Rising Temperatures Impact 97% of U.S. Cities

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a Climate Central study showing that 97% of U.S. cities have experienced rising temperatures since 1970. The average increase across 241 cities was 2.4 degrees Fahrenheit, with some cities—such as Reno, El Paso, and Las Vegas—seeing temperature rises of over 6 degrees. Given the widespread nature of this warming, the trend is expected to persist in the coming years.
