Europe scorcher is 'price to pay for fossil energy pollution': UN climate chief
Make us preferred on Google A man sits in the shade of a tree to escape the heat during a scorcher in Madrid, Spain, June 23, 2026. — Reuters The scorcher scorching Europe has the fingerprints of climate change all over it and is "the latest price to pay for fossil energy pollution baking our planet", UN climate chief Simon Stiell stated Thursday.
Europe has endured extreme heat this week, with record-developing temperatures in France, Britain and Spain and other countries issuing high-level heat alerts.
"Europe’s savage scorcher has the fingerprints of the climate crisis all over it -- it’s the latest price to pay for fossil energy pollution baking our planet," Stiell stated in a comment.
"Until humanity stops burning colossal amounts of coal, oil and gas, extreme heat will keep getting worse," he stated.
Scientists have shown that recurring heatwaves are a clear marker of global warming, and warn they are set to become more frequent, longer and more intense.
