Extreme temperature rises are set to hit hardest in the US cities where populations are forecast to expand at the fastest rate, according to data from our Climate Risk Dataset. Our analysis shows that by mid-century, Houston, Orlando, San Antonio, Austin, McAllen, and Cape Coral will, on current emissions trajectories, be among the 10 US cities with the greatest increase in days exceeding 35°C, known as hot days.

Unless the current emissions trajectory changes, 11 of the 30 countries responsible for almost 90% of carbon pollution could be facing some of the severest impacts of climate change, especially from heat. Data from our Climate Hazard Index, which forms part of our Climate Risk Dataset, shows that major emitting markets, such as Brazil, India, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and the UAE, will be among the most exposed countries globally for climate impacts if emissions policies stay as they are.

Genuinely one of the best pieces I've read this year. Truly odd, very satisfying. More of this kind of thing!
I spent months investigating a heinous crime: the wrongest bird in the history of cinema. Tonight the results of my investigation are in print for the first time. (🧵) https://t.co/JiXzc0s9FV
“There’s quite a few scientists that say we don’t need to get to net zero by 2050.” Bowie and his office were unable to name such scientists when pressed. Hmmm https://t.co/kMObAm5gYn
