The Anatomy of an Overheating Earth: Climate Changes and Worsening Heat Waves

ESG Consulting

Climate change is intensifying rapidly and becoming irreversible. While many of these changes are unprecedented, some of the shifts are now in motion to make them irreversible. Strong emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases are impacting the environment leaving a record-shattering rise in the heatwaves in the UK with temperatures exceeding. The most efficacious way to avoid the negative effects of heatwaves is to mitigate the climate crisis by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

Key Takeaways:

  • With Earth overheating at an alarming rate, the upsurge in average global temperature along with the probability of extremely hot temperature anomalies are also rising, resulting in longer heatwaves.
  • Climate change is intensifying the natural production of water – the water cycle – bringing in more intense rainfall, flooding, and drought in multiple regions.
  • There are likely to be more extreme heat events on Earth this year, considering the increasing odds of record-breaking heatwaves occurring.
