HOTTEST OCEAN

The world’s oceans were hotter than ever previously recorded this week. Intensified by the fast-developing El Niño, this record-breaking ocean heat is unusual for this time of year.

WHO DRAINED IT?

Major fossil fuel polluters are responsible for about half of the climate-driven water losses in the U.S. West. The new findings put fresh focus on who is responsible for the region's shrinking snowpack and river flows.

0
RAIN CHECK

Puerto Rico is rationing water due to a historic drought. But a simple, local solution may be the answer: rainwater harvesting. Billions of gallons of rainwater could be captured each year if the government stepped up.

HEAT + CHEMICALS

Rising temperatures can make pesticide exposure even more dangerous for farmworkers. The cycle will only worsen as warming temperatures will likely expand pesticide use, exposing more workers.

0
DISAPPEARING DATA

The EPA’s data on cancer risk from air pollution has quietly gone dark. For decades, researchers and communities have relied on the data to hold polluters accountable. So now what?

TOXIC BLOOMS

Smoke and ash from wildfires are causing algal blooms. They’re becoming so dense that the colors of lakes and seas are changing, creating dead zones in the water once the blooms die.
