Rising Temperatures and Soaring Concerns: The Summer of Extreme Heat By: Reverend Leo Woodberry

In the Pacific Islands: Rising sea levels due to polar ice melt affect coastal areas, leading to erosion and has displaced communities. In Antarctica/South Pole: Warming temperatures affect polar ecosystems and contribute to global sea-level rise, impacting coastal regions worldwide. The Way Forward Efforts to mitigate these impacts include improving infrastructure resilience, promoting energy-efficient practices, and raising awareness about heat-related risks. These actions must be part of a broader strategy to combat climate change. As this summer's extreme heat conditions lay bare the severity of global warming, it's imperative that we act decisively. We must prioritize sustainable practices, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and work collectively, as a global community, to confront the challenges that extreme heat and climate change present. Our future depends on it.
