Wildfires, hurricanes, and heat waves make headlines. But what is happening in Debra Hendrickson’s clinic tells another story of this strange and unsettling time. Hendrickson is a pediatrician in Reno, Nevada—the fastest warming city in the United States, where ash falls like snow during summer wildfires. In The Air They Breathe, Dr. Hendrickson recounts patients she’s seen who were harmed by worsening smoke, smog, and pollen.

In no small part this is due to our losing and misguided anti-global warming strategy focused almost exclusively on countering carbon dioxide (CO2), the most benign of the greenhouse gases. That there is a growing realization ...

Over the next few weeks, a group of veterinarians and zookeepers worked around the clock to save the cub, whom they called Nora.
