A scientific analysis concluded that such high temperatures, across so much of the continent, would “not have been possible” without global warming.
Human-caused climate change made this month’s roasting heat in Western Europe much more likely than it would have been even just two decades ago, scientists said Friday, highlighting the rapidly escalating risks to health and livelihoods from the burning of fossil fuels.

Tbf climate change can also lead to crazy cold weather from time to time as both extremes get more extreme due to more humidity in an increasingly warmer air
Well, not really according to the data, since the last time a cold record was broken was 4 years ago.
Yeah but 4 years ago we already had a warmer average temperature worldwide than 40 years ago
If anything it proves my point that the last record was this recently and not decades ago.
That’s simply not true. If we go beyond the fact that one data point doesn’t prove everything, we can state that there is a certain chance that a cold record will occur. In fact, each year there are 365 chances for a cold or hot record to occur, since the records are for coldest / hottest [that particular day of the year]. So each June 26th is compared to all June 26ths since we started measuring.
So that means with almost four years of no cold records, or 1377 days to be exact, there have been 1377 chances for a cold record to occur that have all been missed.
If you look at the graphs on Wikipedia you can also clearly see that cold records are occurring less often.
