Australia’s worst heatwave since black summer made five times more likely by global heating, analysis finds

 Human-caused global heating made the intense heatwave that affected much
of Australia in early January five times more likely, new analysis
suggests. The heatwave earlier this month was the most severe since the
2019-20 black summer, with temperatures over 40C in Melbourne and Sydney,
even hotter conditions in regional Victoria and New South Wales and extreme
heat also affecting Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania. In
Victoria, the heat preceded bushfires that burned through 400,000 hectares
and destroyed almost 900 buildings.
