Light pollution has obscured the night sky for nearly 3 billion people, but it’s possible to bring back the Milky Way by making smarter lighting choices. Shielding streetlights, using warm-colored lighting, and dimming unnecessary lights can reduce light pollution by up to 30%, as shown in cities like Canberra. These measures help save energy and restore our connection to the stars, making the Milky Way visible from major cities once again.

Canada’s June 2024 heat wave broke temperature records across the country, with new findings confirming its link to human-caused climate change. The ECCC’s rapid attribution analysis revealed that climate change made this extreme heat event significantly more likely. Understanding these connections is vital for improving adaptation efforts and preparing for more frequent extreme weather events, especially as the impacts on vulnerable populations, including the elderly, grow more severe.

As global temperatures shatter records, we find ourselves in uncharted territory and face unprecedented climate threats. The potential release of methane hydrates—an often overlooked yet potent greenhouse gas—could accelerate global warming beyond control.

Daily temperature swings can increase health risks, particularly for low-income and minority communities. Learn how large temperature variations affect respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, and who is most vulnerable.
