Louisville’s rate of warming has outpaced rural areas and is more than double the rate planetwide. And the numbers also show that Louisville might be getting hotter faster than other large cities across the United States. “With extreme heat now accounting for more deaths annually than … all other forms of extreme weather combined, the threat of such a rapid rate of increase in urban temperatures in Louisville should be taken very seriously,” said Stone, who is also the author of the new book, “The City and the Coming Climate: Climate Change in the Places We Live.”
