Researchers warn that warmer weather is helping mosquitoes spread dangerous diseases like malaria and dengue

A century of data shows bed nets, drugs and growing cities explain much of why malaria and dengue went separate ways as the planet warmed.

Future warming events will outdo the extreme heat waves of the recent past, new study finds

The extreme heat waves we have seen over the last few years may only serve as a preview of what is to come as a result of climate change. A new study led by researcher Philipp Aglas-Leitner from Freie Universität Berlin, published in Nature Communications, finds that future heat waves could last longer, impact larger areas, and be much more severe.

Extreme heat is creating a workplace health crisis in Bangladesh's garment industry

Rising temperatures in Bangladesh are creating an occupational health crisis for the 4.2 million workers in the country’s garment industry, reports Mongabay contributor Usraat Fahmidah. A World Bank report shows that maximum temperatures across the country have climbed by about 1.1° Celsius (2° Fahrenheit) since 1980. The country’s capital, Dhaka, hit a record 40.6°C (105°F) […]

Climate change is making the tropics hotter

A new study finds that tropical areas often thought to be safe from the effects of climate change are actually experiencing significant changes in rainfall and extreme temperature events. The paper, "Shifting climate in Caribbean tropical forests: Long-term trends at La Selva (Costa Rica) and El Verde (Puerto Rico)," is published in PLOS Climate.

Extreme heat no longer confined to summer, extending health risks, study finds

There was a time when, across large swathes of the world, the seasons fed into each other in a relatively predictable cycle of warmer and colder weather. In temperate nations, frigid winter thawed into spring. Spring bloomed into summer, where extreme heat beat down until cooler weather provided autumn’s relief. No longer. A recent study […]

Summer 2026 heat toll exceeded 50,000 deaths in European cities, analysis estimates

More than 50,000 heat-related deaths are estimated to have occurred in urban areas across Europe during summer 2026, with around two-thirds attributed to human-induced climate change, according to new research led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Imperial College London.

We must prepare entire cities for extreme heat. Our new study reveals how

In Australia, the days are growing longer and summer is fast approaching. But a very strong El Niño—a natural weather phenomenon that drives variations in temperature and winds across the Pacific—could make this summer a sweltering one.

At least €16 BILLION: the estimated cost of France’s 2026 heatwaves and wildfires, according to a parliamentary report. People are hurting. They need real funding to stay safe: cooler homes and schools, early-warning systems, firefighters and healthcare workers. TAX obscene oil and gas profits.
