In an ongoing project in India, whereheat wavesfollow on each other every season and now occur already in March and April, we are looking at how different definitions of heat wave relate to mortality to find a balance that is both practically useful and captures the complexity of the problem...
In fact, news reports are frequently broadcast about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses. Continued greenhouse gas emissions will result in further warming and long-lasting changes to the global climate. This requires the attention of people all over the world. ...
Unfortunately, this temporary fix will only serve to make heat waves worse in the long run. When air conditioning systems were first invented, they contained refrigerants composed of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). CFCs emit greenhouse gases which deplete the ozone layer and contribute to global warming....
Heat waves and smoke signals: this month, questions range from fire pump sizing and protection, to placement level of in-rack sprinklers, to friction loss on check valves.(fire protection)Bromann, Mark
Meteorologist, Author, and Storm Chaser Cyrena Arnold answers your questions about extreme weather from Twitter. How accurate is the science in the new film "Twisters?" What is the difference between El Niño and La Niña? Why are scientists predicti
Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The impacts of climate change are real. Plant and animal habitats are changing, glaciers are melting and heat waves and floods are becoming more frequent. All this causes me to question the utility of my work as an environment...
Climate scientist Dr. Peter Kalmus answers the internet's burning questions about our planet. Are there any other planets we can live on yet? Why is the coral reef dying? How does the carbon cycle work? How much longer until Florida is underwater? Dr. Ka

For example, heat waves can result in higher solar irradiance due to the low presence of clouds, on the one hand; while increasing the air temperature and accelerating the aging rate of solar active systems [22], on the other hand. In this framework, among the scientific studies on solar ...
More than 100 countries, including the U.S., have formally joined the agreement, which seeks to reduce emissions and help vulnerable countries adapt to rising seas, intensifying heat waves, the spreading of deserts and other climate changes. ...
