Heat is becoming a global problem. Extreme heat increases dramatically even with global temperature being just ~1.5 °C above preindustrial in the past months. Global mean temperature is 71% ocean surface which keeps cooler. But we live on land.

@rahmstorf if we intend on effectively communicating climate temperatures to Americans then we must use Farhenheit. They will only gloss over articles.

The headline is a kind of funny. As far as I understand, extreme heatwaves are one of the results of climate change and so they are normal at all. Typo?
