Storms raced across the country, including hail, thunderstorms, and tornados. Over 20 people were killed, and the breadth of the storms ranged geographically from Texas and Oklahoma to Florida and the Northeast. Meteorologists remind the public that climate change is causing more violent weather events in America. Climatecrisis247 believes that this trend is among the reasons home insurance prices are skyrocketing in regions where insurers used to make money. Harsh storms are not just part of the weather in places like hurricane-prone Florida and Louisiana. Some insurers are leaving states because they have lost hundreds of millions of dollars. Weather events are changing the face of the home insurance industry.

Climate change has changed the amount of hot weather around the world. According to The New York Times, “Over the past year of record-shattering warmth, the average person on Earth experienced 26 more days of abnormally high temperatures than they otherwise would have, were it not for human-induced climate change, scientists say.” This trend has happened in the US and places as far away as India. The trend appears to be getting worse. Cimatecrisis247 believes that this is a part of climate change that may not be reversible. Much information shows that parts of the world have exceeded the 1.2 degrees C above preindustrial revolution temperature levels for human activity to reverse global heating.
The Rest Of The World Is Like Mexico
There is growing debate about when Mexico City will run out of water and which parts of the population will be affected. There is some evidence that more affluent residents have had access to water that the poor have not. Nevertheless, the problem is severe enough that more than hoarding water will be needed to help even the water challenges of the rich. According to The Washington Post, “Water scarcity has long been an issue in Mexico City, with the brunt of the shortages happening in lower-income neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city center. But recently, residents in some of the city’s wealthier neighborhoods have also been running out of water as hot temperatures, low rainfall, and poor infrastructure have converged to create a crisis across the sprawling metropolis.” Climatecrisis247 believes that this is part of a global trend. In places like India’s large cities with tens of millions of people, the poor will bear the brunt of the heat and massive storms. However, as the cities cannot function in the extreme heat and with health problems, economic production slowdowns will eventually affect even the affluent.
New Cars With Better Engines
Toyota has created a revolutionary engine that should sharply cut car emissions. It is configured so that it does not have to be an EV to do so. According to Reuters, “Toyota Motor showcased next-generation engines on Tuesday that can be used in cars as varied as hybrids and those running on biofuel, as it targets tougher emissions standards and doubles down on its strategy of selling more than just EVs.” Climatecrisis247 believes this is a trend that large car manufacturers must follow. If they want to lower emissions while the public’s interest in EVs cools, alternative engines will be vital to decreasing the effect transportation has on climate change.
