"The climate crisis is here. New York City keeps getting hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter; we had twice as many days over 90-degree heat this past summer as we did 50 years ago," Restler said.

Heat kills an estimated 350 New Yorkers each year, according to the Health Department, with lack of air conditioning the most important risk factor.
We have a moral responsibility to act, to intervene, to make a difference, to make sure that each and every New Yorker is safe from the number one climate killer: extreme heat."
