The article discusses how climate change exacerbates heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, and floods. Rising temperatures, altered jet streams, feedback loops, and urban heat islands intensify heatwaves. Changes in precipitation patterns, evaporation rates, and weakened wet seasons worsen droughts. Climate change prolongs wildfire seasons, increases fuel dryness, and leads to more lightning strikes. Additionally, warmer air, sea-level rise, river flooding, and flash flooding contribute to more severe floods. The article emphasizes the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainable land use, invest in climate resilience, advance climate science, and advocate for policy changes to address these challenges.
