Health burden of air pollution differs across racial groups
Air pollution has decreased across the U.S., but new research finds health burdens remain unequal among racial groups. Health benefits that have resulted from reductions in fine particulate air pollution aren-t distributed equally among populations in the U.S., a new Yale-led study finds. Racial and ethnic minorities - and Black people in particular - still experience disproportionately high rates of cardiovascular disease-related deaths caused by exposure to fine particulate matter, according to the research.

How Scientists Are Helping Cities Adapt to Extreme Heat
Since early July, the Earth has sweltered under record-breaking heat. In the United States, from California and the Desert Southwest to Texas and Florida, a long-lasting heat wave in the triple digits has broken dozens of heat records - and counting. To mitigate the risks of living in extreme heat, scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ÜBerkeley Lab) are working with city, state, and federal agencies as well as nonprofits to develop policy recommendations and toolkits that will help disadvantaged communities adapt and thrive in a warming climate.

Is a critical system of ocean currents headed toward an imminent collapse?
Like the 60,000 miles of arteries and veins that course throughout the human body, ocean currents are the lifeblood of our planet-some flowing short distances, others circling the globe, but all playing a critical role in regulating climate. One of the most complex system of currents, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a global conveyor belt, distributing heat throughout the Atlantic by carrying warmer waters north and cooler waters south.
