Douglas McIntyre of Climate Crisis 24/7 reports on Florida’s deepening housing crisis following Hurricane Milton, which devastated Fort Myers and led to steep home price drops—often by 20–30%. He notes that nearby Tampa is also facing instability, with property values slipping amid rising fears of more frequent and powerful hurricanes. As insurance rates soar, many…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights how Texas has significantly improved its grid reliability thanks to utility-scale solar and battery storage. Previously prone to frequent blackouts, Texas now sees emergency risk during peak summer hours drop from 16% to less than 1%, according to ERCOT. McIntyre notes this as a turning point for…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that California’s largest wildfire of 2025 is already burning over 70,000 acres near Santa Barbara, with minimal containment. While the affected area is less densely populated than Los Angeles, the fire is still expected to cause billions of dollars in damage to homes, infrastructure, and possibly businesses….
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that Miami could be completely submerged by the year 2100 due to Arctic ice melt. Referencing a new study by the International Quake Glacial Collaboration, he explains that a projected six-foot sea level rise would overwhelm existing infrastructure. Another study from the University of Florida predicts 60%…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses how budget cuts to NOAA, particularly under the Trump administration, are limiting the government’s ability to provide crucial data about extreme storms. As deadly thunderstorms like the recent one in Texas become more frequent, NOAA’s delayed updates and staffing shortages pose serious risks to infrastructure planning and…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights new research from universities in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Chicago showing that global milk production could fall by 4% by mid-century due to rising heat stress. This decline will disproportionately impact 150 million households that rely on dairy farming, especially in southern Asia. McIntyre also points to…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the rise of wildfires across Europe amid a deadly heat wave, citing Spain, Greece, and Turkey as recent hotspots. Drawing comparisons to wildfires in Los Angeles, McIntyre points to heat, drought, and coastal winds as key contributors. He emphasizes that the damage isn’t confined to local…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discussed how removing the 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) could dramatically increase U.S. adoption. They highlight that the appeal of EVs is driven more by performance and innovation than environmental concerns. Drawing parallels to the influx of Japanese cars in the 1980s, they…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss the declining optimism around the U.S. transition to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030. While countries like China and many in Europe are seeing EV sales surpass 50%, American consumer resistance to moving away from gas-powered vehicles is slowing progress. Despite shrinking sales from companies…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, expressed deep concern about the global climate crisis intensifying amid political inaction. They highlighted Europe’s deadly heatwave and forecasted fatalities, while criticizing the rollback of climate mitigation efforts at a time of escalating danger. Their conversation reflected frustration with public resistance to expert-driven solutions, even…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discussed the media’s failure to sustain focus on the slow-moving but catastrophic nature of climate change. While individual tragedies receive headline attention, climate’s gradual toll—despite extreme heat and fatalities—is often downplayed. They criticized short-term media priorities that neglect the mounting urgency of the climate crisis.
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss how geopolitical and commercial interests are now turning toward the Antarctic. Once protected under a multinational treaty allowing only scientific research and limited tourism, the region may soon face increased pressure from nations like Russia and China looking to exploit rare earth minerals. As…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discussed the sharp decline in consumer incentives for rooftop solar in the United States. They noted that solar deals have worsened significantly, making the financial case for homeowners increasingly unattractive. As a result, the residential solar market is rapidly weakening, a trend reflected in falling…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explore the growing unsustainability of life in Phoenix, Arizona, amid rising temperatures and dwindling water resources. They point out that temporary climate migrations may already be underway, as wealthier residents leave for cooler areas during the summer—while lower-income populations are left to endure worsening conditions….
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss the unintended “silver lining” of climate change: the opening of Arctic shipping routes. As the Panama and Suez Canals face increasing threats from drought and conflict, melting ice in the Arctic is creating new global shipping lanes. While some view it as an opportunity…
In a conversation between David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, the two highlight the disproportionate carbon footprint of private jets. A single jet, like Jeff Bezos’, can emit as much as 177 to 300 cars annually. The irony is compounded when world leaders and executives attend climate summits via private jets,…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, emphasized the urgent need for investment in aging U.S. utility infrastructure. While renewable energy promises long-term gains, the real crisis—failing grids and outdated transmission systems—is happening today. They argue that without immediate upgrades, electrification goals will falter, regardless of clean energy breakthroughs.
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss the early signs of climate migration within the U.S. McIntyre notes that while mass migration hasn’t hit yet, trends in places like Florida—where housing prices are falling and insurers are exiting—suggest that the shift is beginning. Each summer, the urgency grows stronger.
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, examine the housing market collapse in Fort Myers, Florida, where home prices have dropped 20–30%. They compare the situation to the 2008 mortgage crisis, highlighting how climate-related disasters like hurricanes are triggering insurance company withdrawals—leaving homes uninsurable and unsellable, thus creating a cascade of economic…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss how modern warfare has emerged as one of the world’s most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. As military technology advances—bringing more drones, rockets, and fuel-intensive logistics—the environmental toll grows sharply. They compare it to wildfires, where one catastrophic event can erase years of…
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlight the contradiction between climate advocacy and personal carbon-intensive behavior. They discuss how wealthy individuals like Bill Gates publicly fund climate solutions while continuing to use private jets such as the Gulfstream 6500. This contradiction, they argue, reflects a broader issue of individual exceptionalism that…
