St. Louis Faces Growing Climate Threat from The Mississippi River

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that St. Louis has been identified by the Financial Times as one of the world’s most endangered cities due to climate change. He explains that fluctuations in the Mississippi River—both severe low levels and catastrophic crests—pose a major threat to commerce and public safety. McIntyre warns that with worsening climate patterns, flooding in St. Louis will be a persistent danger for years to come.
