A recent post by Euronews, titled “Deadly floods, storms and heatwaves: Europe suffered the ‘serious impacts’ of climate change in 2024,” claims that Europe is experiencing very severe impacts from climate change, citing heatwaves, wildfires, and flooding, among other conditions. [emphasis, links added]
This is false.
Europe experienced many different kinds of severe weather across the continent in 2024, but this is not unusual.
Although part of the story is hidden behind a paywall, the Euronews post details several examples of supposed climate-change-fueled extreme weather events from last year.
The main ones mentioned were the wildfires in Portugal, flooding in Valencia, Spain, and heat waves in parts of the continent.
