Not cool: How Climate Change Is Making Northern Cities Less Livable Without AC

Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss the northward spread of extreme heat, a climate change effect that is no longer limited to the South and West.

As extreme weather spreads beyond historically affected areas, they highlight the urgency of addressing this growing, widespread issue.
