Fearsome Events

My Way News - Bacon fries on pavement as heat wave grips China
My Way News reports: "The heat wave - the worst in at least 140 years in some parts - has left dozens of people dead and pushed thermometers above 40 degrees C (104 F) in at least 40 cities and counties, mostly in the south and east. Authorities for the first time have declared the heat a "level 2" weather emergency- a label normally invoked for typhoons and flooding. [...] Climate scientists usually caution that they can't attribute a single weather event like the Chinese heat wave to man-made global warming. But 'human-caused warming sure ups the odds of heat waves like this one,' said Jonathan Overpeck of the University of Arizona. The Chinese heat wave 'gives a very real face to what global warming is all about,' he wrote in an email."
