“Raising temperatures, growing seas, floods, drought and fires threaten our rights to life, health, a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, and many others,” he told the UN Human Human Human Human Human Council.

Thermal waves are becoming more common due to the climatic changes caused by humans, according to the UN intergovernmental panel to climate change.

The extremely hot weather will happen more often – and it will become even more intensive – as the planet continues to warm, she said.

Richard Allen, a professor of climate sciences at the University of Reading in the UK, explained that increasing levels of greenhouse gases make it difficult to lose the planet.

“The greater, the more apparent atmosphere is more efficient in drying the soil, which means that the heat waves intensify, with moderate heat events now becoming extreme.”
