Climate change is making giant heat waves crawl slower across the globe and they are baking more people for a longer time with higher temperatures over larger areas, a new study finds.
Since 1979, global heat waves are moving 20% more slowly — meaning more people stay hot longer — and they are happening 67% more often, according to a study in Friday’s Science Advances. The study found the highest temperatures in the heat waves are warmer than 40 years ago and the area under a heat dome is larger.
Studies have shown heat waves worsening before, but this one is more comprehensive and concentrates heavily on not just temperature and area, but how long the high heat lasts and how it travels across continents, said study co-authors and climate scientists Wei Zhang of Utah State University and Gabriel Lau of Princeton University.
“This paper sends a clear warning that climate change makes heat waves yet more dangerous in more ways than one,” said Lawrence Berkeley National Lab climate scientist Michael Wehner, who wasn’t part of the research.
Just like in an oven, the longer the heat lasts, the more something cooks. In this case it’s people, the co-authors said.

Wait it was global warming or some other nonsense back then
Did you see this LOL
a new study suggests global warming has accelerated the Earth’s rotation, affecting the way we measure time.

I’m not surprised as we were coming out of a small cold period. Times magazine putout in the early seventies that we were heading to an ice age. So temps started rising in 1979? Ok
Pseudo-scientists will tell any lie for money, and misguided people will then republish their lies on FR.
Wow, this is the third “climate fear porn” that I’ve seen today. The science-challenged media is going all out today for obvious reasons. Sorry, low IQ journalists, not buying it. If you clowns are serious, is the Biden Clown Show “infrastructure” bill improving the grids? Is it providing more reliable power? Oh, what about the vast majority of our “renewable” stuff coming from our number one enemy, China? I really hope you media types are the first to go when we experience major blackouts. We’ll always have enough energy to find you...and do what is necessary.
I’m getting so sick of these freaks. Real scientists and data analysts who stick to facts and just go where the data lead them are having to get jobs as waiters and desk jockeys now, while those who suck up to globalism and parrot the sayings of maniacs like Schwab and Fauci are getting rich with little effort.
I keep wondering where these AP functional idiots and pseudo-scientists think they will go once the USA slides into the abyss. Do they really think 0bama is going to let them onto his private island? LOL!!
Prepare, everyone! Prepare for the crash. It is coming.
Odd. My study says that since 1968, tyranny is three times as strong and much more pervasive due to propaganda and falsehoods from AP. My study may not be as sciency as theirs, though.
So what explains the brutal heat wave in April 12, 1972? It reached 102 degrees in Tulsa OK. Highest ever in Tulsa. And that was during THE COMING ICE AGE hysteria. some places had higher temps. It was even hotter than the same week in the 1930s.

Thanks for posting that AP is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC.
A “study”. Sounds official and reliable. Hahahahahaha I crack me up!! Hahaha
We are all going to freeze to death/burn to death.....
Take your pick...”Scientists” will agree with whichever you pick...
Don Imus used to say,
[This kind of crap] “...makes my hair hurt.”
First it was global cooling. Next it was global warming.
Now it’s climate change that’s going to kill us
It’s all male bovine excrement.

As always the cure is rationing and more taxes for the peasants, global government and wealth transfers to elites like Bill Gates and George Soros.

Free movie is out exposing the climate change/globull warming scam.

As I recall, 1976 was a low point in temperatures, which had dropped from the 1930's.
So saying the climate became warmer since then, is saying the climate returned to a more "normal" temperature.
Picking the beginning and end points of a "study" is a good way to lie with statistics.
Yeah, it’s funny they choose 1979 as a base to start from. Especially considering temperature data do go back a LOT further.
