World Cup heat, humidity 'virtually impossible' without climate change: Study

"On America's 250th birthday, our study gives a clear reality check," said Theodore Keeping, an extreme weather and wildfire researcher at Imperial College London who co-authored the research for the World Weather Attribution group (WWA).
