Texas Floods Don’t Reverse Drought Threatening Water Supply

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains that despite recent flooding in southern Texas and parts of Arizona, the region remains in an “exceptional drought” — the most severe classification. The persistent water shortage has devastated agriculture, with some areas potentially losing the ability to grow crops for years. McIntyre emphasizes the growing severity of climate-induced droughts, calling into question the region’s long-term sustainability.
