"A new method for computing the hazards from extreme events: it can compute all relevant hazard metrics for events such as heat waves, floods and droughts in any region worldwide with unprecedented information content.

Using it for Europe, the researchers found that anthropogenic climate change has caused a tenfold increase in extreme heat in recent decades."

New computation method for climate extremes: Researchers at the University of Graz reveal tenfold increase of heat over Europe

How much will heat, flooding, drought and storms increase as a result of human-induced climate change? In a groundbreaking study, climate researcher Gottfried Kirchengast and his team at the University of Graz have developed a new method for computing the hazards from extreme events: it can compute all relevant hazard metrics for events such as […]

"Researchers looked at 854 European cities and found that climate change was responsible for 68 per cent of the 24,400 estimated heat deaths during this period, having raised temperatures by up to 3.6°C.

2025’s extreme summer weather also sparked short-term economic losses of at least €43 billion, with total costs slated to hit a staggering €126 billion by 2029."

"This massive increase in the total extremity metric goes far beyond its natural variability and shows the influence of human-made climate change with a clarity that even I as a climate researcher have never seen before."
