This weekend, the National Weather Service forecasts temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. For many, this will mean flocking to spraygrounds and pools, or just staying indoors. However, many workers and unhoused people won’t have a choice about braving the high heat.

The dog days of summer are upon us. Here's what's happened so far.

This summer, record-breaking flooding has left communities in central North Carolina reeling. But the danger isn’t over. Flooding can lead to a range of public health problems, even after the floodwaters recede.

Craft beer and PFAS pollution — two things that are about as North Carolinian as barbecue and being “first in flight.” A recent study explores how what we put in our waters upstream can end up in a can somewhere downstream.

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson joined nearly 20 other states in filing a lawsuit against FEMA on Wednesday. The federal agency terminated hundreds of flood mitigation grants in April. But last week, Tropical Storm Chantal may have foreshadowed the future costs communities will pay if they can’t complete these projects.

Low-income and marginalized communities often stand to benefit the most from climate solutions because these communities bear the most direct costs of fossil fuel pollution.

A week of heavy rain and severe storms continues tonight in much of the Carolinas. Tropical Storm Chantal was the third named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, damaging much of central North Carolina and leaving many without clean drinking water.

A week of bad weather is putting Trump's federal cuts to the test. Flash floods near San Antonio, Texas, killed more than 120 people late last week. The tragedy has since led to some finger-pointing between local officials and the federal government.

A bill on Gov. Josh Stein’s desk would eliminate Duke Energy’s 2030 carbon pollution reduction goal. Supporters in the General Assembly say the move would lower electricity rates, but experts, environmental advocates and clean energy trade groups disagree.

The U.S. Senate is still deliberating Trump’s "big, beautiful bill." The House passed a version that cuts clean energy tax credits, a program that North Carolina Latinos are only starting to use.
