Secondly, there need to be some long-term plans such as cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions and also adapt to the hotter climate by modifying the built environments. Heat action plans can be organised as early warning systems to help people deal with such events. In other words, the researchers are saying that if emission levels continue to rise, which in turn would increase average global temperatures, extreme heat waves will become less rare than they are today. This is to say that an event which is considered extremely rare (occurring once in about 1000 years) could occur roughly every five to ten years. Significantly, at the current rates of emissions, when the world is warmer by 2☌ (0.8☌ more than what it is today) around the 2040s, a typical heatwave type of event could be at least another degree hotter.
They also note that this heatwave was 2☌ hotter than it would have been if it had occurred at the beginning of the industrial revolution (around late 1700s) when the global average temperatures were 1.2☌ cooler than what they are today. The researchers are saying that in the absence of human-induced climate change, the heatwave such as seen recently in the Pacific Northwest would have been 150 times rarer.
