Climate change turbocharged killer heat wave in Southwest US and Mexico, researchers say

- Human-caused climate change dialed up the thermostat and turbocharged the odds of this month's killer heat that has been baking the Southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America, a new flash study found.
Sizzling daytime temperatures that triggered cases of heat stroke in parts of the United States were 35 times more likely and 2.5 degrees hotter (1.4 degrees Celsius) because of the warming from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, World Weather Attribution, a collection of scientists that run rapid and non-peer reviewed climate attribution studies, calculated Thursday.
“It's an oven here; you can't stay here,” 82-year-old Magarita Salazar Pérez of Veracruz, Mexico, said in her home with no air conditioning. Last week, the Sonoran Desert hit 125 degrees (51.9 degrees Celsius), the hottest day in Mexican history, according to study co-author Shel Winkley, a meteorologist at Climate Central.
And it was even worse at night, which is what made this heat wave so deadly, said Imperial College of London climate scientist Friederike Otto, who coordinates the attribution study team. Climate change made nighttime temperatures 2.9 degrees (1.6 degrees Celsius) warmer and unusual evening heat 200 more times more likely, she said.
There's just been no cool air at night like people are used to, Salazar Pérez said. Doctors say cooler night temperatures are key to surviving a heat wave.
At least 125 people have died so far, according to the World Weather Attribution team.
The alarming part about this heat wave, which technically is still cooking the North American continent, is that it's no longer that out of the ordinary anymore, Otto said. Past studies by the group have looked at heat so extreme that they found it impossible without climate change, but this heat wave not so much.
“From a sort of weather perspective in that sense it wasn't rare, but the impacts were actually really bad,” Otto told The Associated Press in an interview.
“The changes we have seen in the last 20 years, which feels like just yesterday, are so strong,” Otto said.
Her study found that this heat wave is now four times more likely to happen now than it was in the year 2000 when it was nearly a degree (0.5 degrees Celsius) cooler than now. “It seems sort of far away and a different world.”
While other groups of international scientists - and the global carbon emissions reduction target adopted by countries in the 2015 Paris climate agreement - refer to warming since pre-industrial time in mid 1800s, Otto said comparing what's happening now to the year 2000 is more striking.
The study looked at a large swath of the continent, including southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize and Honduras and the hottest five consecutive days and hottest five consecutive nights. For most of the area, those five days ran from June 3 to 7 and those five nights were June 5 to 9, but in a few places the peak heat started May 26, Otto said.
For example, San Angelo, Texas, hit a record 111 degrees (43.8 degrees Celsius) on June 4. Between June 2 and June 6 the night temperature never dipped below 80 degrees (26.7 degrees Celsius) at Corpus Christi airport, a record each night, with two days when the thermometer never dropped below 85 (29.4 degrees Celsius) according to the National Weather Service.
Between June 1 and June 15, more than 1,200 daytime high temperature records were tied or broken in the United States and nearly 1,800 nighttime high temperature records were reached, according to the National Center for Environmental Information.
The attribution team used both current and past temperature measurements, contrasting what is happening to what occurred in past heat waves. They then used the scientifically accepted technique of comparing simulations of a fictional world without human-caused climate change to current reality to come up with how much global warming factored into the 2024 heat wave.

I'm sure it's something that higher taxes and giving up some rights would fix.
ha
Yes, a LOT of uneducated conservatives think that taxes alone fix these problems. At least some admit there is one.
nice republican talking point. enjoy paying more for everything when climate change fully comes to fruition
The " fixx " is in...play
Why are conservatives so uneducated on this matter? You seriously think only taxes will help? Golly, just pay more money and TA DA!! Not a single solution offers by the far right because they don;t understand the issue, refuse to understanding it, love being in the dark.
Stop spraying
One of the biggest drivers...geoengineering!!
CO2 emissions has a natural background rate of 12 gigatons per 200 years while currently we are going 1000 to 5000 gigatons per 200 years (and then there's the cO2 equivalent emissions that are much worse).
If y'all are falling for this crap (again), you're beyond help.
NBC4i and ABC6onyourside Weather is More Reasonable than 10TV. That's The Truth.
