A study by the World Weather Attribution (WWA) group reveals that human-induced climate change has made recent extreme heatwaves in the US southwest and Mexico 35 times more likely. The heatwave, intensified by fossil fuel emissions, has led to deadly temperatures and claimed lives across the region. Scientists emphasize that as global temperatures rise, heatwaves like these will become more frequent and severe, posing grave risks to human health and exacerbating economic costs. The study underscores the urgent need for climate action to mitigate future climate-related disasters.
