Global Drought At Alarming New High, UN Warns

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a sobering United Nations assessment warning that modern droughts—intensified by climate change and resource depletion—are among the most devastating in recorded history. Described as a “slow-moving global catastrophe,” the report emphasizes the need for long-term monitoring and acknowledges that some ecosystems may vanish entirely. McIntyre notes the report’s grim conclusion: reversing the crisis remains difficult due to the broader challenge of global warming.
