Record Heatwaves Continue: American West Faces 110-Degree Days After Summer
Doug McIntyre highlights the intense heatwave affecting the American West even after summer’s end. Cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, and parts of California face temperatures exceeding 110 degrees, with Phoenix experiencing nearly 100 consecutive days of extreme heat. This unprecedented heat is a stark sign of worsening climate change, with dangerous consequences: people can’t go outside, construction stops, and those without air conditioning suffer, with some fatalities. The economic impact is significant as outdoor work halts, and this heatwave could potentially extend into winter.
