Monday, July 3, was the hottest day ever recorded globally, according to data from the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction.

The average global temperature reached 17.01 degrees Celsius (62.62 Fahrenheit), surpassing the August 2016 record of 16.92C (62.46F) as heatwaves sizzled around the world.

The southern U.S. has been suffering under an intense heat dome in recent weeks. In China, an enduring heatwave continued, with temperatures above 35C (95F). North Africa has seen temperatures near 50C (122F).

And even Antarctica, currently in its winter, registered anomalously high temperatures. Ukraine’s Vernadsky Research Base in the white continent’s Argentine Islands recently broke its July temperature record with 8.7C (47.6F).

“This is not a milestone we should be celebrating,” said climate scientist Friederike Otto of the Grantham…

Japan will soon begin releasingtreated radioactive waterinto the ocean following approval from the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog for a controversial plan that comes 12 years after the Fukushima nuclear meltdown.

The plan to release treated wastewater has been in the works for years, with the environment ministerdeclaring in 2019there were “no other options” as space runs out to contain the contaminated material.

Rafael Grossi, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), arrived inJapanon Tuesday to visit Fukushima and presentthe UN body’s safety reviewto Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

But the UN’s approval has done little to reassure rattled residents in neighboring countries, and local fishermen whostill feel…

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited a Prairieville man and two juveniles for alleged deer hunting violations in East Feliciana Parish on June 29.

Agents cited Kenneth J. Blanchard Jr., 59, and two juveniles for taking deer during a closed season. Blanchard was also cited for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Agents received a public tip about people shooting deer at night outside of Slaughter. Agents conducted night surveillance on the area for about a week.

Around 11:15 p.m. June 29, agents observed Blanchard and the two juveniles hunting on an agriculture field off La. 42 near Slaughter, a news release said. Agents observed Blanchard and the two juveniles hunting from all-terrain vehicles with rifles shoot and kill a doe.

Agents responded to the scene immediately and made contact with…

Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to Explore Issues Surrounding Baiting Wildlife

• On June 22, 2023, KDWP held apublic panel discussionon baiting wildlife with subject matter experts from Kansas, North Dakota, and Oklahoma
• The Department defines baiting wildlife as “The act of intentionally placing food, or nutrient substances, to manipulate the behavior of wildlife species;” This is not to be confused with agricultural food plots or backyard birdfeeders.
• KDWP will host several town hall-style public meetings in the coming months to solicit broader input on these complex issues
• Though staff intend to make baiting wildlife a regular discussion item at future Commission meetings, no official regulation recommendations are planned.
• In Kansas, it is illegal to bait wildlife on public lands, and lands enrolled in the Walk-in…

Livestock producers throughout the country, including those in Alabama, are encountering a problem that has begun to effect their businesses’ total income.

Black vultures have increasingly become predators of newly born calves throughout the state.

In order to address the issue, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has given a permit to the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries which will allow livestock producers in the Yellowhammer State to kill up to 500 of the birds this year.

Each producer can kill up to three and must use a shotgun.

“Black vultures have been giving cattlemen problems for quite some time, particularly in north Alabama,” Erin Beasley, executive vice president of the Alabama Cattleman’s Association, told AL.com. “However, they are migrating further south. There are a lot of them because they are protected under…

Earth’s north magnetic pole is on the move – here’s what will happen when our poles flip©Provided by Tiffy Taffy

Did you know that the Earth actually has two north poles? That’s right: There’s the geographic one in northern Canada, but also a magnetic one. The geographic north pole never changes, the magnetic one, however, is always on the move – and right now we are racing towards a complete pole reversal. If the poles flip, it could be devastating to the human race and life as we know it to be. (1)

Will the North and South Poles Flip?

The magnetic poles have always been moving, this is nothing new. In fact, the poles have actually flipped before: Since the last extinction, they completely reversed roughly every 300,000 years. For some reason, however, another flip has not…

Jurassic Park has nothing on three scientists who have decided to reassemble genes from woolly mammoths and resurrect them once again after having been extinct for more than ten thousand years.

What could go wrong, you may well ask, since the Jurassic Park thing turned out so well?

We may soon find out, as $15 million has already been pledged to the effort to bring this species back from extinction with the help of gene editing.

Temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere might be high, but on July 6, our planet will be at its farthest point from the sun this year. It’s an annual occasion called aphelion, a term that comes from the Greek words “apo” (away) and “helios” (sun), according toAlmanac.

If it seems counterintuitive for our planet to be at its farthest from the sun while you endure the summer heat, consider how Earth orbits the sun and how our planet rotates.
