Millions of Americans alter daily routines due to increased heatwaves caused by climate change.

Extreme heat due to climate change forces millions of Americans to spend more time indoors during summer, leading to changes in daily routines and activities. Rising temperatures since the 1960s have increased the frequency, intensity, and duration of heatwaves. This has led to the cancellation of summer camps, classes, and sports events, while exacerbating health risks such as heart attacks and kidney failure. Climate scientists warn that unless fossil fuel emissions are reduced, global temperatures will continue to rise.
