One producer’s emissions could trigger heatwaves 10000 times likelier
A new Nature study says fossil fuel and cement producers have significantly amplified both the frequency and intensity of climate-change-driven heatwaves. Researchers report that emissions from the biggest carbon producers are a key factor in worsening extreme heat, and that emissions from just one major could be enough to produce events far more likely than current estimates suggest.
