"One [#ClimateAttibution analysis] found that one in three newborn babies who died due to heat in some countries would have survived if global heating had not pushed temperatures beyond normal bounds. Another found approximately 100,000 heat-related deaths in summer every year due to the climate crisis."

"Can #attribution studies be used to hold polluters to account? Yes. Such studies are increasingly being used as evidence of responsibility for #climate damage in landmark legal cases, such as Juliana v United States and Lluiya v RWE. Attribution science is also being used to inform negotiations over funding for the UN’s “loss and damage” fund, which would finance the rebuilding of communities after climate disasters." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/18/how-do-we-know-that-the-climate-crisis-is-to-blame-for-extreme-weather
