Glacier Flooding May Overwhelm Alaska Town

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that melting ice from Alaska’s Suicide Basin has breached a glacier barrier, sending dangerous floodwaters toward the city of Juneau. Residents in flood-prone areas have been urged to evacuate as officials race to reinforce defenses with HESCO barriers. McIntyre notes that such climate-driven flooding is becoming more destructive and is a growing problem for many U.S. communities located near vulnerable bodies of water.
