Heat Waves to Rise
In Number, Intensity
By Betsy Mason and Mike Taugher
Searing heat waves like the one blanketing the state this week cannot be directly attributed to global warming, but scientists say the sweltering hot spell is no surprise. Like the intense hurricanes of 2005, there is no way for scientists to pin one season's weather anomalies onto a warming climate. But scientists say hurricanes and heat waves are now more likely to be more intense and frequent. "I think you cannot attribute a single heat wave to global warming," said Berkeley Lab earth scientistst Inez Fung. "But in the future there will be more of these heat waves because of global warming." Full story.
