Climate change sparking bizarre 'temperature flips' around the world

Temperature flips are 'sudden shifts from extremely warm to cold or vice versa' These intense events can be particularly dangerous for humans and the environment.

Human-caused climate change has made temperature flips more frequent, intense, and faster for over 60 per cent of global regions since 1961 .

Low-income nations will be the worst affected, with increases in exposure to temperature flips four to six times greater than the global average.

The researchers warn that the number of people at risk could increase by over 100 per cent by the end of the century if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase.
