Orange Juice Prices Due To Climate Disasters

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief at Climate Crisis, explains how climate events are driving up the cost of orange juice. Florida’s orange crop suffered severe damage from Hurricane Milton, followed by subzero temperatures, making this year’s harvest the smallest since 1930. This reduced supply is expected to double orange juice prices compared to three years ago. McIntyre highlights how climate change continues to disrupt agriculture, citing droughts in California and flooding in the Midwest as further examples.
