The Thwaites Glacier is “holding on today by its fingernails,” researchers say, after data suggests a historical period of “rapid retreat” may soon repeat itself.
Antarctica’sThwaites Glacier, nicknamed the “Doomsday Glacier” due to its potentially catastrophic impact on sea levels, may dissolve faster than previously expected, according to a recent study.
New data and sea floor images published Monday inNature Geosciencefound the Florida-sized ice behemoth experienced a “rapid retreat” in the previous two centuries — and predicted that history may repeat itself in the near future.
A total loss of the glacier and its surrounding icy basins could raise sea levels from three to 10 feet, the researchers said.
Thwaites is already in a phase of “collapse” when viewed on geological time scales…
Brutal temperatures continue to bear down on the West Coast on Tuesday as forecasters warn that excessive heat will continue through the coming days. The heat wave, which started just before Labor Day weekend, has already broken at least a dozen temperature records in California as the state battles drought, fire and water shortages.
“Extreme, dangerous heat gripped much of the region on Monday and numerous official maximum record temperature records were tied or broken,” the National Weather Service said of the San Francisco Bay area, including a preliminary 11 daily records and two monthly records.
In Livermore, temperatures on Monday hit116 degrees Fahrenheit– the hottest day of all time, the service said. The previous record for Livermore was 108 degrees Fahrenheit in 1950. Kentfield also hit its highest temperature since 1950 at 107…
STORY: The war in Ukraine and the ongoing energy crisis, which has seen power prices soar, are dominating the headlines with just a week to go before the vote while welfare, schools and gang crime also head the list of voter concerns.
Thunberg, whose Friday protests outside Sweden’s parliament years ago turned into a global youth movement demanding action on climate change, said the issue had been “pretty much non-existent”, during the campaign.
“We have been completely focusing on other things,” she told Reuters.
Thunberg said politicians and the media had “chosen not to communicate that so many of the crises that we are experiencing now are very closely interlinked”.
“Therefore, people of course only focus on things that are right ahead of them instead of actually focusing on the larger holistic picture,” she said.
STORY: The six-year-old male condor had been in treatment for two weeks due to food poisoning. The animal was found in poor condition by a local and turned over to the Agroflori Bird Park for his rehabilitation.
Authorities equipped the condor with a GPS device to track its movements in the future.
Conservationists have been working to improve the numbers of the Andean condor — among the largest birds in the world — for decades.
The Andean condor is considered endangered but is in far better shape than its California cousin. There are currently an estimated few thousand South American birds in the wild today, with reintroduction programs working to supplement that number.

For decades, the southernCaliforniawriter Mike Davis has obsessively documented the dark side of the Golden state – its wildfires, earthquakes, megalomaniac real estate developers and violent police departments.
In essays like The Case for Letting Malibu Burn, Davis has argued that California’s natural disasters are not really natural at all, but the result of greed, racism and lack of foresight from the region’s power brokers. In City of Quartz – published in 1990, two years before the Rodney King uprising – he depicted Los Angeles as a white supremacist police state that had successfully marketed itself as paradise.

Sebastian Vettel has never been afraid to speak his mind.
But his mindset and approach to issues away from thetrackhave developed with age and experience.

It was tough to see and hear for Ernie Camacho.
“When we saw the bear initially laying on the front lawn, it was probably 25-30 feet from us and he was helpless. He laid on his side, he perched his head up to look at us and, almost as though asking for help, he lifted his paw up, which was the most heart-wrenching thing,” Camacho said. “The arrow was probably, well I couldn’t tell how large the arrow was…

More than a dozen Canada geese visiting shorelines and farm ponds in the Eastsound area have died suddenly in the last two weeks. Testing by Kwiaht and by San Juan County Public Health have independently confirmed the presence of avian flu, which is often spread by seasonal migrations of wild geese and other waterfowl.
“Highly pathogenic” avian influenza (HPAI) is very contagious. Owners of ducks, geese, chickens and other domestic poultry should take steps to isolate them from ponds or foraging areas that may be shared with Canada geese.
HPAI is a respiratory virus. Symptoms of infection include nasal discharge, respiratory distress, disorientation, difficulty standing or walking, and lethargy. Infected birds tend to die within 48 hours…
