Event Information:
The deadly heat dome that settled over the Pacific Northwest at the end of June 2021 was a 1 in 1000 year event. But climate scientists say it was 150 times more likely to happen because of human-caused climate change. I'll take you through the series of unique conditions that came together for the unprecedented event to occur -- and why we need to prepare now for the next one.
Please note the later starting time: 4.15pm
