A new study finds that human-caused climate change dialed up the heat and drastically increased the odds of this month’s killer heat that has been baking the Southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America

Human-caused climate change intensified and made far more likely this month's killer heat with triple digit temperatures, a new flash study found Thursday, June 20. Sizzling daytime temperatures that triggered cases of heat stroke in parts of the United States were 35 times more likely and 2.

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“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.

“We’re looking at a shifting baseline - what was once extreme but rare is becoming increasingly common,” said University of Southern California Marine Studies Chair Carly Kenkel, who wasn't part of the attribution team's study. She said the analysis is “the logical conclusion based on the data.”
