Sadly, although we have yet to see a heat wave, 2024 promises to be even hotter, showing us how far the climate crisis has advanced. It’s no longer a problem of the future. Though the most affected people and places in the world have been leaders in raising awareness on the drastic and impending impacts of these statistics, sadly, international climate targets have largely failed and oil and gas corporations continue to extract fossil fuels.

Article by Sophie Somerville, Sex and relationships writer.
