As humans heat the planet, largely by burning fossil fuels, more people are dying in extreme heat. Their deaths are often recorded as accidents or attributed to other conditions that heat exacerbates. This piece tells the tragic stories of people who died preventably in extreme heat in Phoenix, AZ.

Cars ruin cities in more ways than just running people over.

Paris has reduced air pollution by 50-55% over the past 20 years through policies limiting traffic and banning polluting vehicles.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
