Originally published by Deceleration, a nonprofit online journal producing original news and analysis responding to our shared ecological, political, and cultural crises.

With temps expected to reach well above 10 degrees over the area’s historical average highs, Climate Central researchers have determined much of the heat arriving will have been made at least five times more likely due to fossil fuel-driven climate change.
