A la Antártida le falta una cantidad de hielo marino del tamaño de Argentina, y los científicos se esfuerzan por descubrir por qué

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:32:45 GMT

(CNN) — A medida que el hemisferio norte se sofoca bajo una ola de calor de verano sin precedentes, mucho más al sur, en pleno invierno, se está rompiendo otro récord climático aterrador. El hielo marino antártico ha caído a niveles sin precedentes para esta época del año.Cada año, el hielo marino antártico se reduce a sus niveles más bajos hacia fines de febrero, durante el verano del continente. Luego, el hielo marino vuelve a acumularse durante el invierno.Pero este año los científicos han observado algo diferente.El hielo marino no ha regresado a ningún lugar cercano a los niveles esperados. De hecho, se encuentra en los niveles más bajos para esta época del año desde que comenzaron los registros hace 45 años. El hielo está alrededor de 1,6 millones de kilómetros cuadrados por debajo del récord anterior de invierno establecido en 2022, según datos del Centro Nacional de Datos de Hielo y Nieve (NSIDC, por sus siglas en inglés).A mediados de julio, el hielo marino de la Antá...

Rishi Sunak wants review of local traffic-reduction schemes

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:32:45 GMT

LONDON — Local schemes to reduce traffic in some U.K. neighborhoods will be reviewed by the central government as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak leans into concerns about the impact of pollution-cutting measures on motorists.The U.K. government on Sunday announced that it would be reviewing so-called Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), although added that it would only provide details of the review in “due course.”Sunak told the Sunday Telegraph he would appraise low traffic schemes because the “vast majority” of people were dependent on their cars. “I just want to make sure people know that I’m on their side in supporting them to use their cars to do all the things that matter to them,” he said.LTNs are designed to reduce traffic by stopping drivers using quieter roads as rat-runs. The LTN programs use barriers, such as bollards and planters, as well as road signs and CCTV cameras, to reduce traffic.The government has previously helped fund LTNs, but the transpor...

NFL notebook: How the Patriots could extend Matt Judon, Kyle Dugger and Josh Uche on fair contracts

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:32:45 GMT

Much like their end-zone militia before a Mac Jones touchdown pass, the Patriots’ front office is keeping its powder dry.The Pats own the third-cheapest roster in the NFL, per Over The Cap. They are scheduled to rank dead last or second-to-last in cash spending for the 2024, 2025 and 2026 seasons. It’s a prove-it year in New England, and all Bill Belichick’s front office has proven since the end of last season is they – or perhaps owner Robert Kraft – are more patient and frugal than their frustrated fanbase.The question is: why? What are the Patriots waiting for? Why aren’t they exhausting more resources to build a roster that can reach the championship standard the team established for two decades and claims to be pursuing now?Basically, who are they planning to pay?Considering the barren free-agent market, start with the players inside the building.Six of the Pats’ projected starters are entering contract years, and a seventh – outs...

Supporters of Niger’s coup march through the capital, waving Russian flags and denouncing France

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:32:45 GMT

NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — Thousands of supporters of the junta that took over Niger in a coup earlier this week marched through the streets of the capital, Niamey, on Sunday waving Russian flags, chanting the name of the Russian president and forcefully denouncing former colonial power France. The protestors marched through the city to the French Embassy and a door was lit on fire, according to someone who was at the embassy when it happened and videos seen by The AP. Black smoke could bee seen rising from across the city. The Nigerien army broke up crowd of the protesters. Russian mercenary group Wagner is already operating in neighboring Mali, and Russian President Vladimir Putin would like to expand his country’s influence in the region. However, it is unclear yet whether the new junta leaders are going to move toward Moscow or stick with Niger’s Western partners. Days after after mutinous soldiers ousted Niger’s democratically elected president, uncertainty is mount...

TTC to increase subway wait times at night on both Line 1 and 2

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:32:45 GMT

The TTC is increasing wait times for nighttime subway service on both Line 1 and Line 2 starting this week as part of a series of updated route and service changes.Starting Monday, the wait time between trains from 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Monday to Friday on both the Yonge-University and Bloor-Danforth lines will be five minutes, an increase of one minute from the current wait time. After 10 p.m., the wait time between trains on Yonge-University will also be five minutes, an increase of two minutes from the current standard, while the wait time between trains on the Bloor-Danforth line goes up to six minutes.Transit advocate groups say one minute might not sound like much but any delay creates a ripple effect which means a longer wait time overall and may cause riders to miss possible surface connections, which could mean an additional 15 or 20 minute wait for the next bus or streetcar due to previous cuts made on those routes. No reason was given for the increased wait times but the tra...

‘Complacency’ blamed for N.S. struggles with flooding, other climate disasters

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:32:45 GMT

HALIFAX — On the night floodwaters swept through his Nova Scotia county, taking lives and tearing out bridges, Doug Pynch says he had trouble believing an emergency alert that flashed across his phone.It called for residents to evacuate to a civic centre in Newport, N.S., a community that was already seeing water accumulating in low-lying areas. The retired deputy fire chief said he soon found himself having to transport people in his large truck, as cars couldn’t cross an intersection where water was pooling.“That alert distracted us from doing other things, rescues that needed to be done. Now we had multiple other situations we had to deal with first,” he said in an interview this week. “I couldn’t allow them to drive through that water.”In portions of Halifax and central Nova Scotia, as an estimated 250 millimetres of rain fell last weekend, similar confusion and improvisation was unfolding, in what some experts say is the latest example of the provi...
