🦟 Dengue Climate Change in Rural Indonesia | 160,000+ Cases Reported in 2025 Explore dengue climate change in Indonesia as warming temperatures and stagnant water increase mosquito breeding. More than 160,000 dengue cases and hundreds of deaths were reported nationwide in 2025.

Dengue is increasingly linked to climate and environmental conditions. Indonesia reported 257k cases in 2024 and more than 161k in 2025. In rural villages, prevention begins by removing stagnant water and controlling mosquito breeding sites.

Repeal of EPA 'endangerment finding' endangers human health | Op-Ed Climate change is happening, it is human-caused and it is damaging human health, two doctors write.

Howard Frumkin, professor emeritus of the UW School of Public Health and Mark Vossler, physician and past president of Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, share how the repeal of EPA endangerment finding harms human health. #PublicHealth #ClimateHealth

Scientific studies calculate climate change as health danger, while Trump calls it a 'scam' The Trump administration has revoked a scientific finding that climate change is a danger to public health, an idea that President Donald Trump called “a scam.”

The science is in, and it's urgent: heat-related 🔥 illnesses in the US have doubled over the last 25 years. 🌡️🩺 This isn't just about the planet; it's about our kids' health. But we can fix this locally! #momsky 🌳💚 #ClimateHealth #UrbanHeat #MomLife #ProtectOurKids

Yesterday great sharing of stories about food, one that stood out was a Turkish children’s lesson of finishing all your food especially the bread made from dough. If you didn’t the Doughy bread monster would haunt you in your dreams! Yikes

Great way to teach #foodwaste

Children are the most vulnerable to air pollution—linked to asthma, preterm birth, cognitive harm & lifelong disease. Protecting clean air is protecting children’s rights. Read the UN SR’s latest report here: https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/61/47

People Are Furious About Coal Ash Deregulation Folks nationwide feel the Trump administration's EPA is abandoning its responsibility to protect communities, and they are speaking out.

Coal ash deregulation is not red tape reform. It’s a threat to water, health, and frontline communities. Earthjustice highlights growing public outrage as EPA moves to weaken hard-won safeguards.

Climate science needs to be at the top of the media agenda. Here’s what researchers can do to make it happen - Bhekisisa Reporters Qaanitah Hunter and Estelle Ellis offer five tips on how researchers can break into the headlines, fight misinformation and make their science count where it matters most.

Most journalists would welcome an email from a scientist saying: "Hey, I see you cover this topic — want to chat?" That's it. That's the pitch. Read five ways climate scientists can work better with the media. #ClimateHealth #ScienceCommunication

False climate claims spread fastest when credible experts stay silent. And accurate information that comes later rarely undoes the damage. Early scientific input isn't optional — it's essential. Here's how to provide it.

A hotter, wetter South is becoming a breeding ground for mold In Asheville, N.C, a housing crisis is colliding with a poorly understood health threat.

In situ cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al reveal the complex exposure and erosion history of the landscape once covered by the Quebec-Labrador Ice Dome Abstract. The rate at which ice sheets erode rock and produce sediment is poorly known. Here, we use paired cosmogenic nuclides in both deglacial and modern sediment to understand better the efficacy ...

Hard to think about science and ice sheets when our president is waging a war of choice but new paper out from our group on glacial erosion in eastern Canada.
