Juneau, Alaska has just smashed its flood record…again…after a glacial lake outburst flood sent walls of water surging through neighborhoods. This is the third year in a row, almost to the day, that climate change has triggered this exact disaster.
🌡️ The cause? Rapid glacier melt, extreme rainfall, and record-breaking warmth across the region.
In this special breaking-news episode of 🎙 Three Degrees, we connect the dots between Alaska’s flooding, Iowa’s overtopped levees, and deadly rainfalls from Milwaukee to Europe. We talk about why engineering fixes aren’t enough, and why stopping fossil fuel use is the only way to slow the cascade of climate disasters.
Proud to be part of the ✍️ Iowa Writers Collaborative, where we believe in telling stories that matter - before it’s too late.
