Climate change made a heat wave that struck Western Europe and Northwest Africa in April at least 100 times more likely to occur, a new study finds.

• This is one in a string of studies to come to similar conclusions on extreme heat events.

Wildfires in western Canada have forced some 29,000 people to evacuate their homes as officials warned Sunday that conditions remained volatile.

The big picture: Asian Americans across the country are working to change that legacy of omission by leading climate organizations, protests and research.
