Climate change is making life more expensive, and Americans are increasingly connecting the dots. From higher utility bills to costly extreme weather, our communities are paying the price while Big Oil cashes in. @YaleClimateComm @Mason4C time.com/article/2026/06/11/…

The #WorldCup is one wildfire 🔥 away from an air quality disaster FIFA says it's prepared for "climate-related risks" but doesn't appear to have a plan for wildfire smoke, which can be harmful to players and fans. grist.org/extreme-weather/th…

🚨Hot summer days are dangerous. But hot summer nights can be just as harmful.🚨 From June 8–12, millions across the U.S. are expected to experience unusually warm overnight temperatures, with lows running 5°F–15°F above average in many areas.

Extreme heat is not just a weather issue. It is a cardiovascular issue. As a heart surgeon, I have seen how the heart responds under stress. Heat can contribute to dehydration, increased cardiac workload, vascular strain, and greater risk for people already living with heart disease. A major new @JAMACardio article makes clear: heat preparedness belongs in preventive health. Read it here: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Extremely hot June-July days are on the rise at nearly all of the #WorldCup stadiums. This is a dangerous decision that puts fans at risk. “They are saying water is essential to the players’ safety. But for the fans, they are saying water is not essential, it is a commodity."
Exclusive @TheAthleticFC FIFA make last-gasp change to World Cup stadium rules: BANNING fans from bringing refillable plastic bottles, so fans must buy water in stadia As of May, empty bottles permitted so fans could refill amid heat concerns. Not now nytimes.com/athletic/7331461…

Wildfires in 2025 were the costliest on record, with a price tag of at least $54 billion—a conservative estimate that doesn't include indirect losses like missed workdays, business closures, and added pressure on health care systems. nytimes.com/2026/05/31/clima…

The world around us shapes the health within us. Here’s what a career in the operating room taught me about where disease really begins, and why nature may be one of our most powerful prescriptions:

When they cause harm, health professionals recognize the need for accountability. Shouldn’t fossil fuel companies? In a new #ClimateCheckup, Drs. Lisa Del Buono & Steven Schroeder examine Big Oil immunity and the familiar playbook behind it. @medpagetoday medpagetoday.com/opinion/cli…

It can be difficult to understand how regulatory decisions impact our health and climate. So we created a board game- 'the Real Game of Life'- for players to experience how different community members experience policy. Want to play this with your students or team? Let us know!

🌡️ During extreme heat, it’s important to check on neighbors, family, friends, and coworkers, especially those at highest risk. Staying connected, knowing how to reduce exposure, or simply raising awareness can make all the difference. heat.gov/who-is-most-at-risk… @HeatGov #HeatSafety
