Converging Extreme Weather Events Highlight Harsh Impacts of Climate Change

Dave Callaway highlights the increasing severity of extreme weather events in the U.S. Miami has experienced 112-degree days consecutively, and Phoenix recently hit 110 degrees. Last summer, Phoenix endured 100 straight days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, Iowa is facing severe hailstorms, and numerous tornadoes are impacting the Midwest, with hurricane season approaching. Scientists have long warned about rising temperatures, and now the effects are evident and occurring simultaneously. This convergence of extreme weather marks a significant and tragic demonstration of the harsh impacts of climate change.
