Worsening Drought Raises Wildfire Risk in Southern New Jersey and Beyond

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports from New York City that southern New Jersey remains in severe drought, significantly raising the risk of wildfires. Following a recent blaze that burned 15,000 acres, McIntyre warns that conditions could worsen as the summer heats up, potentially threatening both New Jersey and nearby New York City, which is also experiencing drought, though to a lesser degree.
