Limiting Global Warming Can Reduce U.S. Wildfire Smoke Related Deaths by Thousands Annually - SBU News Stony Brook-led study estimated the economic and social costs of wildfire smoke pollution in climate scenarios; findings published in PNAS STONY BROOK, NY, March 2, 2026 – Using future climate scenari...

🚨 New data: We can save 11k+ American lives every year if we limit warming. Wildfire 🔥 smoke isn't just haze; it's a health crisis for our kids' lungs. 💨 We have the power to change the forecast. #MomsForCleanAir #ClimateHealth #ProtectOurKids #ActNow

Imagine the differences in #extremeheat & #airpollution in our cities if we switched from #fossilfuel based transportation to #electricbuses

Besides the #climatehealth benefits of less respiratory & cardiovascular illness, it saves money, & everyone loves money.

Capstone by: Aditya Lankalapalli

We blame people for inactivity.
But heat is changing behavior.

Global data: hotter months → less movement → more deaths.
Up to 700,000 by 2050.

This isn’t awareness failure. It’s design failure.
Build cooler, walkable cities—or watch inactivity become the default. #ClimateHealth

Starting to share Capstone projects from amazing medical students on #climatehealth topics.

Evilina looked at ways to stay safe in #extremeheat with special considerations to those observing #Ramadan

#covid19 pandemic did give us hope with #sustainabletransportation leading to cleaner air and water.
Decreasing #fossilfuel consumption decreases air pollution leading to improved health.

This MS4 capstone project overviews the #climatehealth implications. Great work Kobe!

Day 7 we discussed race, climate & health- very connected!
#Colonialism led to the #castesystem led to racial inequities in wealth, investment in communities and health.
#Structuredracism in a plantation economy was magnified by redlining led to worse #climatehealth outcomes that persist today.

Research from his team links long-term wildfire smoke exposure to higher mortality risk among older adults. Studies also suggest heat + smoke together may heighten risks.

🦟 Dengue Climate Change in Rural Indonesia | 160,000+ Cases Reported in 2025 Explore dengue climate change in Indonesia as warming temperatures and stagnant water increase mosquito breeding. More than 160,000 dengue cases and hundreds of deaths were reported nationwide in 2025.

Dengue is increasingly linked to climate and environmental conditions. Indonesia reported 257k cases in 2024 and more than 161k in 2025. In rural villages, prevention begins by removing stagnant water and controlling mosquito breeding sites.

Repeal of EPA 'endangerment finding' endangers human health | Op-Ed Climate change is happening, it is human-caused and it is damaging human health, two doctors write.

Howard Frumkin, professor emeritus of the UW School of Public Health and Mark Vossler, physician and past president of Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, share how the repeal of EPA endangerment finding harms human health. #PublicHealth #ClimateHealth

Scientific studies calculate climate change as health danger, while Trump calls it a 'scam' The Trump administration has revoked a scientific finding that climate change is a danger to public health, an idea that President Donald Trump called “a scam.”

The science is in, and it's urgent: heat-related 🔥 illnesses in the US have doubled over the last 25 years. 🌡️🩺 This isn't just about the planet; it's about our kids' health. But we can fix this locally! #momsky 🌳💚 #ClimateHealth #UrbanHeat #MomLife #ProtectOurKids

Yesterday great sharing of stories about food, one that stood out was a Turkish children’s lesson of finishing all your food especially the bread made from dough. If you didn’t the Doughy bread monster would haunt you in your dreams! Yikes

Great way to teach #foodwaste

Children are the most vulnerable to air pollution—linked to asthma, preterm birth, cognitive harm & lifelong disease. Protecting clean air is protecting children’s rights. Read the UN SR’s latest report here: https://docs.un.org/en/A/HRC/61/47

People Are Furious About Coal Ash Deregulation Folks nationwide feel the Trump administration's EPA is abandoning its responsibility to protect communities, and they are speaking out.

Coal ash deregulation is not red tape reform. It’s a threat to water, health, and frontline communities. Earthjustice highlights growing public outrage as EPA moves to weaken hard-won safeguards.
