BEIJING, July 4, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - China's weather agency expects extreme heat to persist across the country this summer as climate change pushes global temperatures higher, state media reported Thursday. The Asian nation is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases that scientists say cause global warming and make extreme weather more frequent and intense. Swathes of northern China have already been baked by heat waves this summer, while unseasonably torrential rains have triggered deadly floods and landslides across much of the south. "Against the climatic backdrop of global warming, average temperatures will rise and the occurrence of high-temperature weather will tend to be frequent," the centre said, according to CCTV. Heat records at 20 local weather stations broke historical records, the report added.
