During the summer of 2023, Matthew Schneider-Mayerson and a team of fellow researchers binge-watched 250 of the most-rated movies from the past decade—purely for research purposes. The group was primarily keeping an eye out for one thing: Is climate change mentioned? In most cases, the answer is no. Only 13 percent of the films had any sort of acknowledgment of this massive problem changing the world and our everyday lives, according to the study, which was published in February.

Despite the mandate, many of those affected by the layoffs waited for days to hear the fate of their roles.

Salt is starting to pollute the freshwater sources people rely on. Global sea levels rose faster than expected last year, largely due to warming ocean temperatures, a new NASA analysis found. As seawater creeps further into coastlines, salt threatens to pollute the freshwater reserves that people depend on.

Global sea levels rose faster than expected last year, largely due to warming ocean temperatures, a new NASA analysis found. As seawater creeps further into coastlines, salt threatens to pollute the freshwater reserves that people depend on. But this brine isn’t just coming from the ocean: New research shows freshwater ecosystems are facing widespread dual threats of salt contamination from the sea and land, made worse by climate change.

This story originally appeared on Inside Climate News and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. More than 200 wildfires broke out in the southeastern US last week, marking an active start to the region’s annual fire season. A particularly large fire in a forest near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, forced dozens of evacuations and scorched more than 2,000 acres of land. Firefighters have largely contained the most severe blazes, but fire risk remains high in parts of the region.
