Scientists are sounding the alarm because this warming is shockingly bigbigger than what we would have expected given the long-term warming trend from fossil fuel-caused climate change. Its a great question, but the warming effect from heat-trapping gases far outweighs the cooling effect from industrial aerosols.

As the climate continues to change and average global temperatures rise, heat domes, heat waves, and extreme temperatures days will become more frequent. But the thing about a heat dome is that the air barely cools off in the evening. Well, for one, we stop fueling the fire. So how do we bring down the heat?

Texas A&M climate scientists Andrew Dessler and Jangho Lee told the AP that last year’s real national annual heat death toll may be more like 11,000–and that it could get much worse. We’re going to look back at 2023 and say, man, that was cool,” Dessler said.
