Extreme heat waves, devastating droughts, and resulting storms are examples of climate change cause now being connected to humans. According to a 2014 report from the United Nations (www.un.org), 75 percent of these heat events can be attributed to some sort of human activity.
The United Nations report claims that there is only a five percent chance that the events of global warming seen in the last 65 years happened due to natural causes and that it is due to a climate change cause that is connected to human doings. These doings could include everything from every day travel to work to using fossil fuels to pollution and more things that happen all over the world every day.

Using this data, the researchers claim that not only does 75 percent of the extreme heat instances in the work relate to human activity such as, for instance travel by plane or burning coal, but so does around 18 percent of extremes in precipitation.
These include things like extremes in temperature that resulted in disasters such as flooding, lightning strikes, power blackouts, and more, which causes not only a loss of money, but a loss of lives in many cases. The study says that things like heat waves and severe storms that are due to climate change cause that is connected to the actions of humans are far from rare in the past 100 years and global warming is the cause. The report shows that temperatures on Earth have risen about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since pre-industrial
