Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains that extreme heat events—such as droughts and heat waves—are the clearest evidence of climate change linked to fossil fuel emissions. Referencing climate expert Freddie Otto, McIntyre highlights that rising greenhouse gases are making heat waves more frequent and intense, posing an increasingly serious threat to human health and infrastructure. He warns that, among the effects of climate change, extreme heat may be the most severe and immediate.
