Extreme heat waves linked to global warming are causing significant casualties, with projections indicating increased frequency. Recent anomalies like high North Atlantic temperatures and low Antarctic sea ice levels surpass expected warming impacts. Forecasts suggest El Niño will set new heat records in 2024, affecting regions from the Amazon to Alaska. Studies warn of unprecedented regional temperature highs due to the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, posing risks to health and agriculture.

A study in @SciReports shows that several areas of the globe are likely to experience record-breaking average surface air temperatures in the year period up to June 2024 as a result of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon. https://t.co/0bTo76iEmv https://t.co/MAyYUcf9WB

"Crazy” heat in the North Atlantic ocean and record-smashing Antarctic sea ice lows last year are far more severe than what Earth’s supposed to get with current warming levels, a new study found. https://t.co/Oi9NtA7SSL

2023's crazy Atlantic ocean heat, low Antarctic sea ice give glimpse of much hotter world https://t.co/qy3sIzQ4JG
Extreme heat waves are already here, and they are killing tens of thousands of people. Blasting through 2 degrees Celsius of warming means they’ll happen many times more frequently. https://t.co/dpT6Ea34yx
