Extreme Heat Renders Homes Uninhabitable, And That Will Lead to Migration

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports from New York City on a troubling climate development: in some regions, indoor temperatures are now exceeding outdoor heat, making homes uninhabitable. Citing a study from India, McIntyre explains how extreme temperatures are rendering both indoor and outdoor environments unsafe, especially in countries like India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This crisis is accelerating the threat of climate migration, with tens of millions of people potentially forced to leave their homes due to unlivable conditions—without any clear destinations or solutions in sight.
