Rising River Temperatures Threaten U.S. Climate

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reported that America’s rivers are heating up rapidly, with heat waves in streams becoming more frequent, intense, and long-lasting. Based on a new study published in PNAS, these rising temperatures threaten species reliant on cooler waters. Researchers attribute the trend largely to human-driven climate change, dwindling snowpacks, and altered stream flows.
