In this op-ed for @sciam, #CornellVet's Dr. Alistair Hayden (@CornellMPH) argues that, with climate change making heat waves longer or more intense, FEMA must declare heat waves a disaster - and unleash the resources necessary to mitigate them. https://t.co/EyinFEZi6d

The coal that fuels the brick kilns that literally make the building blocks of India’s economic boom is stored in open air piers in South Baltimore, coating a residential neighborhood in coal dust, now the coal is stuck https://t.co/dtr50bXqCe
