When extremely hot weather isn't enough: A new government heat danger tool identifies magenta as the most perilous level
U.S. health and weather officials are introducing a new color-coded system to alert Americans about heat danger, and it will designate magenta as the most perilous level. The National Weather Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used Earth Day on Monday to explain the new online heat risk system. It combines meteorological and medical risk factors with a seven-day forecast that’s simplified and color-coded for a warming world of worsening heat waves. Magenta is the deadliest category. It’s a step above red, which is also pretty bad.

4/20 started as a small event but is now a big day for marijuana enthusiasts
Marijuana advocates are getting ready for April 20, also known as 4/20, a day when many people gather to smoke marijuana in parks, at festivals, and on college campuses. This year, they can think about how much progress has been made in legalizing marijuana. Medical marijuana is now legal in 38 states, and 24 of those states also allow recreational use. Moreover, the Biden administration has shown a willingness to change marijuana laws. Biden has pardoned thousands of individuals convicted of federal “simple possession.” The Department of Health and Human Services has suggested that marijuana should be reclassified as a less restricted drug, confirming its medical use under federal law.
