Simultaneous heatwaves are suffocating the United States, much of Europe and parts of Asia. A major heatwave is forecast to hit much of the contiguous United States during late July into early August as mid-level high pressure builds over much of the western and central regions, according to ...
global warmingmitigationWhy do heat waves, which annually cause far more death, on average, than any other natural disaster, provoke little public reaction? Heat waves will become more common place and heat wave deaths more frequent as temperatures increase from climate change. Models predict that ...
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2 (Xinhua) -- A new study suggests that when Coffea arabica plants were subjected to even short-duration heat waves, they became unable to produce flowers and fruit, meaning there would be no coffee beans and no coffee to drink. By investigating how leaf age and heat ...
It is intuitively reasonable that as average temperatures warm, then the probability and intensity of heat waves should increase. Sardeshmukh writes: Can we not be reasonably certain that 20th century global warming has resulted in increases of daily warm extremes and decreases of daily cold extreme...
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are periods of extreme warm sea surface temperature that persist for days to months1 and can extend up to thousands of kilometres2. Some of the recently observed marine heatwaves revealed the high vulnerability of marine ecos
. Some Chinese netizens blame climate change and heat waves on Western countries, as many were unsatisfied with Europe’s reactivation of coal power as their energy source. Many thought they were hypocritical. For instance, one netizen ironically responded to “Global warming is a problem valuable...

The authors speculate that use of the specific term “global warming” rather than the broader “climate change” may prevent the public from attributing weather events other than heatwaves or droughts to human activity. Another study found a similar discrepancy in America: hot, dry days raised ...
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) stressed that the record-breaking temperatures are not isolated incidents but are linked to climate change and more frequent and intense heatwaves, wildfires and other extreme weather events. In the United States, the Park Fire in northern California in early...
