World weather study: Climate change makes deadly heat 35 times more likely in the USA and Mexico

Parts of Central and North America were recently hit by a dangerous heat wave: At least 120 people died in Mexico alone. A study now shows what role climate change played in this.

The thermometers broke records, which will be increasingly frequent and intense. Extreme heat causes more deaths than hurricanes or floods globally, according to the World Weather Attribution.

Study finds deadly heat waves in Mexico made 35 times more likely by human-induced climate change

Human-induced climate change made a deadly heat wave in Mexico, Central America and the southern United States exponentially more likely, a report by World Weather Attribution Thursday.

Climate change made US and Mexico heatwave 35 times more likely

A new report says extreme heat from May to June was driven by planet-warming emissions from humans.

Mexico's heat wave made monkeys fall dead from trees. With climate change, that'll happen more often

Human-caused climate change made a devastating May heat wave in Mexico, Central America and the southern U.S. 35 times more likely, a new study says. It also found that heat waves are set to happen way more often in the coming decades.

Climate change made killer heat wave in Mexico, Southwest US even warmer and 35 times more likely

A new study finds that human-caused climate change dialed up the heat and drastically increased the odds of this month’s killer heat that has been baking the Southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America. World Weather Attribution, which is a collection of international scientists, calculates that global warming is making sizzling daytime temperatures in this heat wave 35 times more likely and 2.5 degrees hotter. And it really hits hard…
