change. Then, they suggested how often heat waves would happen in the future. The model showed that heat waves in Europe and North America, but also would be almost twice as likely without climate change.It's too early to work out the cost of all that unusual weather. But hundreds of ...
recurring heatwaves have been affecting large portions of Asia,Europe, and theUnited States, priming the land forfires in places like Greece, Spain, andCanada, triggering unhealthy air warnings, evacuations, and heat-related deaths. The increasingly threatening effects of the climate crisis are al...
