Explainer | Heatwaves in Canada, US Reportedly Kill Hundreds. Why It's a Wake-up Call For All.

Unprecedented heatwaves in Canada and the northwest United States have, over the past week, reportedly led to hundreds of deaths. Meteorologists and experts believe that the heatwave has been caused by a dome of high pressure over the northwest, worsened by human-induced climate change. Besides 'sudden' deaths, the heatwave has triggered massive wildfires in the two neighbouring countries. #CanadaHeatwave #USHeatwave #ClimateChange #Heatwave #CanadaWildfires #USWildfires #HeatDome Video: Twitter/The Quint Music: BMG Support The Quint's independent journalism.
