Climate Crisis Driving Record-High Temperatures in Pacific Northwest
--------------------------------------------------------------------

An unprecedented heat wave fueled by the climate crisis is set to bring
dangerously high record temperatures to the Pacific Northwest. Seattle
will be hotter than Miami this weekend, with forecasters predicting it
could reach 106 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday. Portland, Oregon, could
see a record-shattering 113 degrees. In Canada, Vancouver Island is
expected to break all-time record highs that, in turn, were broken last
Monday.
