"Already diminished by drought and extreme heat, California’s water supply will face yet another peril as wildfires continue to incinerate ever larger areas of forested land, according to new research."
"Extreme heat in the world’s oceans passed the “point of no return” in 2014 and has become the new normal, according to research."
"When it comes to measuring global warming, humidity, not just heat, matters in generating dangerous climate extremes, a new study finds."
"Customers saddled with paying 600 times the usual price for energy as regulators are accused of being too close to the industry they monitor".
"Simultaneous high levels of the two pollutants, which harm human health, are occurring with increasing frequency, researchers say."
"Dangerous levels of two air pollutants, ozone and smoke, are occurring in tandem with increasing frequency over widespread parts of the Western United States where millions of people live, researchers said Wednesday.
The two harmful pollutants are a result of worsening wildfires and extreme heat, and researchers suggest the increase is linked to climate change.
