Read transcript
From 2016 to 2019, the world saw record-breaking heat waves, rampant wildfires,
and the longest run of category 5 tropical cyclones on record. The number of
extreme weather events has been increasing for the last 40 years, and current
predictions suggest that trend will continue. So, is the increase in extreme
weather due to random chance, or changing climate? R. Saravanan investigates.
