Scientists say human-caused warming responsible for current heatwave in Asia

VIENTIANE, May 23 (Laotian Times): World Weather Attribution (WWA) has reported that the heatwave in Laos and Thailand would not have happened, if not for humans contributing to the rise of global temperatures.

WWA, an international science consortium specializing in the links between climate change and extreme weather events around the world, said record-breaking temperatures which stretched across the second half of April was one of the most remarkable heatwaves to hit South Asia in recent history.
