South Texas' current heat levels would be 'virtually impossible' without climate change, report says

The extreme heat broiling South Texas and Northern Mexico this summer would be "virtually impossible" without humans burning large quantities of fossil fuels, according to data released Tuesday by  World Weather Attribution. WWA, an international group of scientists who measure how much climate change influences extreme weather events, also warned that more dangerous heat is likely on the way. "Without climate change, we wouldn't see this at all," Friedrike Otto, a senior lecturer in climate science at Imperial College in London, told the New York Times.
