Polar Vortex Disrupts Business with Extreme Cold and Snow

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that the polar vortex is plunging temperatures to record lows across the Midwest and East Coast, bringing heavy snowfall to unexpected regions. This extreme weather event, linked to climate change, is shutting down businesses and causing economic strain. Airlines, trucking companies, and utilities are already experiencing significant financial losses due to flight cancellations, highway closures, and power outages. If the polar vortex persists, businesses across the U.S. will continue to suffer.
