Human-caused climate change has made extreme weather events significantly more likely; for example, Britain's record-breaking May temperature of 34.8°C (breaking the previous record by 2°C) was three times more likely due to increased greenhouse gas emissions, demonstrating that such extreme heat events are no longer rare occurrences but are happening approximately every 33 years instead of once every 100 years.
