New York City Reaches 70 Degrees Farenheit in January

US Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reports her observation of air temperatures reaching 70 degrees Farenheit (21 degrees Celsius) in January of 2020.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted:

Our oceans are heating up, Australia is on fire, and New York City just hit 70 degrees in January.

This is just the beginning of our climate crisis.

We’re not going to solve this in time w/ gentle tweaks to the corporate tax code - we must invest in a #GreenNewDeal. 🌎 https://t.co/kiYnZJ2oWR
