A groundbreaking study by Gottfried Kirchengast and his team at the University of Graz reveals the significant impact of human-made climate change on extreme weather in Europe. Using a new method to analyze extreme events like heat waves and floods, the research shows a tenfold increase in heat extremity in Austria and Central/Southern Europe from 2010-2024 compared to 1961-1990. The study attributes thousands of deaths and substantial economic losses to climate change, with estimates indicating costs could reach €126 billion by 2029.
