Fossil Fuel Subsidies Are Just Stupid — Bloomberg
The title of new report by the Grantham Institute at London’s Imperial College says it all: “Summer heat deaths in 854 European cities more than tripled due to climate change.” “Extreme heat is the deadliest type of weather and officially reported heat deaths remain significantly underestimated,” the researchers wrote. “We … [continued]

Heat waves and cold snaps: Study finds the Great Lakes have entered an era of extremes
The Great Lakes, like the rest of the world, are dealing with a phenomenon of global heating caused mostly by fossil fuel emissions. In an innovative new study from the University of Michigan, the data reveals it’s not just rising average temperatures we need to worry about. Looking back at lake surface temperatures (LST) over forty years, researchers found the Great Lakes have entered a new era of temperature extremes.
Analysis: Record UK Wildfires Have Burned an Area Twice the Size of Glasgow in 2025
Wildfires have scorched more than 40,000 hectares of land so far this year across the UK — an area more than twice the size of the Scottish city of Glasgow. This is already a record amount of land burned in a single year, far exceeding the previous high, Global Wildfire Information … [continued]

Fossil-Fuelled Heat Has Caused Tropical Birds to Decline by “Up to 38%” since 1950s
An uptick in heat extremes, driven by human-caused climate change, has caused tropical bird populations to decline by up to 38% since the 1950s, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis. The study combines ecological and climate attribution techniques to trace the fingerprint of fossil-fuelled climate change on declining wildlife populations. It … [continued]
