Study says since 1979 climate change has made heat waves last longer, spike hotter, hurt more people

Climate change is making giant heat waves crawl slower across the globe and they are baking more people for a longer time with higher temperatures over larger areas, a new study finds.

Since 1979, global heat waves are moving 20% more slowly — meaning more people stay hot longer — and they are happening 67% more often, according to a study in Friday’s Science Advances. The study found the highest temperatures in the heat waves are warmer than 40 years ago and the area under a heat dome is larger.

Studies have shown heat waves worsening before, but this one is more comprehensive and concentrates heavily on not just temperature and area, but how long the high heat lasts and how it travels across continents, said study co-authors and climate scientists Wei Zhang of Utah State University and Gabriel Lau of Princeton University.

“This paper sends a clear warning that climate change makes heat waves yet more dangerous in more ways than one,” said Lawrence Berkeley National Lab climate scientist Michael Wehner, who wasn’t part of the research.

Just like in an oven, the longer the heat lasts, the more something cooks. In this case it’s people, the co-authors said.

In my 70 years of life, I’ve lost count of the number of doomsday climate scenarios I have witnessed and survived.

Baaaaa-loney!

I’ve lived long enough to know this is nonsense..

Just wait until this generation dies off. They’ll have everyone in a panic 100% of the time and will be able to manipulate most of the population at will.

https://wattsupwiththat.com/u-s-surface-temperature/

“ The graph shows the Average Surface Temperature Anomaly for the contiguous United States since 2005. The data comes from the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) which is a properly sited (away from human influences and infrastructure) and state-of-the-art weather network consisting of 114 stations in the USA.

These station locations were chosen to avoid warm biases from Urban Heat Islands (UHI) effects as well as microsite effects as documented in the 2022 report Corrupted Climate Stations: The Official U.S. Surface Temperature Record Remains Fatally Flawed. Unfortunately, NOAA never reports this data in their monthly or yearly “state of the climate report.” And, mainstream media either is entirely unaware of the existence of this data set or has chosen not to report on this U.S. temperature record. ”

The article is crap but illustrates the danger of the leftists enviroterrorism.

They breached the Irongate and Copco dam near me Hornbrook California in January, destroyed wildlife, wells, lives!
Without the lake, dam and river we can’t fight fire or stop eroding flood. It will become warmer after taking out a complete ecosystem.

Any true climate change will result in a change in ocean levels. And yet the water on Plymouth Rock is at the same level it was roughly 400 years ago. Hmmm.
