Reacción a "A study estimates that companies with the highest carbon emissions contributed 50% to more intense heatwaves"

This is an original study, as it goes beyond previous attribution studies. Its main novelty is that it directly links large carbon emissions—focused on the world's large oil, gas and coal production companies—with the increased occurrence and intensity of heatwaves observed so far this century.

This work may open the door to others with similar methodologies—a field of research yet to be explored—which could offer new tools for negotiation at climate summits, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with the required urgency, effectively limiting the production of oil, gas and coal worldwide. The impact of extreme heat waves on the producing countries and major emitters themselves may be a key factor in driving mitigation.
