That's according to the European Climate Service Copernicus, based on averages for the globe as a whole. People have felt the consequences of climate change in the recent heat, with a number of heat-related deaths reported across the country. Over the weekend, a motorcyclist in Death Valley died from heat exposure, and four more heat-related deaths were reported in Oregon.
