Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses the potential budget cuts to the National Weather Service, raising concerns about forecasting accuracy and public safety. With AI-driven weather models emerging, the question remains: Will AI replace the NWS, or does the U.S. still need a government-run weather agency?
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses how Tesla’s competitors—like Polestar—are aggressively targeting its customer base. With Tesla sales slowing, other automakers may use similar incentives to take market share away from Musk’s company. If this trend grows, Tesla’s hold on the EV market could weaken significantly.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that the WMO recorded 151 unprecedented extreme weather events in 2023, primarily driven by record heat and powerful hurricanes. The financial toll, including billions in insurance claims and economic losses, raises concerns about how regions will continue to recover from increasingly frequent climate disasters.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Los Angeles faces a $1 billion deficit due to wildfire damage.

Given recurring wildfire risks, this could be a long-term crisis.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a UN study revealing that 800,000 people were displaced by extreme weather in 2023. As climate migration accelerates, financial collapse, political unrest, and humanitarian crises will become increasingly urgent global challenges.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that gas prices have fallen below $3 for the first time in four years. While good for consumers, this discourages EV adoption and prolongs dependence on fossil fuels—a setback for the environment.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses CoreLogic’s forecast predicting home price declines in Tampa and Phoenix. Rising climate-related insurance costs and shifting migration trends are pushing more homeowners to sell, driving prices down.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights the 11 U.S. states without Tesla Superchargers. These states are either sparsely populated or economically disadvantaged, making EV adoption difficult due to high vehicle costs and a lack of charging infrastructure.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on BYD’s groundbreaking claim that it can charge an EV battery in just five minutes, enough for 200 miles of range. If this innovation proves real and is adopted widely, it could accelerate EV adoption and reduce reliance on gas-powered cars.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a new proposal to tax fossil fuel industries, airlines, and financial trades, potentially raising $350 billion annually for climate initiatives. However, opposition from major industries could make implementation difficult, raising questions about how the world will fund climate action.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that SUVs now make up 54% of global car sales, rising year over year despite concerns about climate impact. Low gas prices and lingering doubts about EV technology continue to drive demand for traditional gas-powered SUVs.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a deep-sea expedition that uncovered shocking levels of pollution at 35,000 feet below sea level. Researchers found plastic waste and microplastics affecting marine life, confirming that no part of the ocean is safe from human pollution.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how Chinese automakers, led by BYD, are expanding worldwide, making it harder for Ford and GM to compete.
