🔥🌡 Extreme heat is getting deadlier
Since 2000, over 260,000 deaths have been linked to extreme heat.
If global warming hits 2°C, areas where heat surpasses human survival limits will triple

I am very interested in what is going on with the climate. The science behind our weather monitoring systems is amazing and the changes to the Earth systems are being observed from ice cores to satellite atmospheric monitoring.
