How Climate Change Disrupts Water

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, discusses findings from the Global Water Report, which details how shifts in global water patterns are causing severe environmental and financial consequences. Examples include Somalia’s extreme drought, forcing relocation and halting agriculture, and worsening hurricanes in the Gulf and Atlantic due to warming waters. In Southern California, prolonged drought has devastated agriculture in regions like the Imperial Valley, crippling industries that once thrived. McIntyre emphasizes how these changes are reshaping ecosystems, economies, and livelihoods.
