Earth is boiling under record-high

temperatures. Global heat waves have
landed thousands of people in the hospital
and fueled massive wildfires in places
ranging from Greece to the Arctic Circle.

A city outside Tokyo in Japan is facing

scorching temperatures of almost 106
degrees Fahrenheit (41.1 degrees Celsius).
 
At least 86 people have died of heatstroke
there since May, and 23,000 people have   Text III - CARTOON – CLIMATE CHANGE
been hospitalized just in the past week, The
New York Times reported.

record temperatures. In Sweden, an extreme
heat wave caused multiple wildfires to erupt
last week — some in the Arctic Circle. Also
last week, Greece faced deadly wildfires
fueled by extreme temperatures and high
winds, killing more than 80 people, The
Washington Post reported.

Earlier this month, Ouargla, a city in

Algeria, probably logged the highest
temperature ever recorded in Africa: 124.3  
degrees F (51.3 degrees C), according to the

night in recorded history and the highest low IN A DECADE STORMS EVERY YEAR NOW?
