00:39We found that in the last 50 years since a previous heat wave affected Europe in 1976, that the chance
00:48of a heat wave like this has gone from almost impossible to something that we'd expect to see every couple
00:55of decades.
01:10We know that in Europe thousands of people die due to extreme heat every year.
01:15We know that the contribution of climate change to that is very strong.
01:20In general, we tend to put it at about two-thirds increase in the number of deaths, so about two
01:26-thirds of the heat deaths that we see tend to be attributable to climate change.
