According to a new report by IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the deadly heat waves, floodsdroughts are disturbing the(life) of thousands of people from the American West to southern Europe and central China. And they will be likely only to get(bad) as global temperatures continue to rise. "So far, all regions of the world(affect) by some extremes," says Sonia Seneviratne, an environmental(science). "We can link extreme weather to climate change in same way we can link cancer to smoking, " says Friederike Otto, one of the report's authors. And, like smoking, the damage is hard(disappear), Otto says. The most important thing, experts say, is to make sure these events don't grow even more common and intensethey are now. "I feel(strong) that the public needs to know that dangerous climate change is here and now, " says Michael Wehner, an extreme weather researcher. To limit global warming to just 2℃, Wehner says, "It's my feeling that we would have to do something rather extreme." Something extreme, he adds, means completely(get) rid of consumption of coal, oil, and natural gas.
