Hot Enough For Ya? - CleanTechnica

The article "Hot Enough For Ya?" from CleanTechnica highlights the extreme heatwave affecting the central and eastern United States, with temperatures significantly above normal—ranging from about 9.6°F hotter in Washington, D.C. to over 20°F hotter in Concord, New Hampshire. Similar extreme heat is also impacting Western Europe, with temperatures up to 28.6°F above average. These temperature anomalies are linked to climate change, as explained through data and visualizations provided by Climate Central, an independent nonprofit organization that uses scientific research and technology to illustrate the local impacts of climate change. Climate Central’s Climate Shift Index (CSI) attributes these extreme temperature events to human-driven climate change, showing that the recent heatwave in the eastern US is five times more likely to be caused by global warming than by natural variability. The organization emphasizes that climate change is a critical context for understanding a wide range of societal issues beyond just environmental science, including politics, health, and economics.
