This article says climate change is “believed to have played a role” in the UK's extreme heat this week.

As a climate scientist, let me fact-check that.

First, climate change is not a religion. No belief is required. It is about evidence.

And the evidence has been crystal clear for more than two decades: climate change is making heat waves hotter, longer, more frequent and more dangerous.

In fact, science has advanced far beyond saying climate change merely “played a role.” Today, we can quantify how much more likely and how much hotter climate change made a specific event.

Here's the bottom line:

Climate is changing. Humans are responsible. And we are experiencing the impacts now. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that solutions already exist, and the majority of people care - 89%, around the world!

But meaningful action depends on helping people understand not just what is happening: we need to know how it affects our lives (this heat wave being example A today) and what we can do about it.

That’s the opportunity this reporting missed.

Can't believe how warm it is today and still May

If you’re near Richmond Park in Hinckley today get along to support Jak who’s running a 102km fundraiser round the park today in support of his Friend Liam who was brutally attacked on a night out Well done Jak 102km in any weather is a challenge in this heat it’s incredibly hard

If the Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner has two million to spend on policing he should spend it on putting more police on local streets in towns like Hinckley not on private security patrols https://t.co/dcZgJkXVyY
