Heat, Hazards, and Heroes in Climate Crisis
Description
The 2026 World Cup could be a literal scorcher, with over a third of matches facing dangerously hot and humid conditions. Meanwhile, FEMA faces massive layoffs that threaten its disaster response capabilities, as the president pushes states to fill the gap. Rising sea levels are flooding coastal areas even on sunny days, while climate-driven heat waves and storms disproportionately impact Latino communities—who are stepping up as climate leaders. Across the U.S., heavy rain is triggering more frequent floods, and buildings are increasingly going up in high-risk zones. And in Houston, the San Jacinto Waste Pits cleanup—still years away from completion—no longer needs former EPA chief Scott Pruitt’s involvement.
