Fossil fuels are turbo-charging extreme weather events and people all over the world are suffering the consequences. While international Oil and Gas Companies count their billions, vulnerable communities especially in the Global South are counting the losses<\/a> from the record-breaking floods, wildfires, droughts, and heat waves<\/a> that these companies are fueling. <\/p>\n\n

Experts say that extreme heat waves will become increasingly frequent and severe due to climate change in the coming years. June was Earth’s hottest on record<\/a>, topping the mark just set in 2023 and extending the stretch of record-hot months to over a year, according to the European Union\u2019s Copernicus Climate Change Service. Scorching heat across five continents set 1,400 records in June. Billions of people felt the deadly intensity of these heat waves.<\/p>\n
