Climate change is significantly impacting global weather patterns, leading to more frequent, intense, and prolonged heat waves. Scientists have observed that heat waves are occurring earlier in the season and are exacerbated by climate change. Recent studies indicate that climate change has made a killer heat wave in Mexico and the Southwest US 35 times more likely. As summer has just started, extreme weather events such as wildfires, heat waves, and hurricanes are becoming more common and dangerous, impacting billions across the globe. Policymakers and scientists emphasize the urgent need to address climate change to mitigate these effects.
It’s officially #summer and #ExtremeWeather is heating up with more frequent and dangerous extreme weather events like wildfires, heat waves, and hurricanes. This has been made even worse by the #climatecrisis. I won’t stop working toward legislation to #ActOnClimateNow! https://t.co/JFpSxSpBE3
If you’ve been outside this past week, you’ve probably been hit by the heat—I know I have. Temperatures are getting higher and heat waves are becoming even more dangerous every year. Climate change is here and now. We must tackle it. https://t.co/tmUc7dYGMd
Scientists say heat waves are coming earlier, getting more intense due to climate change https://t.co/orz4IYfUuP via @WRAL #ClimateMatters
Climate change made killer heat wave in Mexico, Southwest US even warmer and 35 times more likely https://t.co/8UZojDEaZc via @APNews #ClimateCentral
Indeed. #Climate change has made heatwaves, hotter, more likely and longer. https://t.co/y3Tr7zoT80
