Study links heatwave deaths in London and Paris to climate change

In 2003, more than 70,000 people across Europe died in a sweltering heatwave that spanned much of the summer.

France was among the worst-affected countries, with 15,000 deaths in August alone. In the UK, the summer saw more than 2,000 heat-related fatalities.

A new first-of-a-kind study works out how many of the deaths in Paris and London are down to the heatwave being intensified by human-caused climate change.

The findings suggest that 506 of the 735 summer fatalities in Paris in 2003, and 64 of the 315 in London, were a result of human influence on the climate.

Human influence
The European summer heatwave of 2003 has been something of a focal point for scientists looking at if and how human-caused climate change influences extreme weather events.

In 2004, the heatwave was the subject of the first ever attribution study, which found that climate warming from human activity had at least doubled the likelihood of such an event. In 2014, another study found that a similar “extremely hot” summer in Europe has become 10 times more likely over the last 10-15 years because of climate change.

Taking this a step further, the new study, published in Environmental Research Letters, attributes the number of deaths during the 2003 heatwave to our warming climate.

The study makes use of the weather@home project, where members of the public offer spare capacity on their home computers for scientists to run model simulations.

The researchers ran thousands of simulations of European weather in 2003. One set of model runs simulated the weather according to the climate as it was – i.e. in a world warmed by past greenhouse gas emissions. The second set simulated the weather in a hypothetical world with no human influences on climate.

Man made global warming advocates rely on MODELS which have never been shown to predict anything, not even the local weather forecasts for any period longer then it takes to observe the sky through the front window.

Changing the name man made global warming to climate change and calling people climate change deniers is like George Bush's statement regarding the Iraq war:
"Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
there were NO wmds...

This whole carbon tax deal is a scam and like all the wars justified by similar lies will make the liers very rich
and many peeps very dead.

When I was in Athens in 1987, it hit 50 the day I left and flew to Munich, where it was 15. It was a weird summer. Record heat south of the Alps, record cold north.

Was that global warming, mentalfloss? Or only the south part?

Government Quietly Admits to Weather Modification Program | Wake Up World

"weather control is not only possible, but has been and continues to be, used as a “super weapon,” as evidenced by a statement in 1997 by former U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen, where he said “Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts.”

there is your man made climate change
and we need a carbon tax to stop the man made government?

Northern Ontario,
Floods , fires, hurricanes, typhoons have been happening for centuries
I believe in working to clean air and ground pollution ....... but Mentalfluff's trolling with global warming threads and his ditto heads are bullshyte!

Of course it's natural. It's called weather.

Sounds like weather to me . Never had any floods before the industrial revolution .
Forest fires didn't happen before either .
Hurricanes and tornados just started happening in the 20th century .

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... riiight. Kind of a big drop between the two cities to make the claim those deaths were the direct result of "AGW". So basically 69% of the deaths in Paris were directly attributable to AGW while in London, only 20% were attributed to AGW. Obviously, with that kind of discrepancy one can easily conclude that there were other factors involved and that this "study" is a prime example of pseudo-science.

It's to bad we arnt able to help with that here in Ontario with our electrical grid that uses the most fossil fuel in North America.

So it took thousands of simulations to get to the answer they wanted. Bit of a stretch.
How do you explain all the rain in this drought we are having?
