ClimateCrisis247 Editor-in-Chief Douglas A. McIntyre discusses China’s new climate goals, which will be almost impossible to reach. The nation is a leader in clean energy. However, it also uses enormous amounts of fossil fuel and is the world’s largest importer of oil
The UN climate summit has made one thing very clear. As the U.S. withdraws from efforts to make the world greener, it is almost alone among developed nations. Even China is moving in a direction different from America’s.
Scientists are trying to figure out why planes are hit by turbulence. There are too many variables to come up with an answer. That challenge could last for years.. or longer
China is building a massive solar farm. It is part of the “greening” of the country. China has promised to aggressively cut pollution. It remains a huge user of coal, which means that solar has a long, long way to go.
AI is energy hungry. The grid is weak. The supply of solar and wind is low. Coal may come back. Big tech companies are rich, but do they have a $1 trillion valuation? Banks view the industry as risky. The energy build out for AI may be too high to afford.
It is similar to those that hit Florida last year
Is Global Warming A Hoax
Scientists demanded action on climate change based on damage from global warming. As the problem gets worse, the US has dropped out of the race to solve the problem. China, on the other hand, has pressed for a drop in emissions
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported on China’s unveiling of what is expected to be the world’s largest solar farm, located on the Tibetan Plateau and comparable in size to Chicago. Highlighted in The Independent, this project showcases China’s rapid solar expansion, which is helping reduce carbon emissions by one percent annually. McIntyre…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported on research highlighted by The Independent showing how weak climate crisis warnings increase the risk of global hunger. The study by Chatham House reveals that early warning systems often fail to integrate food security concerns, leaving vulnerable populations exposed to extreme weather, rising temperatures, conflict, and trade…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported on Donald Trump’s UN speech where the former president dismissed climate change as a hoax, praised coal, defended U.S. energy independence, and ridiculed environmentalists. McIntyre emphasized the challenge of addressing climate policy under an administration that denies the reality of climate change.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, covered President Trump’s UN speech in which he dismissed renewable energy as a “green energy scam.” Reported by Inside Climate News, Trump praised fossil fuels while rejecting climate action, setting himself apart from other global leaders who urged renewable investment and urgent action on climate change. McIntyre highlighted…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has threatened to withdraw the state from one of the nation’s largest electricity grids if improvements are not made. According to Inside Climate News, AI-driven data centers are fueling surging energy demand while utility delays in approving new power plants have created…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlighted a Guardian report showing that global renewable energy investment rose 10 percent in 2025, hitting $386 billion in the first half of the year. Despite U.S. policy rollbacks, the renewable sector continues to expand, though fossil fuels still dominate with more than $11 trillion in projected investments…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported on President Trump’s UN speech where he dismissed climate change as a hoax, attacked green energy investments, and ridiculed international climate commitments. McIntyre highlighted how Trump framed climate science as a fraud designed with “evil intentions,” rejecting both the UN’s warnings and the idea of carbon footprints.
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that AccuWeather is tracking two tropical waves in the Atlantic that could strengthen into tropical storms. One system is already bringing storms to the Leeward Islands and could impact Puerto Rico with flooding, while the second wave has the potential to strike the U.S. within the next…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported on NOAA data showing that U.S. weather and climate disasters have caused $2.78 trillion in damages since 1980. With nearly 400 events each costing at least $1 billion, McIntyre emphasized that the financial toll is accelerating and could reach $4–5 trillion by 2030. He highlighted how climate…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that AI’s rapid growth threatens to undermine climate progress achieved in the past decade. While tech giants like Microsoft and OpenAI pledged to achieve net zero by 2035, McIntyre noted that these commitments were made before the massive energy needs of AI data centers became clear. With…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that Michigan’s Howell Township may soon host the state’s largest data center, backed by $1 billion in investment. While cheap land makes the project attractive, McIntyre highlighted major uncertainties—such as where the massive energy, water, and workforce needs will be met in a county of only 10,000…
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that Buffalo is positioning itself as a climate refuge, attracting people leaving areas like Florida and New Orleans. The city’s temperate weather, freshwater from Lake Erie, and relative safety from violent storms make it appealing. Harvard refers to this trend as “climate migration.” However, McIntyre noted that…
