A recent heatwave in Siberia that saw temperature records tumble as the region sweltered in 38-Celsius highs was 'almost impossible' without the influence of man-made climate change, leading climate scientists say.

A recent heatwave in Siberia that saw temperature records tumble as the region sweltered in 38-Celsius highs was"almost impossible" without the influence of man-made climate change, leading climate scientists say.

"This is further evidence of the extreme temperatures we can expect to see more frequently around the world in a warming climate," he said.The impact of climate change on extreme weather events such as super storms and droughts is now well-established, but until fairly recently scientists have been unable to definitively link an individual event to global warming.

They found that the prolonged heat would happen less than once every 80,000 years without human induced climate change. At the same time, the wildfires and sustained heatwaves accelerated the region's permafrost melt. This caused an oil tank built on frozen soil to collapse in May, leading to one of the region's worst-ever oil spills.

While the research was compiled rapidly and has not yet been subjected to peer-review, authors said it produced"among the strongest results of any attribution study conducted to date".
