The Deadly Combination of Heat and Humidity in India and Pakistan in Summer 2015
Open accessAbstract
We find that the deadly heat waves in India and Pakistan in 2015 were exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change. Although the impacts of both events were severe, the events themselves were not connected to each other.

There is robust evidence confirming the role of human-induced climate change in driving increases in extreme heat.
“and there is robust evidence confirming the role of human-induced climate change in driving them (Wehner et al 2016, Pattanayak et al 2017, Wang et al 2017, Dileepkumar et al 2018, 2021, van Oldenborgh et al 2018, Seong et al 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
