Urban heat islands: Map shows the hottest neighborhoods in Denver, Colorado Springs

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:52:40 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Winter may be around the corner, but that doesn't mean different parts of the city will all feel the same temperature. The urban heat island effect may be to blame.The way a city is designed can make hot weather feel even worse. The temperature on your block is influenced by everything from the number of trees on the street to the color of the pavement. When trees and vegetation (which absorb heat) are replaced by buildings and roads (which can radiate heat), it feels hotter. "The heat island effect can result in significant temperature differences between rural and urban areas," explains the Environmental Protection Agency. Goodbye, snowy Colorado winters? New climate report offers dry projections Climate Central, an organization of scientists and journalists focused on studying the impacts of climate change, broke down 44 cities into Census blocks to determine which neighborhoods suffer from the worst urban heat effects.

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:52:40 GMT

The European Union’s population shrank by 265,257 during the COVID-19 pandemic years, the EU’s statistics agency Eurostat said Tuesday.The pandemic “played a role” in the downfall, which took place between January 2021 and January 2022, Eurostat said in a press release.“This reduction could be attributed to natural population changes (more deaths than births)” whereas migration rates remained positive, meaning there were more people entering the EU than leaving it, the press release said.According to calculations from the European Commission, the COVID-19 pandemic led to excess mortality of at least 872,000 deaths in the bloc’s 27 member countries in less than a year and a half.This means an extra 872,000 people died in Europe between March 2020 and July 2021 compared to the average number of deaths on the Continent in the five previous years.

Germany freezes new spending as budget crisis deepens

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:52:40 GMT

BERLIN — Germany’s finance ministry has imposed a spending freeze on all federal ministries, deepening a budget crisis that has rocked the ruling coalition since a bombshell ruling by the country’s top court last week.The finance ministry decision, which halts most new spending authorizations, followed a ruling by the constitutional court last week that blew a €60 billion hole in the government’s coffers. The government is now bracing for the potential of far wider financial implications stemming from the ruling that may limit its ability to draw money from a variety of special funds that have been established to circumvent the country’s debt brake, which restricts the federal deficit to 0.35 percent of GDP, except in times of emergency.In a letter to all ministries, State Secretary Werner Gatzer said the finance ministry is freezing spending “in order to avoid further upfront burdens on future financial years.” The step does not impact t...
