CLEAN : Climate change makes heat wave 'much more severe' in US, Canada: scientist

The video discusses the impact of climate change on heat waves, highlighting how it intensifies these events beyond historical records. It uses the analogy of steroids to explain how climate change makes extreme weather more common. The video also predicts future climate scenarios, emphasizing the role of emissions in shaping these outcomes and the importance of mitigating further damage.

How does climate change affect the severity of heat waves?

• It only affects heat waves in deserts.

• It makes them more severe.

• It has no effect on them.

• It makes them less severe.

What analogy is used to describe the effect of climate change on weather?

• Climate change is like a cooling system.

• Climate change is like steroids for the weather.

• Climate change is like a natural disaster.

• Climate change is like a gentle breeze.

What is the main point of the analogy comparing climate change to steroids?

• It implies climate change has no impact on weather.

• It suggests climate change makes weather events less likely.

• It indicates climate change increases the likelihood of extreme weather events.

• It means climate change only affects sports events.

What can be done to prevent extreme weather events from becoming more frequent?

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• Ignore climate change.

• Increase greenhouse gas emissions.

• Move to cooler regions.

What is the expected outcome if emissions are not reduced?

• Global temperatures will decrease.

• Extreme weather events will become more common.

• The climate will return to 1900s conditions.

• Weather events will become less frequent.
