highlights a growing body of research connecting human-caused climate change with more severe extreme weather events.

The outlet points to early work published in 2004 that examined the 2003 European summer heatwave, which it says killed over 70,000 people across Europe.

According to OilPrice, the researchers concluded that human involvement had at least doubled the risk of that specific extreme event.

OilPrice frames the findings as part of expanding evidence that climate change can increase the likelihood of dangerous weather patterns.
