U.S. Cities Like New Orleans and Miami Grapple with Growing Climate Vulnerabilities

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses the vulnerabilities of U.S. cities to climate-related disasters. Fifty percent of New Orleans and 60% of Miami are below sea level, making them especially susceptible to flooding. Meanwhile, Los Angeles faces challenges from alternating extreme dryness and flooding. Pre-existing conditions in these areas amplify the impact of weather events, with the number of at-risk locations expected to rise.
