evidence: Between the baking heat outdoors and news alerts of extreme events on our screens, it feels like our weather is always breaking records. It’s important to understand the relationship between record-breaking weather and climate change so we can prepare in our daily lives and know how to adapt for the future. [...] More record-breaking weather is an indicator that the climate is changing. Why? [...] Greenhouse gas emissions have been impacting our atmosphere for a long time, and we know that when we’re talking about our atmosphere over a long time, we’re talking about climate. The gradual warming causes our daily weather to change, which is why we are beginning to experience extreme temperatures more often, and why more and more record-high temperatures are occurring.
