Cold weather linked to 40,000 extra heart deaths each year in the U.S. #UnitedStates

Cold weather linked to 40,000 extra heart deaths each year in the U.S.
When temperatures plunge, the risk to your heart rises dramatically. A large U.S. study shows cold weather is linked to far more cardiovascular deaths than heat, accounting for tens of thousands of extra deaths each year. Scientists found the safest temperature sits around 74°F, with danger increasing as conditions get colder—or hotter. As more people live with chronic illnesses, the threat from extreme cold may only intensify.

Record-smashing heat continues: 'Basically the entire U.S. is going to be hot'
After smashing March heat records in 14 states and the U.S. as a whole, the gigantic heat dome that's baked the Southwest is creeping eastward and may end up being one of the most expansive heat waves in American history, meteorologists and weather historians said.

March heat surges past 100 in California and Arizona, smashing records #UnitedStates

March heat surges past 100 in California and Arizona, smashing records
A burst of unusual March heat is hitting the United States this week and into next, busting previous monthly heat records by wide margins. While heat is most acutely felt by people exposed to it, graphics and charts convey the scale of this extreme event. Temperatures in the West remain far above what's typical for March, a sign the early season heat is not letting up. Compared with the average highs for March between 1991 and 2020, temperatures across some parts of Oklahoma, Nebraska, northern…

Record-breaking heat wave grips western US
A record early heat wave striking the west of the United States on Friday is a one-in-500-years type event and all but certainly the result of human-caused climate change, experts say.

The western US is in a snow drought. Here's how a storm made it worse
Much of the western U.S. has started in 2026 in the midst of a snow drought. That might sound surprising, given the record precipitation from atmospheric rivers hitting the region in recent weeks, but those storms were actually part of the problem.

Research shows 41 US states are getting warmer, all in slightly different ways
Different regions of the United States are experiencing different patterns of warming climate, requiring region-specific adaptation, according to a study published in PLOS Climate by María Dolores Gadea Rivas of the University of Zaragoza, Spain and Jesús Gonzalo of University Carlos III, Spain.

Trump's EPA decides climate change doesn't endanger public health—the evidence says otherwise
The Trump administration took a major step in its efforts to unravel America's climate policies on Feb. 12, 2026, when it moved to rescind the 2009 endangerment finding—a formal determination that six greenhouse gases that drive climate change, including carbon dioxide and methane from burning fossil fuels, endanger public health and welfare.

New database reveals how Americans use water
Water powers our lives. It feeds our crops, keeps factories running, generates electricity, and fills our taps. But until now, no one had a clear, national picture of how much water we're using—and for what.

Limiting global warming can reduce US wildfire smoke-related deaths by thousands annually #UnitedStates

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…

The US used to be really dirty: Environmental cleanup laws have made a huge difference
Growing up in the 1970s, I took for granted the trash piles along the highway, tires washed up on beaches, and smog fouling city air. The famed "Crying Indian" commercial of 1971 became a symbol of widespread environmental damage across the United States.
