Human exposure to wildfires in the US more than doubled in the past two decades. A climate scientist looked at who is at risk and why.

More extreme rainfall and frequent storms are raising the risk that floodwaters could spill over dams, or that dams could fail.

Three economists looked at years of temperature and death data and calculated the costs when forecasts miss the mark.

Parts of New York’s Hudson Valley were hit with 10 inches of rain, and the mountains of Vermont – where runoff can quickly turn deadly – saw some its worst flooding since Hurricane Irene.

Homeowners in mostly white communities prefer to risk another flood rather than move to a more diverse neighborhood on safer ground.
