Beat The Heat Broward

Global and local temperatures fluctuate in response to seasonal changes, astrological and geological events, and recurring oceanic and atmospheric phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña. However, average global temperatures have exhibited an accelerated upward trend since the onset of the industrial age in the 1700s consistent with the exponential increase in atmospheric concentration of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs, mainly CO2) from anthropogenic activity such as fossil fuel consumption. As average global temperatures continue to climb, South Florida is feeling the heat. Last year in 2021, the average temperature in Broward County was 3.7 degrees warmer than it was in 1921.
