A study by NASA found that the risks of climate change are compounding as the planet warms. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that the impacts of climate change are not just getting worse, but they are also becoming more interconnected.
For example, the study found that the risk of wildfires is increasing as the planet warms, and that this is also increasing the risk of droughts and heat waves. This is because wildfires can destroy vegetation, which can lead to more evaporation and less rainfall.
The researchers also found that the risk of flooding is increasing as the planet warms, and that this is also increasing the risk of sea level rise. This is because melting glaciers and ice sheets are adding more water to the oceans, which is causing them to rise.
The study's authors say that these compounding risks are a major challenge for policymakers and for individuals. They say that we need to take urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Technology is a useful servant, but a dangerous master, it was rightly said. Electronic devices have grown into an inevitable part of our daily lives.
