 As Desi mentioned, record heat is not only a problem in the U.S. right now. Much of the world is also suffering under similar and arguably worse climate-fueled heat waves. As we reported in our Green News report last week, the annual Muslim pilgrimage to the sacred city of Mecca that wrapped up last week became a death march. Originally, we reported that 500 had died. Then 1,000 were reported as dead, and now more than 1,300 died.
