The next great climate divide will be between countries that have the resources to adapt and those that don’t This summer, much of the media’s attention has focused on record temperatures across Europe and the United States. Television coverage has been filled with familiar images: heat maps shaded deep red, schools closing, rail lines slowing, wildfires spreading and emergency rooms treating growing numbers of people with heat-related illnesses. Public officials have responded with equally familiar advice: stay indoors, drink plenty of water and, if possible, turn on the air conditioning. Continue reading...

Vulnerable people more at risk as research finds only half of local authority plans require cooling strategies England risks constructing a new generation of “death trap” buildings that can fatally overheat unless the government tightens standards and prioritises climate safeguards, planning experts have said.

Yet only about half of local plans being drawn up by councils and local authorities require new buildings to have a cooling or ventilation strategy to prevent overheating, according to findings from the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA).

Mathellaneous is one of several free museums that can be found on the Emporia State University campus. However, one could argue that a similar space can not be found within at least a 1000-mile radius of it. Better than a museum, this space is completely interactive where visitors are allowed to investigate and explore everything on exhibit. Designed by ESU students and faculty, this humble space only fills two rooms, yet could take several hours to fully digest. Various 3D-printed puzzles are the main attraction with a wide range of difficulties. Elementary age children and older can solve simpler puzzles, while dedicated puzzlers can tackle more difficult challenges, including some puzzles created specifically for Mathellaneous. The historical section includes textbooks from the 1800s…
