The deadly heat wave that roasted the Pacific Northwest and western Canada was virtually impossible without human-caused climate change that added a few extra degrees to the record-smashing temperatures, a new quick scientific analysis found.
An international team of 27 scientists calculated that climate change increased chances of the extreme heat occurring by at least 150 times, but likely much more.
The study, not yet peer-reviewed, said that before the industrial era, the region’s late June triple-digit heat was the type that would not have happened in human civilization. And even in today’s warming world, it said, the heat was a once-in-a-millennium event.

They just “say stuff”. I bet the “research” consisted of watching CNN for a few hours.
A heat dome for a few days and then it went away, That’s called weather. But why would the NY Post publish such transparent nonsense. They used to be a little more hard boiled about these hysterias.
The Pacific Northwest had an intensive heat wave like this back in the mid 30’s. Portland hit a high of 120 degrees.
“Quick” ; not “peer reviewed”
Uh, those are code for SWAG BS
Probably written by Poli Sci majors
No, it was hotter than now several times in the 1980s and 1990s.
LOL! My JEEP!
Again, no knowledge of history and apparently no need for facts of any kind.
Phony study. The Oregon heat wave ended a week ago and was followed by below average temperatures. The thermometer doesn’t lie — unless a liar reads it.
Used to be a group in Minnesota “Minnestoans for Global Warming”
—
They froze to death some winters ago as I recall in their shorts and halters, right?
Utter nonsense. Liars lie for money, and call themselves scientists.
yep,Geobbel’s warming is at it again.
Especially changing boiling oil.

Spoiler alert. The climate changes. We are still coming out of the last ice age 10000 years ago. We still have ice on both poles. That is not normal conditions.
A warm planet is a more common and optimal condition. It’s really hard to live under a mile of ice. So as the climate changes, one should hope for the warm side of cycle.
“a new quick scientific analysis found.”
The proper term for such things is pseudo-science.
AP once again scribbling for their audience of complete idiots.
Here’s he way of all these climate studies work. The “scientists” decide on the outcome they want. And that outcome is always Warning! Danger! Climate Change is killing us!
Then the data is twisted to fit that predetermined outcome.
Oh, an anyone on the team who objects to this is off the team.
Washington: 118 degrees in 1928 and 1961
Oregon: 119 degrees in 1898
Reminds me of the Iowa farmer who planted popcorn. At harvest the weather turned so hot the corn started popping and popped corn flew everywhere.
His team of mules saw it, thought it was snow and promptly froze to death.
