🌊 Some glide above the water. Others are powered by batteries. Could electric ferries be the future of cleaner travel in the United States?
Climate Correspondent Ben Tracy, with #ClimateCentral, explores how hydrofoil technology and advances in battery power are making electric ferries a more practical alternative to diesel-powered vessels.

🕷️ You know what's scarier than spiders? A future with less clean water.
As climate change drives a hotter, drier future, communities across the Colorado River Basin are preparing for less available water. In Phoenix, one solution is turning treated wastewater into drinking water.
The @cityofphoenixaz's first advanced water purification facility is expected to produce nearly 7 million gallons of purified water per day at full capacity.

🚤 Look, up on the water! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s an electric ferry!
Some ferries can actually fly — lifting above the water’s surface to reduce drag and improve efficiency. And that’s just one innovation helping make cleaner water transportation a reality.
Climate Correspondent Ben Tracy, with #ClimateCentral, explores how hydrofoil boats in New York Harbor and battery-powered ferries in San Francisco Bay could help cut diesel pollution, lower operating costs, and transform how we travel on the water.

California’s kelp forests need a hand. Or 24. 🖐️
Scientists in Monterey, CA are working to reintroduce sunflower sea stars, which help keep kelp-eating sea urchins in check. After a deadly disease devastated sea star populations, purple sea urchin numbers skyrocketed. The urchins wiped out vast stretches of kelp forests, which absorb carbon dioxide as they grow.
Climate Correspondent Ben Tracy, with #ClimateCentral, explores whether these spiny stars can help turn the tide.

24 arms. One big appetite. A potential lifeline for California’s underwater forests.
🌻Scientists are releasing lab-raised sunflower sea stars into the waters off Monterey after a deadly disease fueled by marine heatwaves helped wipe out more than 90% of the species.
⭐Why bring them back? These alien-looking predators can eat sea urchins — and scare them into hiding — giving kelp a chance to grow.

🏠Imagine watching your home disappear into the ocean. That’s happening along North Carolina’s Outer Banks, where about 20 homes have tumbled into coastal waters over the past year.
Rising sea levels and stronger storms are accelerating coastal erosion up and down the East Coast.
Climate Correspondent Ben Tracy, with #ClimateCentral, takes a closer look at a beach on the Outer Banks being rebuilt for about $50 million — for the second time in just four years.

🌊 What does it cost to stay on the coast?
As sea levels rise and erosion accelerates, coastal homeowners are spending millions to protect their homes and communities.
Climate Correspondent Ben Tracy, with #ClimateCentral, explores how homeowners in North Carolina and Connecticut are adapting to a changing shoreline — from moving a house inland to raising homes nearly 10 feet and rebuilding beaches for $50 million.

🦟Mosquitoes could be getting a boost from a warming world.
As temperatures rise, mosquitoes can develop faster — making it harder to control their growing populations.
So scientists are exploring an unusual strategy: releasing more mosquitoes to create fewer mosquitoes.

💧 The Colorado River is shrinking. And cities across the Southwest are racing to prepare for a future with less water.
Climate change and prolonged drought are putting growing pressure on the Colorado River system, pushing cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix to invest billions in water recycling, conservation, and new infrastructure.
With #ClimateCentral, Climate Correspondent Ben Tracy explores what’s at stake — and how communities are preparing as states face difficult decisions over a dwindling water supply.
🎥 Watch to see how the Southwest is preparing for a drier future.

More mosquitoes to fight mosquitoes? You bet.🦟
Climate change is creating more favorable conditions for mosquitoes, and adding 18 more mosquito disease days on average compared to the early 1970s.
Climate Correspondent Ben Tracy, with #ClimateCentral, takes a closer look at a novel approach to mosquito control using specially bred male mosquitoes to curb populations of these disease-carrying insects.

What if the solution to less mosquitoes is...more mosquitoes?🦟
As climate change creates more favorable conditions for disease-carrying mosquitoes, communities are turning to an unusual form of mosquito control: more mosquitoes.
Climate Correspondent Ben Tracy, with #ClimateCentral, explores how releasing thousands of specially bred male mosquitoes can prevent these disease-spreading insects from reproducing.
