A new study in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences shows that ocean temperatures have risen for 9 years in a row. This contributed to deaths in regions from Texas to Southeast Asia. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
A university study shows that rising seas and stronger Atlantic storms will put up to 60% of Miami underwater by 2060. Insurance companies are starting to figure that out. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climatecrisis247, explains.
Millions of people worldwide burn plastic to cook and as a source of heat. The chemicals from this put millions of lives in danger. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Despite decades of global warming, the hottest day in the hottest place in history was July 10, 1913, in Death Valley. The temperature reached 134 degrees F. It shows that, even with yearly global warming records, there can still be outliers from years ago. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Ford’s $19.5 billion EV write-off came after it said its EV sales would reach the hundreds of thousands. Last year, EVs were only 4% of its total US sales. No other strategy disaster in car industry history matches it. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Despite Elon Musk’s image problems and the lack of a new product, Tesla is by far the top-selling EV in the US, with a 50% market share. This means it has some time to recover from a difficult year. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Between the charge-offs for EV failures between GM and Ford, the total is $30 billion. That is the cost of chasing Tesla in a market that is not growing. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
The Trump Administration has set a plan for Exxon and Chevron to drill for billions of barrels of oil in Venezuela. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains
Thousands of people who want to rebuild homes after the LA wildfires can’t get permits or insurance payments. This is not unusual after a climate disaster, but usually the federal government helps. Not anymore. Douglas A McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
The more scientists look at human-caused pollution, the more they find the damage we do. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Trump has pulled the US out of virtually every government environmental group in the world. He is powerful enough that it is unlikely to change. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Parts of Alaska received 6 feet of snow in December. More is on the way. Cities don’t have any place to put if. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Some American cities did not reach low enough temperatures last year to qualify as having winter. Using Climate Central data, we looked at them. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Climate Central tracks all climate disasters which did over $1 billion in damage. There have been over 400 of them in the last 50 years. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
The industry is exploding. As in almost all sectors, rapid growth leads to overcapacity. Overcapacity means consolidation. Some data centers won’t be around in a few years. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief at Climatecrisis247, explains.
Municipal bonds finance city infrastructure across the US. Almost none of these investments are adjusted for catastrophic climate risk, according to the journal Nature Cities. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
According to Inside Climate News, mining rare earths and drilling for oil could completely transform Greenland’s pristine environment. And that change would be for the worse. Douglas A. Mcintyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
The country’s “extra-heavy” crude is a thick, tar-like substance that emits more greenhouse gases than any other oil in the world. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Climate Central has released its list of weather disasters that cost at least $1 billion each. There were 23. Only 2023 and 2024 had higher numbers. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Trump has walked out on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the foundation of most global climate work, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which means he’s walked out on international efforts to fight global warming.
