Pacific Northwest heat wave caused by human-made climate change

Seattle, July 9 (RHC)-- A new analysis by the World Weather Attribution network finds this summer’s record-shattering heat wave in the Pacific Northwest would have been “virtually impossible without human-caused climate change.”  

The study also warned that as the human-induced climate crisis continues to heat the planet, such events will become a lot less rare. 

The high temperature in Lytton, British Columbia, hit 121 degrees on June 29 — one day before a massive wildfire destroyed most of the town. The heat wave is blamed for up to 500 deaths in British Columbia, 78 deaths in Washington state and 116 in Oregon.
