Climate scientists have documented a clear connection between global warming and intensified extreme weather. A new report from the World Meteorological Organization shows that heatwaves, floods, and storms have become more frequent and severe over the past decade.
The analysis examined weather events from 2015 to 2025. Researchers found that record-breaking heat occurred three times more often than would be expected without climate change. Extreme rainfall events increased by 40% in many regions.
"The evidence is overwhelming," said Professor Sarah Jones, lead author of the report. "Climate change is no longer a future threat - it's driving weather extremes happening right now." The findings underscore the urgent need for emissions reductions and climate adaptation measures.
