Are heat waves increasing due to global warming and climate change? News media accounts regarding the July 2018 heat wave constantly suggest that, but Dr. Khandekar says it's more a matter of 'perception is reality' - the evidence shows heat waves are not increasing, and by contrast to many hot places where people live, like Qatar, it's balmy here, even on the hottest day. Climate scientist Dr. Madhav Khandekar is a former Environment Canada research scientist, past IPCC expert reviewer, WMO regional expert, long-term member of CMOS - Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society.
