This idealized chart shows how, as our climate changes and temperatures increase, the risk for extreme heat like the bout we are currently experiencing also increases. We are seeing this in real-time, with record warmth significantly outpacing record cold: ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datato…

Countries are creating more "marine protected areas," partly to reach the goal of protecting (in some form) 30% of the planet for biodiversity by 2030. I came across a new Smithsonian study that suggests these areas might help people, too. In NYT Climate: nytimes.com/2023/06/22/cli…

Do you want to see some (very cute, very endangered, very mysterious) baby turtles? nytimes.com/2023/06/24/cli…

“The turtles … are critically endangered and found only in #Myanmar. Their common name comes from black and orange spots on their shells, reminiscent of peacock feathers. Scientists know little about the animals.” By ⁦Delger Erdenesanaa⁩ in The New York Times nytimes.com/2023/06/24/cli…

A study of marine-protected areas off the Central American coast found that people living close to these areas had better food security and greater household wealth. nyti.ms/3pfM3ns

“The hatchlings — little pancakes on surprisingly quick legs...” By Delger Erdenesanaa nytimes.com/2023/06/24/cli…

Texas is a bellwether for the rest of the nation and our latest climate change-induced heatwave is a terrifying preview of what’s to come: “We’re in a new regime with new rules, and no one knows quite what those rules are,” as one expert told me. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

EMS providers and ERs in Texas are seeing hundreds of patients with heat-related illnesses. I reported on what we know so far about the public health impacts of the heat wave w/ Gina Jiménez for Inside Climate News insideclimatenews.org/news/28062023/…

During this TX heat wave, at least 5 prisoners have died of cardiac arrest/heart attack. Tommy “TJ” McCullough, 35, collapsed while mowing a prison field Friday. TDCJ hasn’t acknowledged heat caused a death in uncooled prisons since 2012. #txlege texastribune.org/2023/06/28/tex…

One climate change worry is extreme precipitation — when a LOT of rain or snow falls at once. Rain is more dangerous, because it causes more floods and landslides. As rising temps turn snow into rain... you can guess where that's going. In NYT Climate: nytimes.com/2023/06/28/cli…

One way to contextualize the next few day's heat in the US southwest: On average, the hottest time of the year in Tucson, AZ - with an average high of 102ºF - is late June/early July. The forecast high on Monday is now 111°F, tying the record high for the day set back in 1989.

Looking to talk to people who have personal experiences with extreme weather and disasters for a NYT Climate story -- especially in California! Feel free to DM me.

We asked all 50 states about their groundwater rules. Their answers reveal dizzying laws full of gaps that make it even harder to protect aquifers. W/⁦Delger Erdenesanaa⁩ nytimes.com/interactive/20…
