Is it true that a study of Europe's 2026 summer linked extreme heat, including May heatwaves, to excess deaths and damaged harvests?
Yes. A Wikipedia article on the 2026 European heatwaves reports a preliminary Indiana University estimate of about 20,390 excess deaths associated with the heatwaves, and a NASA Science page states preliminary reports link the heat to roughly 10,000 excess deaths and to disrupted agriculture.
