Globally, heat killed an estimated half a million people each year between 2000 and 2020 according to the WHO, with deaths among older people rising by about 85% during that period. But it is also cutting short the lives of healthy young people -- www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s gonna be HOT at red river! According to Climate Central, it’s going to be 10 degrees warmer than normal in Dallas. Visit impactsus.org/cfb to learn more. @impactsus.bsky.social

According to Climate Central, it’s going to be 18 degrees warmer than normal in Ann Arbor this weekend! That’s hot (in a bad way!) Visit impactsus.org/cfb to learn more. @impactsus.bsky.social

Climate change is making heat waves longer & hotter—pushing summer heat deeper into fall and worsening extreme weather. At college football sites, “extremely hot days” are up 88% since 1970. 🏈 🏈Climate Change's impacts on football season ▶️ impactsus.org/cfb/ (via @impactsus.bsky.social)

Sixty-seven high school student-athletes in the United States died from EHS between 1982 and 2022, the majority of them football players. Heat policies aren’t controversial for athletic trainers, but few states mandate comprehensive guidelines for schools. atmos.earth/art-and-cult...

For the Grove this weekend the forecast is 8 degrees hotter than normal and the heat made 3x more likely by climate change, according to Climate Central: csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif... and csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif.... You can visit impactus.org to learn more!

Callin’ Baton Rouge for the hot hot hot game of the week! Hotter-than-normal temperatures at Tiger Stadium were made 5x more likely because of climate change according to Climate Central. Visit: impactsus.org and csi.climatecentral.org

Heat is the deadliest weather phenomenon in the US and globally, killing almost half a million people worldwide each year... The death toll is rising as human-caused climate crisis drives more frequent, more brutal and longer heatwaves. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

20 years ago this week, Hurricane #Katrina became one of the worst disasters in U.S. history. Now, new ocean and hurricane attribution science helps us understand how human-caused climate change left its fingerprints on the storm 🧵

🔴 ~Half the Western U.S. -- 38M Americans -- will feel at least one day of extreme heat this week, made almost impossible without human-caused climate change. 🌡️ Forecast highs: mid-90s to 115°F+ from the Rockies to the West Coast. Even in August, this level of heat is at least 5x more likely

Prolonged exposure to high temperatures, humidity, and heatwaves threatens the safety and livelihoods of outdoor workers like farmers, firefighters + construction workers. Climate change worsens the risks they face. climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications... via @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social

US$93 billion. That's how much climate disasters have cost American just this year. “The probability of extreme weather is changing, so we need to adapt and, of course, to mitigate future losses.” #thisisclimatechange www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...

When this 25-year-old suddenly passed away, his family was horrified and confused, but it turns out his death was entirely preventable. Roendy Granillo died of heat stroke while at work, and it’s a massive problem affecting workers across the United States. #ThisIsClimateChange

"As a nurse, I treat the symptoms of extreme heat daily. But if we want real change, we need to address the root causes — and that means doubling down on clean energy solutions." - Lauren Melcher, Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments. www.yourvalley.net/stories/beat...

The ongoing heat wave in the East is exposing vulnerabilities in US infrastructure plus public health risks. Once again needs to be said -- our roads, rails, bridges & more were built for a climate that no longer exists. (1/2) www.cnn.com/2025/06/25/w...

When you get your energy bill next month, and it is more expensive than you'd anticipated ... here's why: www.reuters.com/business/ene...

This weekend is the one month anniversary of the fatal tornadoes that devastated the US' Midwest and Southeast, let us not forget how much extreme weather events are costing communities -- lives, and beyond. www.reinsurancene.ws/tornado-outb...

Do you get excited for summers? More and more, Americans are becoming weary of how hot summer is getting, and it's not just in our heads. Summers ARE getting hotter, and they are one of the most tangible ways we're experiencing climate change. — via @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/05/28/s...

Whether you are in a "hurricane risk" location or not - you may want to consider getting ready for the season this year. 🎧 Listen to this panel of experts to find out how the country is gearing up for a summer of storms. via @the1a.org the1a.org/segments/how...

What a great resource! Which zip codes and communities are being most affected by the insurance crisis? via @publiccitizen.bsky.social www.citizen.org/article/mapp...

With stronger climate extremes now the norm, risks are escalating for ecosystems, fisheries water quality and coastal infrastructure, like power plants and drinking water systems. #greatlakes gandernewsroom.com/2025/06/02/l...

Tennessee would have *lost* $468 million in aid, if proposed new FEMA threshold had been in place, from 2008-2024. 😮https://tennesseelookout.com/2025/05/14/report-under-proposed-higher-fema-threshold-recovery-would-cost-tn-468m-more-from-2008-2024/ by @cstephenson.bsky.social.

Extreme heat poses numerous risks during pregnancy, including raising the risk of pre-term birth, stillbirth, hospitalization and maternal mortality. A new report shows that this has almost doubled in some communities in the US, because of climate change -- www.kunr.org/2025-05-15/h...

Wisconsin saw a record number of fires in January and February this year due to a lack of snow as climate change has set the stage for more wildfires to burn in the last decade: www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

THIS point from @kendrawrites.com : "Biking, 99% of the time, especially if you're talking small distances, especially if you're talking with decent infrastructure is more fun than driving." | Exactly why I see BIG #ClimateInfluence in stories of leaders who bike local trips. @thelever.bsky.social

People say they care about climate change. Why won’t they talk about it?

Very proud to have produced this panel with @impactsus.bsky.social for #onairfest about the need to empower podcasters in all genres to talk about the climate crisis. With @davidsirota.com, @katearonoff.bsky.social, Mekdela Maskal, Lauren Casey and @kendrawrites.com www.onairfest.com/2025-session...

That was a climate panel afterall! Lot’s of gratitude to our speakers, my colleagues at @impactsus.bsky.social and the incredible team at #OnAirFest #climatecrisis

We will be at #onairfest next week, hosting a conversation about how climate change is reshaping our worlds, and how creators can push the boundaries of the work fighting it to inspire action - we have a fantastic panel - see who will be with us in NYC next week below, + sign up here: bit.ly/3WZWqsU

Extremely important new rapid study just out, by @wwattribution.bsky.social @frediotto.bsky.social It confirms our burning of fossil fuels injects a mad acceleration into the factors that blend to create disastrous fires -->> www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan... Short thread.......

Climate change made the conditions that drove the LA wildfires 35% more likely, according to new research from climate scientists at World Weather Attribution. Here’s what you need to know. 🧵

"For those who have lost everything in climate disasters, the apocalypse has already arrived. And as the planet gets hotter, climate disasters will get more frequent and more intense. The cost of these fires will be immense..." - @climatehuman.bsky.social for @nytimes.com: bit.ly/4hhByW6

Yes, climate change made the #LAfires worse.

“I like to call these strangely warm winter days delight-mares,” Kristina Dahl, vice president of science at Climate Central, told  Wisconsin Examiner. Read more about the effects of "lost winter" days, with article by Isaiah Holmes, on the Wisconsin Examiner. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/01/01/c...

Yes, climate change has an effect on the intensity and frequency of hurricanes. Swipe to learn more.

Warming weather - caused by fossil fuel emissions - added rain and intensified the winds of Hurricane Milton, resulting in more property damage from this storm. Intense impacts like these deserve the incredible coverage that Miami Herald is giving. bit.ly/3UerTXa
