Unprecedented Global Heatwaves Signal Emerging Climate Crisis

A new study highlights the emergence of extreme heat-wave 'hotspots' worldwide, which exceed climate model predictions. These regions, identified on every continent except Antarctica, have experienced unprecedented heat waves, causing significant fatalities and environmental damage. The study suggests that destabilization of the jet stream, particularly in the northern hemisphere, may contribute to these anomalies, but the exact causes remain unclear. The phenomenon raises concerns about the adequacy of current climate models in predicting regional climate risks.
