We are facing dangerous positive feedback between climate and boreal fires, heatwaves and droughts are likely to occur more frequently over the boreal region, and the frequency and intensity of extreme wildfires like those in 2021 are likely to increase, with the release of CO2 emissions in turn leading to further global warming. – Bo Zheng	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The lack of proportionality between the tiny increase in risk and lack of control, and the liability for all damaged by heatwaves, bushfires and rising sea levels to all Australians under the age of 18 ongoing into the future, mean that the duty in tort should not be imposed. – Chief Justice James Allsop	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Climate change is inherently unequal : its impacts -- such as droughts, heatwaves flooding, and rising seas -- are felt most in those countries least responsible. This is clearly a human rights issue, when governments do not take action, litigation will increasingly be used to hold them accountable. – Sophie Marjanac	Found on CNN 2 years ago
As a climate scientist, I am particularly alarmed at how extreme heatwaves, such as the one which impacted the Pacific Northwest this summer, are projected to become more common in the future, but right now we have a big opportunity.

I hope it's a wake-up call also to people that have not just been affected by this one, but also people elsewhere -- because it's been heatwaves elsewhere, where I could tell a similar story, we are just facing more extreme events of many kinds, and the only thing we can do is, on the one hand, closing the tap off the increase in greenhouse gases to avoid the risk of getting further out of hand, and on the other hand, preparing for that more extreme climate. – Van Aalst	Found on CNN 2 years ago
When it comes to extreme weather, climate change is loading the weather dice against us, we always have a chance of extreme heat, particularly in the summer : but as the world warms, we see that summer heatwaves are coming earlier, lasting longer, and are becoming hotter and more intense. – Katharine Hayhoe	Found on CNN 3 years ago
These are more than just statistics, increasing temperatures mean more melting ice, higher sea levels, more heatwaves and other extreme weather, and greater impacts on food security, health, the environment and sustainable development. – Petteri Taalas	Found on CNN 3 years ago
A hotter and longer summer will suffer more frequent and intensified high-temperature events -- heatwaves and wildfires. – Congwen Zhu	Found on CNN 3 years ago
This outlook also means the risk of heatwaves is increased. – Andrew Watkins	Found on Reuters 4 years ago
The only reason why people think that cleaner living is more expensive is because they are forgetting about the hidden costs of our current reliance on fossil fuels, people are paying for the impacts of climate change through increased risks of coastal flooding, increased risk of land flooding, increased risk of droughts, increased risk of heatwaves. – Bob Ward	Found on CNN 5 years ago
The impacts of climate change are no longer subtle, we are seeing them play out in real time in the form of unprecedented heatwaves, floods, droughts and wildfires. And we've seen them all this summer. – Michael Mann	Found on CNN 5 years ago
