AUSTIN, Texas — For nearly a decade, climate scientist Tyanyi Sun has been working to find solutions to one of the world’s biggest problems: climate change.
“For decades and decades, we’ve been extracting fossil fuels and energy that releases too much greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and they act like this blanket over our planet,” Sun said. “So, our planet is warming faster than ever recorded.” Combined with an El Niño event, the results have been deadly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports in Texas more than a dozen people have already died from heat-related illnesses and emergency room visits are up to almost 200 per 100,000 patients. A dangerous trend to monitor, said University of Texas-Austin geosciences professor Dev Niyogi.
Niyogi and Sun said it’s not just the heat but extreme weather, too, that is a direct result of the changing climate.
