As the world hits an alarming climate milestone, a new report by a US research team shows the staggering amount of extreme heat days each country experienced last year, with the majority made more likely by human-induced climate change.

Climate Central vice-president for science Andrew Pershing said the figures illustrated the “huge burden” the burning of fossil fuels imposed on people around the world

“Australia didn’t have a particularly interesting summer this year, but in Africa it’s just day after day after day of climate change just beating down on that continent.”

    LoL yeah. People getting upset because has prices are inconvenient.

    Wait till they see what’s around the corner with this ecological disaster. Gas prices will be the least of their worry.

    Can’t grow crops when the whole soil is too dry and the air is too hot to grow anything. Or when there’s flash floods all the time. Or extreme weather conditions and your home has been destroyed.
