NASA data shows intensifying weather events
NASA's latest research says floods, droughts, and other wild weather have ramped up in both intensity and frequency over the past five years.
Scientists point to global warming as the main reason—and it's happening faster than earlier predictions suggested.
Link between rising temperatures and more extreme weather
Using satellite data, researchers tracked how big, long-lasting, and intense these events have become.
The findings show a strong link between rising temperatures and more extreme weather.
Experts warn that our cities and systems just aren't built to handle this level of chaos—which could mean trouble for food supplies, health, and daily life.
We need to adapt quickly, say experts
Experts say we need to adapt quickly—think better planning for disasters—and cut emissions fast if we want to avoid even worse impacts.
As the Met Office puts it, sticking to old ways won't work anymore; we need to prepare for a much wilder climate.
