    Extreme heat wave breaks records in US, claims lives

    The national weather service reported on Sunday that around 36 million people, or about 10% of the nations population, are under excessive heat warnings resulting from the heat dome centered over California. Research indicates that climate change is responsible for driving extreme heat waves worldwide and will persist in delivering hazardous weather for years to come. In places like Washington state, Oregon, California, northern Arizona, and central Idaho, high temperatures are predicted to meet or surpass daily high records.
