Driven by climate change, heat waves and drought go hand in hand. And in one U.S. city, heat kills as many people as homicide.

"Most summers these days are the hottest summer ever. What overlays that is just a creeping risk of antiquated infrastructure … and those trends are converging at the wrong time," Stone said.,or about 104 Fahrenheit – 30 degrees hotter than typical summer temperatures in a country where less than 5% of homes were estimated to have air conditioning, CBS News foreign correspondent Roxana Saberi reports.

"Climate change has everything to do with the extreme weather that we're seeing at the moment, and it's human-induced climate change. It's not a natural variation," Kirsty McCabe, a meteorologist at the U.K.'s Royal Meteorological Society, told CBS News correspondent Roxana Saberi. The extreme heat has contributed to wildfires in the U.K. and across Europe – including in France, Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal.

"We used to look at polar bears, and then we used to say, 'This is about our children and our grandchildren.'" Nachmany said."This isn't. This is us. This is here. This is now."

It’s summer

The weather always changes.

Can’t believe it got hot in July…again!

I would think that if it were unusually hot, we'd see all sorts of temp records broken. ? Looks like a normal Summer to me.

They have been warning of this for years. And of catastrophic flooding. People too stupid and/or too greedy to pay attention. Particularly looking at you, republicans.

You cannot f' with Mother Nature no matter how hard you try !!!

Interesting that it's hot every summer. Science is awesome.

Remember in summer it’s hot not climate hoax 🤡

Propaganda being forced down our throats

If only we get one I February

It's late July. Its going to be hot. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We should pat ourselves on the back for doing a great job at destroying the only planet we have and two pats on the back for ignoring the signs because like the famous one once said “It’ll start getting cooler. You just watch,” sure but you believed him!!!

LOL summer is hot. Who knew.

Sky is falling. Not.

Unless the whole World is on board, we are pissing into the wind. There is no guarantee zero Co2 will change anything. Plant bio engineered super absorbing Co2 trees. Install Co2 scrubber in front grill of all vehicles, as they pass through air, they clean it. Sun Drives Earth

But far more people die from cold.

Driven by the same climate we've ways had...weather does the same thing is does every few years.

Cold kills 5x as many people annually. A warming world is safer.
