NBC reports that thick smog combined with high temperatures can result in an increase in respiratory, cardiovascular and kidney diseases.

When you have both these exposures — and especially extremes of these exposures — their combined effect is more than the sum of their parts, Erika Garcia, environmental epidemiologist at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, via NBC.

According to a study published in the 'American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine,' a combination of high temperatures and air pollution increases the risk of death by 21%.

Heat will cause the blood vessels to dilate and air pollution will increase inflammation in the lungs and throughout the body, so this can further increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events, Rajesh Kumar, project scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, via NBC.

According to Rajesh Kumar, a project scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, these health impacts present a global concern.

NBC reports that ongoing greenhouse gas emissions and more frequent and severe heat waves caused by global warming could trigger a public health crisis.

There are people who can’t protect themselves, people who don’t have air conditioning, people who have to work outside.

There should be an urgency to help these people, Dr. Wynne Armand, primary care physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, via NBC

South China Sea Dispute: U.S. Expands Military Footprint in Philippines with New Repair Facilities

South China Sea Dispute: The U.S. Navy is aggressively expanding its presence in the Philippines by building new repair facilities for smaller vessels near the highly contested Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea. This strategic move intensifies regional tensions as it directly challenges China’s vast territorial claims despite international rulings against Beijing. The facilities, located in Palawan and Oyster Bay, are expected to support Philippine forces and bolster joint U.S.-Philippine military operations, signaling a strong pushback against China’s aggression. With clashes already frequent in the area, this escalation could reshape the balance of power in Southeast Asia. #SouthChinaSea #USNavy #PhilippinesDefense #ChinaTensions #MilitaryExpansion #SecondThomasShoal #USPhilippineAlliance #RegionalSecurity #Geopolitics #DefenseStrategy #ChinaDispute #MilitaryBases Also Read China's Sonar Shocker: The 20km Sub-Spotter That Could Sink Naval Strategies :: https://www.oneindia.com/feature/chinas-sonar-shocker-the-20km-sub-spotter-that-could-sink-naval-strategies-3940843.html?ref=DMDesc China’s PLA Warns: 'We’ll Crush Foreign Encroachment' In South China Sea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-s-pla-warns-we-ll-crush-foreign-encroachment-in-south-china-sea-011-3932325.html?ref=DMDesc WATCH Video | Standoff At South China Sea: Chinese Coast Guard Attacks Philippine Navy Boats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/watch-video-standoff-at-south-china-sea-chinese-coast-guard-attacks-philippine-navy-boats-3857477.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~

Rubio Meets China's Wang Yi As Trump Tariffs IGNITE Asia Trade WAR | ASEAN Tensions EXPLODE | Video

In a high-stakes meeting amid growing trade hostilities, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur during the East Asia Summit. This marked Rubio's first Asia visit since taking office, aiming to reaffirm U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. However, Trump's sudden tariff offensive—slapping 25-40% duties on major Asian economies—has intensified regional friction. China condemned the U.S. move as "bullying behavior," warning nations against cutting Beijing from global supply chains. Rubio also discussed security and tech cooperation with Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian leaders. While Rubio remained tight-lipped during the talks, Wang launched a blistering critique of U.S. policies. Meanwhile, ASEAN ministers voiced alarm over trade disruptions, signaling a tilt toward diversification. With deadlines looming and diplomacy on edge, the clash of giants over Asia’s future has just begun. #Rubio #WangYi #USChinaTensions #TradeWar #ASEAN #IndoPacific #TrumpTariffs #ChinaTrade #AsiaSummit #KualaLumpur #GlobalEconomy #MarcoRubio #ChinaPolicy #USForeignPolicy #TariffWar #BilateralTalks #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #EastAsiaSummit #WTO ~GR.124~HT.408~

US Court’s SHOCKING Anti-Trump Order? Court Blocks Deportation Of Family Of Colorado Attack Suspect

U.S. federal judge has issued a restraining order blocking the deportation of the wife and five children of Mohamed Sabry Soliman — the suspect accused of firebombing a Jewish protest in Boulder, Colorado. The move comes just days after the Trump administration vowed swift deportation, posting a taunting ā€œFinal Boarding Callā€ message aimed at the family. The court's decision clashes directly with President Trump's hardline immigration stance and echoes growing tensions between the judiciary and the White House. #Colorado #ColoradoCourt #TrumpColorado #TrumpCourtCase #ColoradoSupremeCourt #TrumpSupremeCourt #DonaldTrump #TrumpAppealsCourt #ColoradoBallot #ColoradoTerrorAttack #TrumpCourtDrama #TrumpVsCourts #SupremeCourtShowdown #TrumpElectionCase #TrumpLegalBattle Also Read Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc Rahul Gandhi Targets PM Modi, Says Prime Minister Surrendered After Donald Trump's 'Ceasefire' Call :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-targets-pm-modi-says-prime-minister-surrendered-after-donald-trumps-ceasefire-call-4171423.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.102~GR.124~

Venezuela has slammed the latest U.S. travel ban, with Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello calling America a ā€œdangerous placeā€ where Venezuelans are persecuted ā€œfor no reason.ā€ The backlash follows President Trump’s proclamation banning entry from 12 nations, including Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, and Yemen. Somali Ambassador Dahir Abdi says he’s open to dialogue, but many see the ban as discriminatory. The White House defends it as ā€œcommon senseā€ national security.

Trump’s Travel Ban SLAMS DOORS on 12 Nations | Critics Call Entry Restrictions ā€˜Muslim Ban 2.0’

Former President Donald Trump has signed a new proclamation banning nationals from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan, from entering the U.S., citing national security threats and poor vetting standards. The White House says the ban will take effect June 9 and partially restricts travel from seven additional nations. Trump linked the move to a recent attack in Colorado and emphasized the need to prevent unvetted migration. The policy echoes his earlier "Muslim Ban," drawing controversy but winning court backing. Certain exemptions, like green card holders, remain. #Trump #TravelBan #ImmigrationPolicy #NationalSecurity #TrumpBan #MuslimBan2 #ForeignPolicy #USAImmigration #VisaBan #TrumpSpeech #TruthSocial #GlobalPolitics #SecurityFirst #ColoradoAttack #USBorders #MigrationBan #TrumpProclamation #TrumpAdministration #RefugeePolicy #GreenCard #MiddleEastPolicy #BanList #AmericaFirst #VettingPolicy #ControversialBan #BreakingNews #PresidentialOrder #WhiteHouse #June9 #USPolitics #BannedCountries
