Climate Change Responsible , for Record-Breaking Heat in July, Analysis Suggests.
NBC reports that a new analysis suggests that
record heat in July would have been statistically
unlikely if not for human-driven climate change.
Researchers at nonprofit group
Climate Central found that over 80% of the world's
population experienced extreme temperatures.
Prolonged heat waves struck
the United States, Europe and China.
We really are experiencing climate
change just about everywhere, Andrew Pershing, director of climate science for Climate Central, via NBC.
The analysis suggests that approximately 2 billion people
experienced high temperatures that would have
been statistically unlikely without human emissions.

Last month, scientists in Europe said
that July was the hottest month ever recorded.
NBC reports that the world is on track
to continue warming until it
curbs its greenhouse gas emissions. .
Temperatures are going to continue
to rise and a July like this year
eventually will start to look like
an average year, or a cool year, Andrew Pershing, director of climate science for Climate Central, via NBC.
That’s the big challenge of climate change
— is that things are moving so quickly in
our system right now and until we get CO2
emissions under control they’re going
to continue to move very, very quickly, Andrew Pershing, director of climate science for Climate Central, via NBC.
