Human-Caused Climate Change Blamed for Deadly Global Heatwaves

Extreme heat and heat waves can kill people and animals. Now, experts revealed that human-caused climate change is likely to blame for dangerous heat.

The continuous human-caused emissions and lack of commitment from countries could worsen the global heat, affecting the environment and humans.

Recently, Nature World News (NWN) reported the extreme heat and wildfires globally that caused massive evacuations and heat-related health concerns.

In the United States, reports showed that brutal heat continued gripping many South and West states. The brutal heat resulted in heat watches and heat warnings.

In parts of Europe, hotter conditions occurred in parts of Greece, Poland, Germany and Spain.

Meanwhile, in Greece, NWN reported that the country experienced raging wildfires that resulted in massive evacuations.

Furthermore, a CNN report showed that at least 62,000 people in Europe died from extreme heat last year.

Based on the report published in Nature Medicine, the report noted the heat-related deaths between May 30 and September 4, 2022.

The hot weather conditions can bring more risk among sensitive groups, including older adults, outdoor workers, pregnant women, children and people with medical conditions.

Impact of human-induced climate change on brutal heat

The problem of the climate crisis and global warming has been the main focus of experts and scientists, finding innovative ways to mitigate the rapid rising of temperatures.

According to The Guardian's report, the soaring heatwaves are to blame for human-caused climate change.

Burning fossil fuels is considered one of the main drivers of climate change.

As a result, the urgent reduction of emissions is crucial to prevent the rapid rise of global temperatures and the emergence of brutal heat waves.

Based on a report published by the University of California, burning fossil fuels can harm Earth, causing poor air quality and rapid melting of ice.

The early beginning of July recently became the hottest in temperature recorded due to extreme heat.

The World Meteorological Organization noted the record-breaking temperatures in both oceans and land.

According to The Guardian's report, Dr. Friederike Otto from Imperial College London explained that extreme heat could kill people and damage vulnerable livelihoods.

As a result, the government's commitment is vital to deal with the burning, as extreme heat continues to rise and kill people.

People without access to air-conditioning and cooler environments are more vulnerable to extreme heat.

Florida's ocean temperatures

Recently, NWN reported the unusual ocean temperatures on the Florida coast due to extreme heat in the United States.

In the Reuters and The Guardian's reports, the waters of Manatee Bay, near the South of Miami, reached 101.19 (38.43C).

The temperature can likely set a new world record, which feels like a hot bathtub.

Furthermore, experts raised concerns about rising ocean temperatures, harming coral reefs and aquatic animals on the coastal area.

Did you know?

Coral reefs are sensitive to temperature changes. According to NOAA's report, warmer and rising temperatures would lead to coral bleaching, making the corals look pale or white.
