Climate change in US

In September 2021, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) was held in Glasgow, Scotland, with the aim of accelerating global action on climate change. World leaders and activists gathered to discuss ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. According to the National Weather Service, a heat wave is a period of abnormally hot weather that lasts more than two days. It occurs when a high-pressure system moves over an area and forces air downward. Warm air at the ground that would normally rise to the cooler upper atmosphere and create rain is instead trapped in place.
