 and 55 heat waves over the past quarter 0:02 century would not have happened without 0:04 human-caused climate change. Well, 0:06 that's what a study published in the 0:07 journal Nature says on the examination 0:10 of 213 heat waves between 2000 and 2023. 0:14 Well, the study led by researchers at 0:16 the University at Zurich in Switzerland 0:18 found that carbon emissions from 180 0:21 major cement, oil, and gas producers 0:23 contributed significantly to all the 0:25 heat events considered in the study. 0:27 Now, these fossil fuel and cement 0:29 producers have played a substantial role 0:31 in driving deadly extreme heat events 0:33 across the world. The polluters examined 0:35 in the study include state-owned 0:37 companies as well as several countries 0:38 where fossil fuel production data was 0:41 available at the national level. The 0:42 study found that these producers are 0:44 responsible for 57% of all the carbon 0:46 dioxide that was emitted from 1850s to 0:50 2023. 0:52 Now, scientists say that such source 0:53 attribution could help our litigation 0:55 aimed at holding the fossil fuel 0:57 industry accountable. The study has 0:59 fueled fresh calls for fossil fuel 1:00 giants to pay for the deadly impact of 1:03 their products. 1:32 [Music]
