A new report from the United Nations says climate change is accelerating the rise of superbugs. So what exactly are superbugs? Viruses, strains of bacteria, parasites and fungi that are resistant to most antibiotics and medications aimed at treating the infections they cause are all considered superbugs. Superbugs were the cause of about 5 million deaths in 2019 and the number is expected to climb to 10 million by 2050.
Now that last month's sizzling numbers are all in, the European climate monitoring organization made it official: July 2023 was Earth's hottest month on record by a wide margin.
At least two people have died, thousands of U.S. flights have been canceled and more than 1 million have lost power as destructively strong storms move through the eastern U.S.
