Climate change intensified rain that caused deadly Indian landslides, study finds

Heavy rain made about 10% stronger by human-caused climate change triggered the landslides that killed more than 200 people in India's southern state of Kerala last month, a team of international scientists has concluded.

The landslides on Jul 30 in the coastal state's Wayanad region were its worst disaster since 2018, when floods killed more than 400 people.
