Aktuelle Studie ordnet zunehmende Häufigkeit u. Intensität von Hitzewellen den Emissionen einzelner fossiler Brennstoff- und Zementproduzenten ("carbon majors") zu. Alle carbon majors haben unabhängig von ihrer Größe erheblich zur Entstehung dieser extremen Ereignisse beigetragen.

A recent Nature study links increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves to emissions from individual fossil fuel and cement producers (aka carbon majors). All carbon majors, regardless of size, have significantly contributed to the occurrence of these extreme events.

World Weather Attribution

World Weather Attribution is an academic collaboration studying extreme event attribution, calculations of the impact of climate change on extreme meteorological events such as heat waves, droughts, and storms. When an extreme event occurs, the project computes the likelihood that the occurrence, intensity, and duration of the event was due to climate change. The project specializes in producing reports rapidly, while news of the event is still fresh.
