Human-caused climate change increased damaging wind speeds for every hurricane in 2024.

That’s according to a new study by the Princeton-based Climate Central. From our friends at WHYY's Climate Desk, Susan Phillips explains how higher ocean temperatures led to the higher wind speeds.

You may have recently received a letter from your water company about new rules for lead and copper pipes.

That letter may ask you to identify your service line, but some consumers are confused about what that means.

From our partners at WPSU, Sydney Roach reports these letters are the result of new rules from the US Environmental Protection Agency.
