Climate Change Threatens U.S. Tourism Hotspots

Doug McIntyre, editor-in-chief at Climate Crisis 247, discusses the impact of climate change on U.S. tourism. Popular destinations like Nantucket and Miami are facing significant challenges due to flooding and beach erosion. Miami, a major tourist hub, risks being overrun by rising sea levels, with parts already below sea level. Similarly, California’s Big Sur Highway suffers from landslides, and Yellowstone Park has faced closures due to drought. These climate issues are increasingly affecting the tourism industry, posing financial challenges as areas once favored by tourists become less accessible and more hazardous.
