rate of global warming and national policies that fail to make necessarycuts in pollution,climate events such as heat waves will continue to rise,scientists say.Thatleaves children of younger generations facing a severe threat0 to their safety,according tothe studys authors.The study researched extreme climate events such as heat waves,droughts,cropfailures,floods,and wildfires.Researchers
