Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, breaks down Cox Automotive’s latest EV market data, showing Tesla’s continued dominance in the U.S. With Model Y and Model 3 leading sales, Tesla remains far ahead of competitors—many of whom are still struggling with profitability in the EV sector.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights alarming new data on Hawaii’s coastal erosion, revealing that parts of the state are sinking into the Pacific 40 times faster than expected. This miscalculation means urgent action is required to relocate communities and businesses far sooner than originally planned.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights the rising threat of hailstorms in the U.S. With larger, more destructive hail causing widespread damage, insurance companies are treating them like wildfires and hurricanes, raising costs or pulling out of vulnerable areas.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses why Americans continue moving to Florida and Texas despite climate risks. With extreme heat, hurricanes, and rising insurance costs, experts speculate whether southern migration will slow or even reverse in the next few years.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, breaks down a LendingTree survey revealing that public EV charging costs over double what it costs at home. The high cost of public charging, especially in rural areas, could be another roadblock to EV adoption as consumers weigh the financial implications.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses the ongoing fight for control of the Panama Canal between the U.S. and China. While its strategic importance is undeniable, the recurring drought problem threatens its long-term future, with no clear solution in sight.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses how increasingly severe hurricanes are causing Florida’s real estate market to decline statewide. With experts warning that future storms will only get worse, property values may continue to fall across every major metro in Florida.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how climate change is forcing ski resorts to adopt costly snow farming techniques to survive. With rising temperatures threatening the industry, many resorts may soon face permanent closure.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that butterfly populations in the U.S. have dropped by 22% in the past 20 years due to climate change and pesticide use. This decline is not just a loss of biodiversity—it disrupts ecosystems and could have long-term consequences for the food chain. The loss of even a…