Agreed. If you fall for the Fox entertainment lies, you'll be saying things like "it's summer, it's supposed to get warmer and warmer each summer."
nope. you're beyond help.
Joseph Fourier published two hundred years ago that "the effects of human industry" would heat up Earth. So you only need to do 200 years of remedial reading to overcome your corporate brainwashing cult syndrome.
We have got to put more laws and restrictions into place for businesses and individuals and pay more taxes and this will lower temperatures. 🤦🏻When a non political issue (the weather) becomes political,you know it’s all bull 💩.
Don't worry it maybe to late. You will be fine when food gets hard to find just eat sawdust. Oh and even some republicans are seeing real benefits from jobs in there states from green energy project's. now there starting to say wait a minute maybe we don't have to end all these green energy projects. maybe its not so bad
We are paying more because the corporation's are making record profits. You know the same people that gave trump 50 million in campaign donations at just one dinner. you know the same people that stay in trumps hotels and resorts. The same ones that got huge tax reductions under trump and the middle class got nothing but higher prices. You know the same ones that benefited from taxes on imports so the corporation's have less competition and can raise prices even higher.
Trying to gaslight us into not remembering this has happened before... Multiple times.
Between 1911 and 1930 are when most of the temp records in the us were recorded
Agreed. The 1980s were warmer than the 1970s. The 1990s even warmer. 2000s warmer. 2010s warmer. This has happened before, and the far right will never understand it no matter how many times you explain it.
It’s crazy how sheep for the oil business and billionaires don’t understand how records are constantly being broken for the hottest weather in recorded history. And then if years later happens again, and then again, and again. Baa!
it's pretty simple. it's getting hotter a lot faster than before.
And its going to get hotter and even colder in some area's faster and faster.
Ummm, its summer time. Gets hot outside
Happens every summer where I live😂😊
@@janecochran521 same here, I always thumbs down these videos. No value just narcissist attention hounds.
@@WingWalker1 you're the narcissist. you won't listen to anyone that goes against your fox news indoctrinated views.
@@janecochran521 Where I live too. Hotter and hotter each decade. Happening in most every area on the globe. The far right needs to wake up.
@@scottekoontz Remember there not republicans there maga idiots and oddballs, Big differance
Yea it got shot every year in the southwest . Not as bad as when all the records were set back in the 1930s
They have beaten the records . get your head out of the sand its hot and causing brain damage
It's called summer.In winter it snows by the way.
YES...and we have dangerous cold snaps in the winter!!
@@janecochran521 Cold snaps..no it's winter it gets cold.Not caused by climate change.
@@janecochran521 yep. Cold snaps didn't exists 100 years ago. Climate change
@janecochran521 No.Not dangerous. Just cold in winter like it's always been and warm in summer.
it's more than summer buddy.
@1:26 - the fact that people have to be told it's too hot to hike here today but we can't trust you not to know that so they'll put up a sign that says this part of the outdoors is closed shows how stupid human beings can be.
see maga
I wish that could pay higher taxes, get drafted, so the gov't could change the weather.
Actually green energy projects are lowering prices. Do you have any idea how high gas prices would be if the oil company's didn't have the threat of electric cars ? Just for starters
“Turbocharged killer heatwaves”. The propaganda is getting desperate.
It's called summer 🌞
Who is this lady anyways
Some globalist paid by some elitist!
And next week it will be too cold somewhere because of climate change. The week after that it will be too rainy or too dry somewhere because of climate change. Thank God that we can simply pay higher taxes and change the temperature. Whew!!!
It’s summer, it’s hot. Shut up.
you shut up
You are mistaking season change and climate change again. This is called summertime.
What do you call the upward temp trend of summers? The upward trend of winters? The trend of days? Nights? Springs? Autumns?
@@scottekoontz I call it natural. The earths climate has been constantly changing for 4.6 billion years, we are not going to stop it from changing. We only have records of about 150 years, however those records are limited because half of the states “breaking records” now were not inhabited, or states 150 years ago. We have accurate widespread data of our country’s weather starting in the 40s, so that means we are using a sample size of about 80 years out of 4.6 billion years that they are using to scare people. That is not a big enough sample size to accurately assess the situation.
