Extreme Temperatures Increase Heat-Related Mortality Among People in Texas Prisons

The U.S. has the world's largest population of prisoners, and Texas holds more incarcerated people than any other state. As climate change continues to increase the severity, frequency and duration of heat waves, the approximately 160,000 individuals in Texas prisons -; as well as the people who work in these settings -; come under intense physical duress in prisons without climate controls, according to a new study led by researchers at Brown University's School of Public Health.

Climate Warming Drives an Exponential Increase in Fires in the Arctic

The Siberian Arctic experienced an unusual number of fires in 2019 and 2020. This raised concerns in the scientific community, as the Arctic has large areas of permafrost, a permanently frozen layer of subsoil that accumulates large amounts of carbon. Fires damage the permafrost and contribute to the release of carbon emissions in the form of greenhouse gases.

Study Shows Factors Driving Inland Water CO2 Emissions

Carbon emissions from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs include a huge proportion of the carbon cycle worldwide. New studies on carbon release from inland waters in China have concentrated on single rivers or lakes, and the fundamental factors driving carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions remain vague.
