Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere and cause the Earth to heat up.
Human-caused global warming is causing heat records to fall more frequently.
Climate change also makes it more humid.
That's particularly dangerous because it's harder for sweat to evaporate, making it harder for the body to cool down.
As climate researchers say, global warming isn't a who-dun it mystery.
The primary driver is humans burning planet heating fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal.
Scientists say we already have scalable solutions that can cut climate pollution like wind and solar energy combined with large battery systems.

Endangered whales and sea turtles, tropical seabirds and black coral live in the vast area in the Pacific. President George W. Bush originally established the monument and President Obama expanded it. While the Trump administration argues that this move to open the area for commercial fishing will help that industry, some ecologists argue the opposite.
That's because protected areas can allow space for fish to spawn more successfully. Julia Simon, NPR News.
This year was really all about the money. How much money wealthy countries would give to developing countries to help them adapt to climate change and reduce their pollution.
It's really fraught because developing countries, they did the least to cause global warming and And they're looking for a big number from wealthy countries to help them do things like buy solar panels and wind turbines, things to help them move away from fossil fuels.
Yeah, going into the talks, the number had been $100 billion a year for all developing countries. And if you think about it, this really isn't that much money. Right. In Colombia, they are looking for a plan to transition their economy away from fossil fuels and adapt to climate change. They are looking at $40 billion. They're one country.
Many countries wanted at least $1.3 trillion a year. What? But as of late last week, they were not getting anything close to a trillion. As of Friday, the proposed number was $250 billion. Here's the representative from Bolivia responding to that number.
I talked to Jessica Green about it. She's a professor of political science at the University of Toronto.
