The study says that people will experience 18 heat waves in their life time, up from 11. A heatwave could be as short as 2 days, or a couple of days or longer. They worry that the temp. Could rise by 3.5C despite current polices will keep us at about 2.4C. It is a bit fearmonger-ey once you read the methodology. They are basing it if you live in Belgium.

The UK just had a "heatwave," which was about 26C+ or so, still far from the highest of 34.8C which is the highest recorded in 30+ years.

Pollution is a bigger problem, with plastic being found in kids developing brains, for example.
