- What Philly’s Fourth of July heat wave reveals about climate change
Philadelphia's Fourth of July heat wave caused event cancellations, heat-related deaths, and severe thunderstorms, with scientists attributing the extreme weather to climate change. The heat wave's intensity was four to six times more likely due to climate change, and historical weather records from 1776 contrast sharply with current conditions.
- Another super typhoon just pummeled the Pacific
Super Typhoon Bavi hit the Mariana Islands with 180 mph winds, causing widespread damage and displacing residents still recovering from a previous typhoon. Indigenous Chamorro and Carolinian communities, who contribute little to climate change, are disproportionately affected by intensifying storms linked to warming ocean waters.
