The use of coal worldwide was supposed to drop as more renewables came online. In theory, that made sense. However, AI server farms and AC are using up more and more electricity. In some nations, add EVs to the mix. This suggests that coal use will return to 2000 levels. And, the use level may…

Oversupply of crude and a drop in demand from China have driven oil prices down over the past year. This means gas prices are at $2.99. That is so low, the price to own as an EV is less attractive.

When insurance costs, lost labor, property damage, and infrastructure buildouts are added together, the cost of disaster recovery reaches $1 trillion. And the figure will only rise as the US lets itself fall quickly behind its climate goals for global warming. Use of oil and coal is increasing. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains….

The cost of recovering from climate disasters is boosting GDP by funding repairs to infrastructure, businesses, and homes. These have become a permanent part of the American economy, and it is growing. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

In the first half of the year, US climate disasters cost $100 billion. It is a sign of things to come. As wildfires and hurricanes get more violent, the price tag is about to go up. And, the government is doing nothing about it. Douglas A. McIntyre of Climatecrisis247 discusses. More video: World’s Largest City…

The US keeps 714 million barrels of oil on hand in case of an emergency. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was created in 1975 to protect the US against severe oil shortages, but America now pumps enough oil that it will probably never be needed. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, discusses.

In July, national home prices rose, according to research firm Case-Shiller. They also rose in most of the 20 cities covered by the research. However, in Tampa, they were down sharply year over year. The reason is probably the destruction and insurance rates that recent hurricanes have triggered. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, discusses.

Delhi, India, has a population of 33 million people. By most measurements, that makes it the largest city in the world. Based on air quality measurements, it is also the most polluted large city on Earth. The use of old cars and coal, along with farmers who burn off crops, increases the risk of blood,…

A report from consulting firm McKinsey shows that oil will dominate the world’s energy market for decades. It is relatively cheap and plentiful, and the world’s energy infrastructure has been built around it for over a century. And, unlike renewables, it does not have political challenges. Or, at least not recently, Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief…

The EIA expects energy costs to drop this winter, according to their Winter Fuels Outlook 2025/2026. The exception is electricity costs, which are expected to rise 4% and much higher in much of the nation. Oil and gas prices will drop because crude oil prices have fallen. Electricity costs will change due to AI server…

A small part of New York City floods during the most severe rainstorms. The problem has persisted for years. Now, the city says the problem can be fixed. It is an example of a government taking a very long time to solve a simple environmental problem. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief of Climatecrisis247, reports

Americans spend much more on gas than on electricity. Essentially, it costs them more to drive their cars than to heat their homes. However, gas prices are coming down alongside oil prices, while AI data centers are pushing electricity prices higher. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

China has a three-year program to massively build out a network of EV charging stations, which should increase adoption. The lack of stations is among the reasons people don’t buy EVs. Unfortunately, the US has no such plan. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

Typhoon Halong destroyed several Alaskan villages, and repairs are underway, but are slow. Hurricane-force winds hit on October 11. According to The Guardian, among other things, there were “unearthed graves.” Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, reports.

Some Americans may not have the money to pay for heat during the winter, particularly if it is unusually cold. Programs meant to cover fuel costs are in limbo because of the government shutdown. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, reports.

Global warming means that animals and insects live in places that humans could never have imagined. It is bad news, however. It shows how fast the world is getting hotter. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, discusses

According to the research firm Case-Shiller, home prices in the US rose in July compared to the same month last year. They were also up in most of the 20 cities the research tracks. However, in Miami, they dropped. This may be due to hurricane damage and the high insurance rates it brings, Douglas A….
