Axios- Many global destinations that were once ideal for summer travel are now on the decline because of extreme heat. Some of the world's natural wonders have been so severely altered by our warming planet that it's getting too late to save them. People are choosing cooler places — including Amsterdam and Copenhagen — for summer and saving warmer countries for September or October, travel agents told The Times.
- Coastal towns in New Jersey and Florida that are typically popular in the summer are being hit with "sunny-day floods" — flooding that's due to rising seas, rather than storms.
- The world lost about 15% of its coral reefs in the last decade, the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network estimates.
- In Montana, some of Glacier National Park's glaciers have lost more than 80% of their size in the past 50 years, CNN reports.
- Greenland is building three new airports to accommodate more international flights as it sees a rise in visitors.
