Climate change is intensifying extreme weather events. Yet a systematic analysis of post-disaster healthcare utilization and outcomes for severe weather and climate disasters, as tracked by the US government, is lacking. Following exposure to 42 US billion-dollar weather disasters (severe storm, flood...
As a critical first step towards improved crop response functions which account for the impact of temperature extremes, we review the current knowledge on the impacts of extreme heat and frost on crop production and how these impacts are incorporated into contemporary process-based crop models. By ...

MORE: Mix of extreme heat and wildfire smoke can be very dangerous, experts say Carroll said that lithium can cause the kidneys to release more water, leading to increased urination and sweating, which can cause dehydration. This can also cause lithium levels in the body...
(Supplementary Fig.3a). The contributions from the heat dome to extreme high-temperature anomalies are similar (approximately 50%) in all three cases, indicating that the estimation of circulation contribution is robust against the domain size. Specifically, the contribution from the heat dome would...
