Climate change has intensified significantly since 1979, making global heat waves more persistent and severe. 🌍🔥 According to a new study published in Science Advances, heat waves are now moving 20% slower, causing populations to endure high temperatures for longer periods. 🔥😓 Additionally, these extreme weather events are occurring 67% more often compared to four decades ago.
The research highlights that the peak temperatures during these heat waves have increased, and the areas covered under heat domes have expanded, affecting larger regions worldwide. 🌡️🌐 These findings underscore the urgent need for global initiatives to combat climate change and mitigate its far-reaching impacts.
