  • A record-breaking heatwave that has gripped much of Siberia this year was "almost impossible" without the influence of manmade climate change, leading experts said Wednesday. The warm period between January and June -- which saw temperatures soar as high as 38 degrees Celsius (100 Farenheit) -- was more than 5C hotter than the historic average, they said. Using climate data and computer modelling, the international team of climate specialists compared simulations of the heatwave in today's climate with a climate showing no human warming influence. They found that extreme heat events such as the Siberian hot spell would happen less than once every 80,000 years without human-induced climate change. Pollution from burning fossil fuels increased the chances of the prolonged heat period by at least a factor of 600, they said. Andrew Ciavarella, senior detection and attribution scientist at Britain's Met Office, described the findings as "staggering". "This is further evidence of the extreme temperatures we can expect to see more frequently around the world in a warming climate," he said. With just 1C of warming since the Industrial Revolution, Earth is already buffeted by record-breaking droughts, wild fires and super storms made more potent by rising sea levels. pg-abd/mh/wai
