Many world leaders and climate researchers have suggested that the current situation is a consequence of climate change and a climate emergency should be declared and necessary actions should be taken to address this issue.

Climate activists like Greta Thunberg and Al Gore have already stepped forward and warned the world that the current heat wave is an alarming sign of a possible climate crisis in the future.
