The US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a report in 2022 saying health care providers should counsel and test patients who are more likely to have elevated PFAS exposure based on where they live or work.

CLIMATEWIRE | When global leaders meet later this year to negotiate climate action, the urgency to cut planet-warming emissions will be starker than ever before. The world now needs to cut emissions by 60 percent by 2035 — compared with 2019 levels — to avoid increasingly severe heat, flooding, drought and extreme weather that will make parts of the world unlivable. That’s a key conclusion of the latest assessment from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is made up of the world’s leading climate scientists. That target exceeds the 43 percent reduction by 2030 that countries have been…

Everywhere you look these days, people are talking about artificial intelligence.

Heat waves are happening at the bottom of the ocean, a new study finds. And these so-called “bottom marine heat waves” can be devastating because they last longer than surface heat waves and affect many key species, such as lobster and cod.It’s long been known that spikes in surface water temperature can devastate an ocean’s ecosystem. For example, from 2013 to 2016, the surface waters of the Pacific Ocean along the North American coastline warmed up in a phenomenon dubbed “the blob,” which led to the deaths of 1 million seabirds because their main meal source (fish) had been severely impacted.But something…
