This FIFA World Cup won't just pit teams against each other — it will pit them against wildly different weather. And some teams have much hotter schedules than others. Read more in our latest for @bloomberg.com. (And yes, I'm a sports reporter now, thank you.)

I was on @marketplace.org last night to talk about how climate change threatens to make life even more expensive. Tune in here

Story ideas come from weird places. Last month I turned on the AC 2 days after running the heat. Then 2 days later the AC was off and the heat on. This prompted the q: "Is this normal?" The answer: "I mean, what is normal anymore?" A jv with @emmarcourt.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Drought afflicting some 90% of Nebraska and Oklahoma lands is threatening the winter wheat crop and squeezing cattle producers — and it's expected to last through spring. By @laurenthal.bsky.social, Erin Ailworth + @ilenapeng.bsky.social for @bloomberg.com

The rise of extreme weather and natural disasters is already making life more expensive. Could this kind of "climateflation" be turning into something more lasting? Economists, climate scientists and central bankers are trying to piece it together. Latest for @bloomberg.com:

Caterpillar Inc. has acquired self-driving electric tractor startup Monarch Tractor, sometimes called the "Tesla of agriculture." Climate tech startups like Monarch have struggled to commercialize their carbon-cutting solutions. Scoop with @cocojournalist.bsky.social for @bloomberg.com:

Green cement startup Sublime Systems has laid off 2/3 of its current workforce after the Trump admin canceled a crucial grant that would have supported the producer’s first major manufacturing facility, @akshatrathi.bsky.social @emmarcourt.bsky.social report: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Today, the US EPA scrapped a key scientific determination — that greenhouse gases are harmful — that supports a swath of federal climate policies curbing emissions. It marks President Donald Trump’s most consequential retreat yet from the fight against climate change. More at @bloomberg.com:

When you go in for a medical procedure, the gas putting you to sleep may also be warming the planet. That's prompting regulators and hospitals around the world to move to less-polluting alternatives. Read more in @bloomberg.com:

Exclusive: Can beef products be carbon neutral? Shoppers are increasingly seeing products calling themselves that, but they're not providing the information needed to back these claims up, finds a new @worldresources.bsky.social report.

Red meat is very much back in the new US dietary guidelines, with a bright red steak and a packet of ground beef atop the (inverted) food pyramid. My latest for @bloomberg.com unpacks what that means for the climate

Trash isn't something you often think about when eating at high-end restaurants. But they're generating a lot of it, and a new generation of chefs is trying to change that. My latest for @bloomberg.com:

Spain is giving the SWAT-team treatment to an outbreak of African swine fever, in an effort to stop the disease's spread from wild boar to pig farms (which have been free of it for decades). Milder winters have helped fuel a booming wild boar population in Spanish forests:

Sir… this is quite literally a Whole Foods

What will the impact of the US's green retreat under President Donald Trump be — for the economy and for the world? A fascinating new Bloomberg Economics analysis gives us some hints. Read more @bloomberg.com (gift link!).

Most people don't have high expectations from COP30. But with the US govt intent on wrecking climate policies at home and abroad, things could get testy. For a preview, tune into a conversation later today with Bloomberg's crack team on the ground at COP30. www.bloomberg.com/sessions/202...

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. My latest for @bloomberg.com (free 🎁 link):

Beef is notoriously bad for the environment. Just how bad depends a lot on where in the US you eat it. See how your city stacks up in my latest for @bloomberg.com:

What does “safe” really mean after a wildfire? You might first think of the homes that have been destroyed, but there’s another category of victims that doesn’t often get much attention. Months after the LA fires, they're still trying to get answers. For @bloomberg.com (+ my first Bluesky post!):
