Limiting global warming can reduce US wildfire smoke-related deaths by thousands annually
Using future climate scenarios based on wildfire damages in North America, scientists estimate that up to 10,000 or more lives may be saved annually in the United States if society is able to mitigate climate change by keeping the global mean surface temperature (GMST) at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-Industrial age (1850-1900) levels. Currently, the GMST is at 1.3 to 1.4 degrees C but is projected to reach 3 degrees C with the current direction of climate change. The findings are detailed in a…

This is an indictment of not only the US, but the entire global order. The UN was created specifically to prevent this type of existential threat, and it is time to face the fact that it has failed. The entire world has failed repeatedly to address globally destabilizing dictators including Putin, Xi, and Trump. The global order has failed to address the existential threat of pandemics, microplastics, and climate change.
It's easy to look at the US and acknowledge the failure from the outside, but it's also important to look in the mirror and acknowledge the failure of everyone and everything that was built to prevent this.
We need to build a better world, not just in the US but everywhere. The world is too interconnected, our capacity for destruction is too great, to individualize systemic failures like this.

Study reveals hidden climate impact of digital industries
Digital technologies are widely viewed as drivers of efficiency, growth, and innovation. However, their contribution to climate change is significantly greater than previously understood. A new study published in the journal Communications Sustainability shows that digital industries were responsible for about 4.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. The bulk of these emissions were not captured by existing emissions accounting standards or official climate assessments.

Study says millions more are exposed to rising seas than thought
A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot or about 30 centimeters. The discrepancy stems from widespread reliance on gravitational models that account for Earth’s gravity and rotation but overlook local drivers of sea level including tides, currents and wind. Correcting this suggests a 1-meter or 3-foot rise could inundate up to 37% more land and threaten as many as 132 million more people. And tha…

Why cutting down rainforests may be driving 28,000 heat deaths a year
Tropical forests are hot, steamy places. But when large numbers of trees are cut down, they get even hotter. Our recent research in Nature Climate Change shows that clearing large areas of the rainforest exposes hundreds of millions of people to higher temperatures, increasing heat stress (when the body's way of controlling temperature fails) and, in some cases, contributing to death.
