Over the past 150 years, Earth’s entire surface has been warming, except for one patch of the north Atlantic. Located south-east of Greenland, this area has cooled by as much as 1°C and is known as the “warming hole” or the “cold blob”.

Scientists have been split over why this cold blob exists, but the latest evidence backs up the idea that it is caused by a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the system of currents that transports warmth from the tropics to Europe.

County of Ventura

"We want your feedback! Share your experiences with extreme heat

Hotter temperatures and warmer days can affect daily life across Ventura County, especially for those who work outdoors, older adults, children, and residents with limited access to cooling resources.

The Ventura County Heat Action Plan is a community-focused effort led by the County of Ventura's Sustainability Division and Ventura County Public Health in partnership with local community partners to better understand community needs and identify practical ways to prepare for periods of extreme heat.

Community input is an important part of the process, and residents are encouraged to participate in the survey to help shape future planning efforts.

The Denver Post: Denver will raffle off $1,000 in gift cards for commuters, residents who ditch their cars more often

Monthly gift card drawings, discounts at local businesses and restaurants are part of ‘Shift 2’ program

"The Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure is handing out $1,000 in gift cards each month to people who live or work in Denver and choose to commute or run errands without a car twice per week.

To enter in the “Shift 2 City Wide” program, participants must log two non-car trips each week that would otherwise be solo driving trips. That could mean walking, biking, scooting, carpooling or taking public transit instead."
