This week on "Sunday Morning" (Aug. 16)

The upcoming broadcast of "CBS News Sunday Morning" on August 16 will delve into a "summer of extremes," focusing on the escalating climate crisis and its impact on creating a hotter, more dangerous planet. July marked the hottest month on record for the Lower 48 states, surpassing a record previously set during the Dust Bowl era.

Correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti will speak with climate journalist Jeff Goodell, author of "The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet," and atmospheric scientist Maria Molina from the University of Maryland. They will explore how changes in Earth's climate are increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, including heat waves, wildfires, and hurricanes.

Beyond the climate discussion, the program will explore the cultural significance of trophy belt buckles, often considered the "highly-prized currency" of cowboy culture. Correspondent Ian Lee visits the Professional Bull Riders World Championship and speaks with artisans from Montana Silversmiths about this tradition. Additionally, "Sunday Morning" features the unique journey of Lovina Zook, a 23-year-old who left the Amish community and found success as a social media influencer, sharing Amish stories and recipes with millions online.

The broadcast also includes a look back at historical events on the date in the "Almanac" segment, a political report by Robert Costa, and a remembrance of notable figures who passed away this week in "Passage." The show, hosted by Jane Pauley, streams on the CBS News app in addition to its broadcast on CBS.
