New York City had the worst air quality ever recorded here Wednesday. NickJCaloway spoke to experts about the role climate change played in this dangerous air.
"This, coming from wildfires in Canada being blown into our area, is unprecedented in the records I've looked at going back more than 50 years," said David Robinson, a professor at Rutgers Climate Institute and New Jersey's state climatologist."We do know that Canada was particularly warm in the month of May. Snow cover over North America was at a record low level going back at least 50 years.
The wind will eventually give us some relief, but Pope says until the fires up north are under control, New York City could still be affected. "So it may go on for a while this summer. And it's possible if we get the right wind directions, we could see this again," he said. Experts say, thanks in part to climate change, the wildfire season up in Canada started early this year and has been more destructive than usual.
