00:00From devastating floods to scorching heatwaves,
00:02climate change is rewriting the rules of extreme weather.
00:05Rising global temperatures are making these events more frequent and more intense.
00:10Here's how it works.
00:12Warmer air holds more moisture, fueling heavier rains.
00:16Deadly floods in Europe, like those in Spain and Central Europe,
00:19are now twice as likely due to human-caused warming.
00:23Meanwhile, rising heat is extending droughts.
00:26Regions like East Africa suffered five failed rainy seasons, displacing millions.
00:32And wildfires thrive on hotter, drier conditions.
00:36Canada faced its worst wildfire season ever in 2023,
00:40with climate change doubling the chances of extreme fire weather.
00:44Heatwaves, too, are becoming deadlier.
00:47In Mali, temperatures soared past 48 degrees Celsius this year,
00:51impossible without climate change.
00:54From floods to wildfires, the science is clear.
00:56Climate change is making extremes our new normal.
00:59Let's act now before it's too late.
