High and Dry: Rising Drought Days in California threaten water crisis

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief at Climate Crisis 247, discusses the severe drought conditions facing Bakersfield, Calif., where an average of 240 arid days annually is expected by 2040. He attributes this to California’s prolonged 1,200-year drought, noting that the West remains exceptionally dry despite recent storms, and also highlight the ongoing struggles with water management, agriculture and habitable areas as these challenges persist.
