The study conducted by the World Weather Attribution group found that the storm was up to 50 times more likely to occur and 50% more intense because of human-caused climate change. The storm caused widespread damage and flooding in Libya, killing thousands of people and displacing millions more.

The study's authors warn that climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. They call for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Climate change is already having a devastating impact on people around the world, and it is only going to get worse if we do not take action now.

World leaders must take the threat of climate change seriously and take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We must also invest in building resilient communities and infrastructure that can withstand the impacts of climate change.
