TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that a multivariate viewpoint is necessary for assessing risk of extreme events, especially in a warming climate, and discuss a methodology for assessing the risk of concurrent extremes such as droughts and extreme temperatures.

TL;DR: It is shown that although there is no significant trend in meteorological drought, the concurrence of meteorological droughts and heatwaves shows statistically significant increases across the United States and the tail of the distribution of concurrent drought and heatwave conditions has shifted toward more frequent and extreme concurrent extremes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the threats posed by climate extremes to human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural and built environments (e.g., 2003 European heat wave).

TL;DR: The results suggest that future climate warming will lead to substantial increases in heat-related mortality, particularly in developing low-latitude countries, such as India, where heat waves will become more frequent and populations are especially vulnerable to these extreme temperatures.

TL;DR: Track connections between hurricanes, wildfires, climate change and other risks, urge Amir AghaKouchak and colleagues.
