Extreme U.S. Temperature Swings: How Climate Change is Creating Drastic Differences

Doug McIntyre highlights the extreme temperature differences across the United States as evidence of climate change. While Oregon experiences a chilly 30 degrees, New York City swelters with a heat index of 101 degrees, and Phoenix hits 110 degrees. McIntyre explains that these variations are due to different weather patterns affecting the East and West coasts. Warm air from Florida and Michigan is heating the East Coast, while cool air from the Pacific and Canada keeps Oregon cold. This dramatic contrast in temperatures across the country illustrates the impacts of climate change.
