Extreme heat is a killer. A recent heat wave shows how much more deadly it’s becoming
CNN, July 9, 2025 - Extreme heat is a killer and its impact is becoming far, far deadlier as the human-caused climate crisis supercharges temperatures, according to a new study, which estimates global warming tripled the number of deaths in the recent European heat wave.
For more than a week, temperatures in many parts of Europe spiked above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Tourist attractions closed, wildfires ripped through several countries, and people struggled to cope on a continent where air conditioning is rare.
The outcome was deadly. Thousands of people are estimated to have lost their lives, according to a first-of-its-kind rapid analysis study published Wednesday. READ MORE
Trump Hires Scientists Who Doubt the Consensus on Climate Change
New York Times, July 8, 2025 - The Energy Department has hired at least three scientists who are well-known for their rejection of the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, according to records reviewed by The New York Times.
The scientists are listed in the Energy Department’s internal email system as current employees of the agency, the records show. They are Steven E. Koonin, a physicist and author of a best-selling book that calls climate science “unsettled”; John Christy, an atmospheric scientist who doubts the extent to which human activity has caused global warming; and Roy Spencer, a meteorologist who believes that clouds have had a greater influence on warming than humans have.

Extreme weather events like Texas rain are more likely to occur due to climate change
ABC News July 7, 2025 - Torrential rains and "catastrophic" flash flooding that hit central Texas over the holiday weekend have left more than 100 people dead, including dozens of children.

Although it is impossible to say that specific weather events are due to -- or caused by -- climate change, it is likely that extreme rainfall and flooding have been amplified due to human-induced climate change, climate scientists told ABC News. READ MORE