I call it normal. The earths climate has been constantly changing for 4.6 billion years, we are not going to stop it from continuing to change. We have about 150 years of temperature records, the problem with that is that half of the states “breaking records” were not inhabited and were not states 150 years ago. We have widespread accurate records for about the last 90 years. 90 years out of 4.6 billion years is not a large enough sample size to know what is going to happen. They are trying to scare people with nonsense. Climate change is what they are using to write blank checks by taxing and manipulating industries under the guise of going green.

We’re not worried about it; nice accent.
Summer....it's hot, it's always been hot.
Climate changes every season, always has always will.
You don't know more than scientists.
Incorrect! The world is experiencing more heat bubbles for longer periods of time. That IS NOT natural. Science is causing the problems. Texas, for instance was under an extreme heat wave for a month. Natural
Summer heat? Yeah, right! Can I sell you swamp water? 🤣
@@user-fd6bo9rc2s Try looking at ice core samples and stop lying.Its just summer.
It’s crazy how sheep for the oil business and billionaires don’t understand how records are constantly being broken for the hottest weather in recorded history. And then if years later happens again, and then again, and again. Baa!
(((My comments are being made invisible by youtube.)))
It’s crazy how people allow their minds to be captured by the oil business and billionaires don’t understand how records are constantly being broken for the hottest weather in recorded history. And then a few years later it happens again, and then again.
They understand how lobbyists like From Pharma have captured so much power, yeah they don’t think it applies to other places.
Smfh. Baa!
Satellites and chemtrailing!!
Where I live temperatures are usually around 100 to 110 this time of year. It's actually much cooler this year. Take your psyop and shove it.
All global temps are taken at some uneducated right-wingers house.
😂 🤤
Oooo wow you take one example cite it as an example of the truth for everything. typical far right logic.
@pidgey824 From someone that thinks a man can give birth.
You actually proved the point . The average temps are going up and it will and has changed the weather patterns. some area's will cool down but some will get even hotter and storms will be more extremes and some areas that have had rain may not go up in temp but will not get rain. All out food and industry jobs and everything else is set to certain weather patterns . That will change faster and faster.
Ahh, found the source of hot air.
HAHAHAHA frickin hilarious
A wise man told me,,temperature is not an exact science. Can you define a * degree ? A dollar or a gallon or a pound yes. A degree * ,, no
Temperature is well defined. Is is as "exactly" defined as a kilo, meter, etc. A dumb man once told you the opposite.
LOL he was drunk
Its the end of the world as we know it, and I FEEL FINE! Zero fucks given
What the F can we do about anyway??? Lol.
@@txmetalhead82xk CO2 isn;t even real. I can't see it, so it doesn't exist.
@@txmetalhead82xk Exactly! It's called "weather and seasons"
Of course you do. Until you realize that climate change actually affects you and you still have years before you're on your death bed.
So many won’t care until they are impacted.
YUP And in away they will be unprepared > Can Darwinism be making a come back? We have been breeding idiots (Maga) For many years now.
Impacted by a warm summer..scary stuff.
Revelation 21:1 KJV And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
The weather has changed since the beginning of time. God knew what would happen and He is in control
Oh, cool. Then obviously I don’t need to look both ways before I cross the street. Obviously you don’t. And it’s worked out. Thanks.
Actually according to Christianity we are the custodian's of the earth. That means it our job to take care of the earth an keep it clean
عالی
BS
Lol climate change. 🤦
Do you understand why people are protesting yet? We are running out of time
Those protesters aren't people they are freaks
And by the way I was in a Cult called Jehovah's witnesses & they Were climate zealots always Believing in an Armageddon that never happened but Your CLIMITOLOGY NEW SECULAR CULT IS THE SAmE THING
Most of the hottest Tim’s on record in the United States, or recorded between 1911 and the 1930S , but nice try
BWAHAHAHA! You are listening to extreme propaganda!
Nope you are.
@@pidgey824 👈👈 😂🤣😂

So dusty fan 😂😂
