Increasing temperatures are already killing huge numbers of people.

A ProPublica and @us.theguardian.com analysis found that Trump’s “America First” agenda is expected to add substantially to the toll, with the vast majority of deaths occurring outside the U.S.

By @fastlerner.bsky.social
Trump’s Anti-Green Agenda Could Lead to 1.3 Million More Climate Deaths. The Poorest Countries Will Be Impacted Most.
Most of the people expected to suffer these temperature-related deaths live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

We got enough rain the past couple of weeks that fire season is canceled this year. Given the past several years, I am very grateful for this. #cawx https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/southern-california-fire-season-is-all-but-over-recent-rains
Southern California can breathe a sigh of relief: Fire season is all but over
After all the rain we've had lately, large fires likely won't be a concern until deep into 2026.

For the first time, scientists are tracking the migration of monarch butterflies across much of North America, actively monitoring individual insects on journeys. It could provide crucial insights into the life cycles of hundreds of flying insects at a time when many are in steep decline.
We Can Now Track Individual Monarch Butterflies. It’s a Revelation.
Scientists used tiny new sensors to follow the insects on journeys that take thousands of miles to their winter colonies in Mexico.

The Trump administration plans to propose new oil and gas drilling off the California coast for the first time in roughly four decades, since an enormous oil spill near Santa Barbara in 1969 shocked the nation and helped to galvanize the environmental movement. nyti.ms/47WvBuz
Trump Is Said to Have a Plan to Open California Waters to Drilling
The move would set up a clash with Gov. Gavin Newsom, a chief critic of the president and an opponent of oil exploration in the Pacific.
