Punishing heatwave that scorched India and Pakistan in March and April has been made 30 times more likely by climate crisis and global heating, experts say

As a consequence, India last week blocked millions of tonnes earmarked for sale abroad, pushing up global prices already hit hard by conflict-torn Ukraine's crippled wheat exports. "One can imagine how bad it would be even for a 1.5C-warmer world," he said, referring to the aspirational Paris treaty target for capping the rise in global temperatures.
