Western U.S. Could Stay in Megadrought Until 2100

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on new research indicating the Western United States may remain in a megadrought until the end of the century. Drawing on comparisons to a dry period 6,000 years ago, scientists attribute this unrelenting drought to persistent Pacific Ocean temperature patterns caused by climate change. McIntyre emphasizes that the real danger lies not in the distant future, but in the impact over the coming decades.
