The Climate Shift Index (CSI) is calculated by combining two different methods to estimate the chances that a certain temperature was influenced by climate change.

Today's CSI for #Pittsburgh is 4, meaning #climatechange made today's temp at least 4x more likely.
Text on graphic: Climate Shift Index Jun 24, 2025 Change in likelihood due to climate change In Pittsburgh on June 24, 2025 the Climate Shift Index is 4, meaning climate change made the daily average temperature at least 4 times more likely.

DYK? U.S. natural gas pipelines leak as much as 2.7 million tons of methane into our atmosphere each year. That’s the same impact as roughly 50 million passenger cars! PHMSA must put their plan into action to find and fix more leaks. #CutMethane
