• A new study published in the journal Nature found that 55 heatwaves over the past 25 years would not have occurred without human-caused climate change.
• The study linked emissions from 180 major fossil fuel and cement producers to all the heatwaves examined.
• These companies are collectively responsible for 57% of all carbon dioxide emissions since 1850.
• The researchers found that 55 of the 213 heatwaves studied were 10,000 times more likely to have happened because of human-caused climate change.
• Scientists say the findings could be used in legal cases to hold these companies accountable for their role in climate change.
