The team of scientists from the US, who conducted an independent analysis, estimated that almost five billion people worldwide – including 619 million in India- had been exposed to extreme heat linked to climate change over those nine days in June. According to the Climate Central report, 619 million people in India were affected by scorching heat In June this year and so was the existence of 579 million Chinese which stood second highest followed by Indonesia with affecting as many as 231 millions. templateUrlBetween China (no:2) & Nigeria(no:? Over 60 percent of the populations from over a third of the Earth’s surface that experienced record heat were living in climate change hot spots, with extreme temperatures made at least three times more likely by human-triggered global warming! Andrew Pershing, Climate Central’s chief program officer and a co-author of the study, said: ‘We’ve loaded the dice on disasters like this one. More than a century worth of burning coal, oil,and natural gas has created an increasingly dangerous world where dominance is being pushed beyond earth’s history.’ These are the heat waves made more frequent until carbon pollution ends. The Climate Shift Index (CSI) from the group Climate Central gauges how much an impact warming might have on temperatures globally. The report said that from June 16-24, 4.45 billion people faced extreme heat with a CSI intensity of at least three — meaning this kind of high temperature was made more than three times likelier because of climate change. In India, where one of its most intense heat waves in decades killed more than 2,300 people over the summer began to subside Monday after weeks of record-breaking temperatures eased. More than 40,000 suspected cases were reported and at least 100 deaths from heat-related illnessesoccured. As the mercury climbed, water supply system and power grids were overwhelmed by intense heat with Delhi facing severe drinking water crisis. Between April and June, 48% of the country saw double heatwave days compared to normal: IMD In many other places, the mercury did not fall below 35 degrees Celsius at night. Over in Delhi, which recorded 40 days of temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius for the first time since records began on May 13th there’sbeen around about sixty heat-related deaths this year itself according to media reports. Saudi officials said at least 1,300 died of heat-related illness during the annual Haj pilgrimage there. In some cities it got as high as over 50 degrees Celsius. According to an analysis by Climate Central, Mecca saw temperatures so extreme that climate change made them three times more probable than not every day since May 18 and five times as likely starting on May 24. A separate analysis by climatologists with the EU-funded Climameter initiative found that global warming boosted temperatures from 1.5 to 2. The US experienced two consecutive heat waves in the final two weeks of June The second hit in the south part of Mexico, as well several Central American countries; At least 125 people died in Mexico, which hit the highest temperature of 52 degrees Celsius on June 21 in the Sonora state. Research from the World Weather Attribution group showed that climate change rendered May and June’s extreme heat 35 times more likely. The country is experiencing temperatures of close to 50 degrees Celsius, making it one of its hottest spells in recent days. At least 40 people were killed in southern province of Aswan. The increased power consumption comes in the wake of soaring temperatures around Turkey, necessitating daily electricity blackouts by parts of the government to avoid an overload on its grid.
Sent by you: Rewrite this para- Based on a new analysis conducted by an independent group of scientists from the US, nearly five billion people worldwide and 619 million Indians experienced extreme heat linked to climate-change in June over nine days According to the Climate Central report, June’s furnace in India scorched an estimated 619 million people there; another half billion felt it as they sizzled across China (579M), Indonesia (231M!), Nigeria:2012! “During June 16-24, more than 60 per cent of the world population lived in areas that were directly affected by at least one heatwave event and around a third experienced extreme heat with widespread impacts,” it added. Clark University scientist Andrew Pershing, chief program officer at Climate Central said “More than a century of burning coal oil and natural gas has bequeathed us an ever-more alarming world. This summer’s heat waves across the globe are unnatural disasters that will continue to plague countries until carbon pollution is curbed. The Climate Shift Index (CSI) of Climate Central assesses the impact of climate change on global temperatures. According to the report, “With a CSI value of 4.31 for June 16-24, over one-third – approximately four billion people — experienced extreme heat with an attribution range [once again] above two million if we consider that temperature-related impacts begin at CSI =3.” More than 40,000 cases of suspected heat stroke were recorded in India – where the heat wave was one of its longest and hottest on record by some accounts – along with more than 100 deaths attributed to it. The extreme heat paralysed water supply system and power grids with the national capital reeling under a severe drinking water crisis. The India Meteorological Department says almost 40 per cent of the country experienced two times more than normal heatwave days from April to June Life across the desert state came to a grinding halt as mercury climbed past 50 degrees Celsius in many parts of Rajasthan, while night temperatures remained above normal levels at around about 35 degree Celsius on Tuesday. In New Delhi, which recorded 40 straight days with temperatures over 104 degrees (Farenheit) beginning May 13, about sixty people have died from the summer heat this year according to media reports. An estimated 1,300 people died due to heat-related illnesses in Saudi Arabia during the annual Haj pilgrimage. Some cities went above 50 degrees Celsius, with scorching temperatures. According to Climate Central’s calculation, each day since May 18 has been at least three times more likely because of global warming in the city of Mecca, and since that date it is five times more likely. Climate Scientists at an EU-funded initiative Climameter had previously analyzed that the heat wave in Saudi Arabia was up to 2.5 Celsius degrees hotter because of climate change. Two heat waves also grounded the US during late June. The first heat wave appeared in central and southern parts of the country including Mexico & countries from Central America. In Mexico, at least 125 people died when temperatures hit 52 degrees Celsius in the Sonora state on June 21. According to the World Weather Attribution group, climate change made May and June’s extreme heat 35 times more likely. Egypt, in recent days sizzling at temperatures close to 50 degrees Celsius South of Aswan province, at least 40 people were reported killed. High temperatures have pushed energy use up nationwide, leading the government to enforce daily power cuts in order not to overwhelm the electricity network.
