A wide-ranging new Pew Research Center poll shows large age-related divides in Republicans' views on global warming.
Driving the news: Nearly half of Republicans (or who "lean" Republican) age 18-29 say the federal government is doing too little on the topic. But as you can see above, this concern drops off pretty sharply with age.
The United Kingdom's Met Office has issued its first-ever Red warning for extreme heat, it announced on Friday.
Driving the news: The unprecedented warning comes as Europe is in the grip of a record-breaking heatwave. Temperatures of 104°F (40°C) are forecast in the U.K. for the first time ever, topping a previous record of 101.66°F (38.7°C) from July of 2019, per the release.
A dangerous heat wave is fueling fires across Europe and climate change is "aggravating the situation, making countries more prone to wildfires and increasing the intensity of such events," a new EU report warns.
What's happening: Thousands of firefighters are battling blazes in searing heat across the continent. The fires have forced thousands of people to evacuate in France, Spain, Portugal and Croatia, as Europe faces another potentially record-breaking heat wave for a second consecutive month.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has closed the door on a climate, energy and tax package, but remains open to a much smaller bill that focuses on deficit reduction, prescription drug reform, and funding for health care subsidies, according to people familiar with the matter.
Why it matters: Manchin’s offer will come as a bitter disappointment to the White House and his colleagues in the Senate.
