Will we always have Manhattan Brush Fires? That’s a Climate-Fueled threat.

Doug McIntyre reports on an alarming three-alarm brush fire in Manhattan that required more than 150 firefighters to extinguish. The fire underscores a worsening drought in New York City and its surroundings, with 45 consecutive dry days — the longest period since 1820 — and no rain forecasted for the next week. Wildfires have also been reported across Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey, signaling the broader impact of climate change on the northeastern United States.
