Climate change

 EcoWatch -  More than $14 billion in clean energy projects have been canceled or delayed in the United States since January, according to a new analysis by Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2), a nonprofit clean energy business group. The 2025 losses have also cost 10,000 new jobs in low-carbon energy and clean vehicle factories, a press release from E2 said.

EcoWatch -   Human-caused climate change added an extra 30 days of extreme heat for more than four billion people worldwide over the course of a year, a new report has found. 

The report, a joint effort by the World Weather Attribution, Climate Central and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center, assessed the human impact on global heatwaves over the past 12 months. It was released ahead of the Red Cross’ Heat Action Day on June 2, meant to raise awareness of extreme heat events. This year’s theme is centered on recognizing and responding to heat stroke. 

The report found that in 195 countries and territories, climate change has at least doubled the number of extreme heat days compared to a world without climate change. The Caribbean country of Aruba saw the highest number of extreme heat days at 187, compared to an estimated 45 days without climate change. Out of the 12 countries and territories that were most impacted by extreme heat — which saw an average of more than 137 extreme heat days above zero-emission scenarios — 11 were in the Caribbean, and one, Micronesia, is in Oceania.
