The past two weeks have witnessed the worst forest fires in Colorado
history, a deadly Mid-Atlantic storm that left 23 dead and four million
without power, and a record shattering heatwave across the East Coast
and Midwest that has not seen since the Dust Bowl. More than 2,000 heat
records have been broken in the past week. As the words "extreme
weather" flash across TV screens, where are the other two words: "global
warming"? We speak to The Guardian’s U.S. environment correspondent
Suzanne Goldenberg and Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at the
Weather Underground website. "What we’re seeing now is the future,"
Masters says. "We’re going to be seeing a lot more weather like this, a
lot more impacts like we’re seeing from this series of heatwaves, fires
and storms... This is just the beginning."
