Climate Change Responsible , for Record-Breaking Heat in July, Analysis Suggests.
NBC reports that a new analysis suggests that record heat in July would have been statistically unlikely if not for human-driven climate change.
Researchers at nonprofit group Climate Central found that over 80% of the world's population experienced extreme temperatures.
Prolonged heat waves struck the United States, Europe and China.
We really are experiencing climate change just about everywhere, Andrew Pershing, director of climate science for Climate Central, via NBC.
The analysis suggests that approximately 2 billion people experienced high temperatures that would have been statistically unlikely without human emissions.

Last month, scientists in Europe said that July was the hottest month ever recorded.
NBC reports that the world is on track to continue warming until it curbs its greenhouse gas emissions.

Temperatures are going to continue to rise and a July like this year eventually will start to look like an average year, or a cool year, Andrew Pershing, director of climate science for Climate Central, via NBC.
That’s the big challenge of climate change — is that things are moving so quickly in our system right now and until we get CO2 emissions under control they’re going to continue to move very, very quickly, Andrew Pershing, director of climate science for Climate Central, via NBC.

NBC reports that extreme temperatures in the United States have already been linked to the deaths of hikers and homeless people, crop losses and stressed power infrastructures.
