(The Hill) – Heat waves are the most deadly climate disaster, killing far more people every year than wildfires, hurricanes and floods combined.But rising temperatures aren’t the only reason that extreme heat is becoming a bigger risk.Other important reasons include discriminatory urban planning, the insidious nature of heat illness itself and the decade-long federal tug-of-war over how to respond to heat waves.Here are five reasons — aside from climate change — why heat risk is worsening.The U.S. spent years ‘moving backward’ on heatIn 2013, President Barack Obama issued a sweeping executive order which aimed to make U.S. communities more resilient in the face of the impacts of climate change — from rising seas to rising temperatures.That order sought to coordinate actions by federal agencies to protect populations from climate risk — and to ensure that infrastructure spending wasn’t inadvertently making the country less safe.

During her parliamentary speech on February 3, 2022, UK parliamentarian Dame Margaret Hodges shed light on a group of individuals associated with Kazakhstan’s former president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, who had illicitly funnelled billions of dollars through the United Kingdom - writes Poul AndreasenWith Nazarbayev's departure from power and the rise of Kassym-Jomart Tokayev as the new president, a significant challenge now looms over the so-called Old Kazakhstan elites, posing an existential threat to their status quo. The people of Kazakhstan strongly yearn for justice, and Tokayev has demonstrated a resolute commitment to delivering it. In this context, the initiation of prosecutions against these corrupt individuals in Kazakhstan not only holds potential for recovering and repatriating assets but also indicates the UK's willingness to collaborate in the pursuit of justice.Following his inauguration as president in 2019, Tokayev initiated the dismantling of the Nazarbayev regime by r...Kidnapped San Mateo woman found in Mexico, en route back to U.S.
