Air pollution linked to dementia, Parkinson’s and autism. Microplastics, nanoplastics, silica, metals, soot and other debris — is getting through to our brains. One suspect: Hotter, drier conditions are fueling wildfires and their smoke. @arianaeunjung washingtonpost.com/health/20…

A dangerous and unpredictable climate is here. Every week this summer and fall has brought record-setting heat or historic storms: July was the hottest month ever for the contiguous US. In California the last four days were over 100F. @elijahwolfson washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Climate Change Is Increasing Simultaneous Exposure to Heat Waves and Wildfire Smoke when each is dangerous alone. More than 1 billion people per year were exposed to heat waves and fire pollution at the same time from 2010-19, a sharp jump. @Katie_Surma insideclimatenews.org/news/1…

Our take: By backing the new rules, US carmakers are putting short-term profits ahead of their ability to compete with Chinese advanced-tech EV. The new rule is a Trojan SUV. U.S. manufacturers risk losing global market share and watching jobs and profits go up in smog.
Our take:Trump’s reduction of fuel efficiency standards will harm consumers, the climate and even automakers.The standards saved consumers $5 trillion on gas and prevented 14 billion tons of carbon from spewing into the atmosphere. @CenterForBioDiv washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
