Earth's weather is getting weirder. Here's why.

Earth 's climate has changed dramatically over its 4.5 billion-year history.

As the world gets warmer, heat waves are becoming more frequent and more intense.

Extreme weather events attributable to climate change cost the world $143 billion USD per year , according to a research paper published in the Journal Nature in 2023 .

Climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe says we are all affected by climate change.

In June , heavy rain swept across Switzerland , France and Italy causing landslides and torrential floods, at least seven people are reported to have been killed.

Wildfires have destroyed over 1.7 million acres of land during the first three months of 2024 in the U.S. Wildfire seasons are also coming earlier and lasting longer.

Scientists predict an increase in lightning frequency for every degree of global warming.

Two main types of air turbulence affect air travel, one is from thunderstorms and the other is called "clear air" turbulence.

Turbulence caused by thunderstorms likely to increase because the frequency of thunderstorms is increasing due to climate change.

Under specific climate change scenarios, it could become four times more frequent by 2050 compared to historical levels.
