Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the warming-up-to-ideas dept.

Dirak writes "The temperatures of the summer of 2003 were almost undoubtedly the highest in Europe for over 500 years. New research shows how human influence, mainly fossil fuel burning, can be blamed for increasing the risk of such a heatwave and by the middle of this century every other summer could be even hotter than 2003."

    Who could've missed the astronomers saying the planet was about to be eaten by a giant space worm?

    That's not what I heard. My commanding officer swore blind that the planet was going to be eaten by a giant mutant star-goat. That's all it took to get me on the B Ark.
