"Simultaneous heat waves scorched land areas all over the Northern
Hemisphere last summer, killing hundreds and hospitalizing thousands
while intensifying destructive and deadly wildfires.
A study published this week in the journal Earth’s Future concludes that
this heat wave epidemic “would not have occurred without human-induced
climate change.”
The alarming part? There are signs record-setting heat waves are
beginning anew this summer — signaling, perhaps, that these exceptional
and widespread heat spells are now the norm."
