Former Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate has highlighted the role of climate change in the current heatwave sweeping across the United States. Fugate pointed out that the combination of extremely high temperatures and low humidities is leading to severe droughts and wildfires in regions not typically affected by such conditions.
According to Fugate, the country appears to be facing a series of extreme weather events one after another, indicating a concerning trend. He emphasized that climate change is a contributing factor to the intensification of these weather phenomena, stating that the climate has already undergone significant changes.
