Study links record-breaking hot years to human influence
An Australia-based study analysing record-breaking hot years from 1861-2005 has found that without human-caused climate change, there would have been about seven record years instead of 17 during the period. Further, human influence doubled the odds of such events from 1926-1945 and 1967 onwards. The study warned that if the trends continued, every other year after 2100 would break records.
