A new study has found that some cities in Indonesia are among the places that “climate shifts” have occurred the most, in that climate change has strongly influenced daily temperature and weather phenomena.

The nonprofit-news organization Climate Central recently launched the Global Climate Shift Index (CSI) that tried to quantify the local influence of climate change on daily temperatures around the world.

Climate Central director of climate science Andrew Pershing said that the index was created by analyzing the frequency of different temperatures in today’s climate, taking into account the effects from industrialization and land-use changes.
