Right in the middle of Danger Season , we are going through a period of unprecedented global extreme temperatures driven by fossil-fueled climate change. The unrelenting heat has caused a dizzying number of air and ocean temperature records to be broken in recent weeks. High ocean temperatures also fuel tropical storms.
