A powerful El Nino climate pattern is intensifying extreme weather around the world, bringing deadly floods, droughts and record heat.
Scientists say the natural climate pattern is being amplified by human-caused climate change, increasing the risk of unprecedented impacts.
A new report has warned that more than 450,000 additional heat-related deaths could occur during this El Nino, with countries across Africa, Southeast Asia, India and Brazil facing the greatest threat.
Researchers say today’s extreme temperatures could become the norm within the next two decades without stronger climate adaptation efforts.
