Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the South Atlantic’s transformation into a “hurricane machine.” He explains how rising ocean temperatures—80°F in the South Atlantic and up to 90°F in the Gulf of Mexico—are providing the perfect fuel for storms to intensify at unprecedented speeds. McIntyre warns that this warming trend is likely…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that Phoenix will endure five days of 110+ degree temperatures. The extreme heat threatens the city’s homeless population, strains low-income households without access to cooling, and halts construction, impacting the local economy.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Fresno, California, will endure a full week of 100+ degree heat, with heat indexes exceeding 110. The extreme temperatures threaten vulnerable populations, particularly homeless residents and those without air conditioning, while also stalling key industries such as construction.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights how a 110-degree heatwave in Las Vegas is impacting both the gambling industry and vulnerable populations. Tourists are discouraged from visiting casinos in the extreme heat, while homeless and low-income residents face life-threatening risks without access to air conditioning.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Iowa is one of only two U.S. states with no drought conditions. This benefits crops and prevents wildfire risk, even as surrounding states face severe drought. McIntyre highlights the unusual and sometimes random nature of drought patterns across the country.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Canada will face temperatures fifteen degrees hotter than normal this weekend. The unusual heat is expected to accelerate Arctic ice melt—raising sea levels and opening shipping routes—while also heightening wildfire risks in already drought-stricken areas. More than 500 wildfires are currently active, with the potential for…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how Hurricane Erin—despite its destructive flooding along parts of the East Coast—may have helped the U.S. avoid even stronger storms this season. By sucking vast amounts of heat from Atlantic waters, Erin cooled surface temperatures by up to five degrees, reducing the fuel hurricanes rely on to…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, outlines a practical one-year plan to prepare for climate disasters. He emphasizes creating defensible space around homes, protecting vulnerable areas like attics and basements, maintaining sump pumps in flood zones, securing heavy objects in earthquake regions, and preparing for short-term survival during hurricanes or power outages.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Western Colorado is facing extreme heat above 100°F, well above the seasonal norm of 85°F. Combined with dry conditions, the region is primed for major wildfires—continuing Colorado’s history of severe fire events. While the fires are away from large cities, remote terrain makes firefighting efforts more…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that areas south of Las Vegas are experiencing exceptional drought alongside extreme heat at 111°F. These conditions create a perfect wildfire formula, fueled either by human activity or lightning strikes. With the region unusually hot and dry for the season, the wildfire risk is at a dangerous…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights South Carolina as one of only two states in the U.S. with no drought conditions. While neighboring states like Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina face drought, South Carolina currently benefits from stable conditions. McIntyre notes the unpredictable and shifting nature of drought across the U.S.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how Kuwait has adapted to extreme heat, with summer temperatures reaching 120°F as a normal occurrence. Due to chronic drought and lack of fresh water, Kuwait relies heavily on desalination and indoor living. Despite extreme conditions, the nation avoids wildfire risks because of its sparse vegetation.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Vostok, Antarctica, remains the coldest place on Earth at –100°F due to its elevation and location. While the region remains stable, the edges of Antarctica are warming, contributing to glacial melt and rising seas.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains that extreme heat in U.S. cities is no longer offset by cooler nights. Greenhouse gases and urban infrastructure trap heat, leaving vulnerable populations — including the homeless and low-income households — at high risk.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that rising Atlantic Ocean temperatures—caused by climate change—are fueling stronger and faster-developing hurricanes. He cites Hurricane Erin, which jumped from Category 1 to Category 5 in just days, as a dangerous example of how record-breaking ocean heat is reshaping storm behavior.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains that Arctic ice melt has slowed unexpectedly since 2005, puzzling scientists. While natural ocean variations may have caused a temporary slowdown, researchers warn that accelerated melting is likely to return soon—despite climate deniers misusing the findings to dismiss global warming.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights how doctors are taking a leading role in addressing the health impacts of climate change. Across the globe, physicians are forming an informal but powerful movement to raise awareness of the health risks posed by global warming. McIntyre cites pediatrician Deborah Carrickson in Reno—America’s fastest-warming city—who warns…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how China’s vast electricity surplus is giving it a decisive advantage in the AI race. Unlike the U.S., where grids operate with slim reserve margins, China has maintained an 80% reserve margin for decades thanks to heavy investment in energy infrastructure. This abundance allows China to expand…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights how Miami’s once-booming real estate market is collapsing, with home prices dropping 18% between 2022 and 2024. Properties are sitting on the market twice as long as the national average, and skyrocketing insurance costs—driven by hurricanes and climate risk—are pushing residents out. McIntyre links the decline directly…
