	Anthropogenic	United States	Heat Waves	2012	60	(Duffy and Tebaldi, 2012)	https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-012-0396-6	Analysis of observations and climate model results shows that previously rare (5th percentile) summertime average temperatures are presently occurring with greatly increased frequency in some regions of the 48 contiguous United States...this result is more consistent with the consequences of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations than with the effects of natural climate variability
	Temporal	Global	Heat Waves	2014	306	(Russo et al., 2014)	https://doi.org/10.1002/2014JD022098	Results show that the percentage of global area affected by heat waves has increased in recent decades...In the 11 years between 2002 and 2012, the percentage of global area affected by moderate (HWMI >=2), severe (HWMI >=3), and extreme (HWMI >=4) heat waves was threefold greater than in the previous periods (1980-1990 and 1991-2001)
	Anthropogenic	Global	Heat Waves	2016	55	(Knutson & Ploshay, 2016)	https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-016-1708-z	As a heat stress metric we use a simplified wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index...our analysis suggests that there has been a detectable anthropogenic increase in mean summertime heat stress since 1973, both globally and in most land regions analyzed.
	Warming	China	Heat Waves	2020	16	(Xie et al., 2020)	https://doi.org/10.1007/s00704-020-03285-2	Since the 1960s, the frequencies of the mild, moderate, severe, and extreme heat waves in China have increased significantly with rates of 7.5, 4.3, 1.4, and 1.8 events per year, respectively.
	Anthropogenic	Global	Heat Waves	2020	18	(Chambers, 2020)	https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-020-02884-2	Heatwaves have become more frequent and intense due to anthropogenic global warming... from 1980 to 2018... we demonstrated that there is a clear trend in increasing heatwave days globally.
