Link Between Extreme Heat and Climate Change

A new study has found a definitive link between extreme heat waves in the US, Europe, and China and climate change. The study quantified three specific heat waves and determined that they would have been virtually impossible without the warming effects caused by climate change. This indicates that future heat events are likely to become hotter and more severe. The report emphasizes the need for society to address resilience and develop strategies to cope with increasing temperatures.
