And he believes avian flu is to blame. Global’s Suzanne Lapointe explains why this has poultry farmers concerned.

Temperature topped 110F on four consecutive days and has not fallen below 80F at night-time for the past week in the Arizona city, breaking several records

After arecord-breaking daytime temperaturein Phoenix last Friday, the onset of night offered little relief from the sweltering heat. As the clock struck midnight it was still a staggering 100F (38C) outside and just a few degrees cooler inside 60-year-old Sareptha Jackson’s home.

Jackson lay naked and as still as possible on the bed next to an old portable air conditioning unit in the bedroom window, but couldn’t relax or get comfortable. She eventually got up around 2am to make rice and…

Alaska’s Koyukuk River was the site of an interesting discovery. During a float down the river, a group of University of Virginia professors spotted a woolly mammoth tusk along the riverbank.

Adrienne Ghaly, apostdocin Environmental Humanities, was able to document the moment in a photograph.

“We’re a group from UVA calledSanctuary Labworking on climate impacts on places of cultural and ecological significance,” said Ghaly. “We were taken on a float down the middle fork of the Koyukuk River near Coldfoot, Alaska. The river was high and flowing fast, but my colleagueKaren McGlatherywas able to spot the tusk.”

Ghaly uploaded her image of the tusk to Twitter and it was shared onReddit, where…

An important marine process is slowing. If it shuts down completely, a study finds, La Niña could become permanent—and that’s just the start of the trouble.

A shutdown of a major current in the Atlantic Ocean would rapidly transform wind, temperature, and precipitation patterns across the whole globe, according to new research.

The current is already slowing, likely at least in part because of human-caused climate change. Now, scientists have found that, if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) collapses completely, there would be never-before-predicted impacts, according to astudypublished last week in the journal Nature Climate Change.

The recent death of a bowhunter in Dolores County is a travesty and was completely avoidable.

One of the basic tenets of gun ownership and hunter education is “know your target and beyond.” The negligence that occurred should not have happened nor should it ever happen again. Aiming or firing your weapon at a flash of color, noise or a disturbance in the brush is completely unacceptable. Anyone who blatantly ignores this basic rule of weapon safety should be held responsible to the highest degree of the law. A human life was taken, and a family devastated from the loss of their son, father, uncle and brother for no reason.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommends wearing hunter orange during all seasons, but that is a statement that places blame on a victim. Perhaps it is time to re-evaluate season…

Dutch hunter, mistaken for boar, shot in German forest

A 54-year-old Dutchman was seriously injured during a wild boar hunt in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate during the early hours of Saturday morning. Another Dutchman accidentally shot him. This 65-year-old hunter mistook his compatriot for a wild boar, the German police said in a press release.

The seriously injured man was taken to a hospital for first aid and then admitted to a clinic for specialist care. His condition is stable and not life-threatening.

The victim assisted the other Dutchman during a hunt near Niedersohren. The German authorities launched a criminal investigation against the hunter…

The Collapse of an Atlantic Ocean Current Would Ripple Across The World, Says Study

13 JUNE 2022

Climate changeisslowing downthe conveyor belt of ocean currents that brings warm water from the tropics up to the North Atlantic.

Our research, published today (June 6) inNature Climate Change, looks at the profound consequences to global climate if this Atlantic conveyor collapses entirely.

We found the collapse of this system – called the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation – would shift the Earth’s climate to a more La Niña-like state.

This would mean more flooding rains over eastern Australia and worse droughts and bushfire seasons over southwest United States.

East-coast Australians know what unrelenting La Niña feels like. Climate change has loaded our atmosphere with moister air, whiletwo summers of La…

Experts say heatwaves happening earlier and more often as temperatures hit highs not normally recorded until July or August

A second extreme heat event of the year is searing Spain and southernFrance, with temperatures hitting highs not normally recorded until July or August and experts warning summer heatwaves are happening earlier and more often.

The French state forecaster, Météo France, said temperatures had already exceeded 35C close to the Mediterranean and would rise further from midweek as the hot air mass moved northwards, with parts of the south-west and Rhone valley reaching 39C.

Even in Alsace, Brittany and the greater Paris region, temperatures were expected to reach – and in some areas significantly exceed – 30C, the forecasterPatrick…
