Temperatures in Portland reached 180° this summer due to global warming

Democratic Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer claimed that parts of his district hit a scalding 180 degrees this summer during remarks at the ongoing United Nations climate summit.

“We are in a race against time,” the congressman said at a press conference Wednesday alongside several of his Democratic colleagues.

“It took on new urgency for me this year with the horrific events,” he continued. “There was one day this summer in Portland, where temperatures in the heart of my district hit 180 degrees. People died.”

Blumenauer, 73, added that the U.S., particularly President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats, were prepared to combat climate change through ambitious legislation and by partnering with the private sector. Blumenauer, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and about 20 other House Democrats traveled to the conference to engage in climate negotiations with world leaders this week.
