Heat waves are being recorded all across the United States. Record-breaking temperatures have many cities on high alert, with most issuing heat warnings that the weather outside “feels like” temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. What’s behind this scorching summer?

The Rundown’s Dave Anthony caught up with Bjorn Lomborg, President of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, to get insight on why these heat waves have become so frequent for regions across the globe. 

He breaks down the impact global warming is having on average temperatures and provides potential solutions for cities to cool down. Later, he explains why a rapid switch to green energy will only hurt America’s poorest and how technical innovation may be the key to combating climate change.

Due to time limitations, we could not include our entire conversations in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear the complete interview with the author of ‘False Alarm,’ Bjorn Lomborg.
