Trump’s Greenland Threats Put Crucial Climate Change Research at Risk Political tensions are hampering work on the island, which is key to understanding the effects of global warming.

Recent US threats against Greenland may have cooled but so, inevitably, has the bilateral relationship. Climate science is feeling the effects. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fossil fuel consumption is causing global warming. How that, and other human actions, worsen or cause water insecurity is explained in the article.

Water ‘Bankruptcy’ Era Has Begun for Billions, Scientists Say Stress and scarcity aren’t strong enough terms to capture the water crisis facing much of the world, according to a new UN report.

An era of 'global water bankruptcy' has begun, says a new UN report. Humans are squandering and mismanaging freshwater resources -- even as climate change drives up demand and makes the availability of fresh water less predictable. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Carney’s China Embrace Widens Gap With US in Trump’s Tariff Era Canada has long stuck closely to the US on China policy, even through a diplomatic crisis over high-profile prisoners. Along with historic trade ties, that alignment is now cracking.

EPA Will No Longer Consider Value of Human Health Benefits in Setting Air Pollution Rules The agency is abandoning a longstanding policy to calculate the monetary savings in avoided deaths and disease from cutting certain pollutants.

The EPA will no longer calculate the monetary value of saving human lives, among other health impacts, when setting new clean air rules. It quietly debuted this new approach in a version of a new final rule for power plant emissions published online last week.

The Scientists Who Popularized Carbon Capture Have a Warning About It Many countries are relying on it to meet their climate goals, but it might hurt more than help, they say.

New from me: I spoke to two scientists who originally helped spread the use of carbon capture. They now say it's being misused. Here's why (gift link):

Seabed Mining Disrupts Fisheries, Researchers Find Scientists analyzed data from a test mining operation to document threats to small marine organisms key to the health of commercially valuable seafood like tuna.

Hot Weather is Killing More than Half a Million People a Year Authors of a new Lancet report warn that parts of the world could become unlivable, as climate change drives a surge in heat deaths.

Extreme heat now kills roughly one person every minute, and about 550,000 a year, finds @lancetcountdown.bsky.social's new report. And scientists warn parts of the world may soon hit limits where it’s too hot and humid for people to survive.
