A new study reveals how human-caused climate change intensified the heat dome over North America, making it 34% larger and lasting nearly 60% longer.
The heat dome contributed to up to a third of the area burned in North America, with researchers noting its association with extreme heat and dryness increasing flammability.
The heat dome persisted for 27 days, causing devastating impacts like mass deaths, marine life loss, and infrastructure damage, highlighting the severe consequences of climate change.
