Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that melting Arctic ice is opening up new shipping lanes near the North Pole. These routes offer faster alternatives for trade between North America and Asia and reduce dependence on the Suez Canal, which is increasingly vulnerable to both geopolitical conflict and climate-induced disruptions. McIntyre suggests this…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that hurricanes intensified by climate change are becoming more frequent, deadlier, and more expensive. Drawing from CAP research, McIntyre explains how these storms are not only destroying infrastructure and communities, but also weakening local economies and ecosystems. The growing severity of hurricanes reflects the broader toll of…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Phoenix endured 100 consecutive days over 100°F last year, shutting down construction and forcing emergency housing for the unhoused. With temperatures climbing again, the city could face even worse conditions this year, resulting in serious economic and public health consequences.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights Flin Flon, Canada, as the epicenter of major wildfires currently burning in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The small town of 5,000 has been fully evacuated. McIntyre explains that Flin Flon represents a broader pattern of wildfire outbreaks in remote Canadian towns, illustrating the growing danger in areas far…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that Phoenix is about to face 111°F heat over the next few days. He outlines the serious consequences, including rising heat-related deaths, overwhelmed emergency rooms, costly emergency housing measures, and a halt to major industries like construction.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the growing challenge of battling massive Canadian wildfires. These remote blazes are nearly impossible to reach due to limited road access and logistical barriers, with smoke reaching as far south as New York City. McIntyre warns that such fires are becoming a recurring and unmanageable environmental…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Phoenix will experience ten consecutive days over 100°F, with some days hitting 110°F. He explains that the extreme heat strains both the environment and the city’s infrastructure, especially by shutting down construction, relocating unhoused residents, and flooding hospitals with heat stroke victims.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Las Vegas is expected to face over 100°F temperatures for the next eight days. He warns that this extreme heat could negatively affect tourism and gambling revenue, as visitors may avoid outdoor movement between casinos and venues.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on new data from The Guardian linking rapid snowpack loss in the western U.S. to increasing wildfire risks. He explains how warmer temperatures and administrative cutbacks during the Trump era have worsened the situation. McIntyre warns that wildfire frequency and severity will likely escalate due to both…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a new World Meteorological Organization report highlighting a massive marine heatwave area five times the size of Australia. The report warns of long-term ecological damage and rising sea salt levels threatening island nations. McIntyre underscores that unprecedented climate disruptions are now occurring across the globe, with urgent…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that several key National Weather Service offices are no longer operating 24/7, even in regions prone to extreme weather like eastern Kentucky and wildfire-prone areas of California. McIntyre warns that the lack of full-time monitoring in these high-risk zones could leave communities more vulnerable to deadly natural…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains the growing phenomenon of “zombie wildfires” in Canada. These fires, often ignited in regions with thawing permafrost, can burn underground for years and reignite seasonally, sending smoke across much of the U.S., from the East Coast to the Midwest.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Canadian wildfires are severely degrading air quality in New York City. With the AQI expected to exceed safe levels, health officials are warning residents—especially those with asthma or heart conditions—to avoid outdoor activity. This environmental hazard is also putting strain on hospitals and local economies.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights new scientific findings showing that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are now the highest they’ve been in over a million years. Data from NOAA and the University of California, San Diego, underscores the failure of current global efforts to limit emissions. McIntyre stresses this as a dire wake-up…

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the urgent message from the One Ocean Science Congress, where over 2,000 global experts warned of a worsening marine crisis. The ocean’s decline, driven largely by human-caused warming, threatens both marine biodiversity and global stability. McIntyre underscores the growing urgency for action to reverse the damage.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a new study from World Weather Attribution showing that nearly 4 billion people—half the global population—experienced a full month of extreme heat in the past year. The findings emphasize the accelerating toll of climate change on public health, agriculture, and infrastructure worldwide.
