- Parts of the U.S. are bracing for a major heat wave this week, and climate researchers say it’s only going to get worse.
- According to climate scientist Kristina Dahl, we can expect more and more days of “dangerous heat” in the coming decades if more efforts are not taken to combat climate change.
- In fact, Dahl says by the year 2050 we could see the heat index over 100 degrees for an entire month at a time.
