El Niño and Fossil Fuels Drive Unseasonable Heat Records Across the US

Parts of the United States are experiencing unusually warm temperatures that feel more like summer than the current season. Heat records are being broken across affected regions, with climate scientists pointing to El Niño as a key contributing factor. El Niño is a natural climate pattern that periodically warms ocean surface temperatures, influencing weather conditions globally. However, experts emphasize that the long-term burning of fossil fuels is amplifying the intensity of these heat events. The combination of natural climate variability and human-driven climate change is making such extreme temperature anomalies more frequent and severe.
