  "summary": "Climate change is putting 560 million children at serious health risk due to extra heat stress. According to Euronews, these children are living through at least one extra month of dangerous heat every year.\n\nThe impact of climate change on weather patterns is also being felt through El Niño events. Live Science reports that El Niño events have become nearly 40% stronger over the past four decades compared to the preindustrial era.\n\nResearchers, including Julia Cole, a professor at the University of Michigan, note that the strength of El Niño events is linked to global temperature warming. Live Science also states that forecasters expect the 2026 to 2027 El Niño to be a record event.",
