Houston Is One of Worst Cities to Live in Due to Climate Change

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Houston ranks as one of the worst U.S. cities to live in under climate change, according to a new study by Policygenius. The city’s vulnerability to extreme heat, frequent hurricanes, flooding, and poor air quality places a severe burden on residents—both in terms of comfort and cost. McIntyre notes that recurring triple-digit temperatures and high air-conditioning expenses particularly impact lower-income communities, making climate resilience an increasingly urgent issue in Houston.
