apnews.com/article/east-coast-earthquake-7d03f7a44a6c1a1ea877820515808bee

Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US

An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.

Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.

President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.

bbc.com/news/world-europe-68749936

Quick Glance: Greta Thunberg protests against fossil fuels in the Netherlands

The demonstration was specifically targeted against the subsidies for fossil fuels in the Netherlands.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained twice by police at a demonstration in the Netherlands, after she and a group of marchers blocked a main road to protest against these subsidies.

Hundreds of protesters marched from The Hague’s city center to the nearby A12 arterial highway that connects the Dutch government's seat with other cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht.

Organized by the Extinction Rebellion (XR) environmental group, the demonstration was part of efforts to pressure the Dutch government ahead of another planned debate on subsidies for fossil fuels in June.

The eruption displaced over 800 individuals in nearby villages who are in immediate need of essentials like mats, blankets, and tents.

Situated in the notorious Ring of Fire, Mount Ruang is a stratovolcano where seismic plates beneath the Pacific Ocean surface collide, causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Prior to the Mount Ruang eruption, more than 300 volcanic earthquakes were recorded, with the reason behind the eruption timing remaining uncertain.

Quick Glance: Oakland Airport Considers Adding 'San Francisco' to Name

Oakland International Airport is considering adding 'San Francisco' to its name to attract more passengers, but faces opposition from neighbors across the Bay.

The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.

Officially known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, the airport lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024, raising concerns about geographical confusion among travelers.

The potential name-change has alarmed San Francisco officials, who fear it would cause confusion among travelers and infringe on the city's trademark rights.

Quick Glance: Proposal to Rename D.C.'s Dulles Airport after Trump Faces Opposition

A group of Republican lawmakers, led by a member of the GOP leadership, is preparing to introduce legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in D.C. after former President Trump.

The expected resistance from House Democrats could pose a challenge given the Republicans' narrow majority.

The initiative spearheaded by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) has garnered support from several of his colleagues.

If Donald Trump were to return to the White House, his close allies aim to significantly alter governmental interpretations of Civil Rights-era laws to emphasize 'anti-white racism' over discrimination against people of color.

Quick Glance: Newborn Borneo Orangutan at Busch Gardens, Florida

An endangered Bornean orangutan baby was born at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Florida.

Following a cesarean section on Saturday, the baby orangutan weighing just over three pounds (1.3 kilograms) was brought into the world by park officials. Once stabilized, the mother Luna is recovering from the surgery and will soon reunite with her baby.

Known as the largest tree-dwelling ape species and the third largest overall, the Bornean orangutan's birth signifies a significant step in orangutan conservation efforts.

Orangutans typically have a lifespan of 35 to 40 years in the wild. The newborn ape has not been named yet and resides in a zoo within the Tampa theme park, known as one of the largest in North America, accommodating thousands of animals.

Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.

The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.

The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.

Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.

US climate agency NOAA declares a concerning global coral bleaching event for the fourth time in history after a year of extreme ocean heat.

Impacts of coral bleaching span oceans worldwide, with sea surface temperatures at record levels.

Corals under extreme heat stress can recover, but otherwise, the reef requires several years to regenerate.

Despite losses, some reefs show signs of color, offering hope for potential recovery, while scientists caution about the escalating impacts.

Quick Glance: New EPA Rule Mandates 218 US Chemical Plants to Reduce Toxic Emissions

A new rule from the Environmental Protection Agency will require over 200 chemical plants nationwide to reduce toxic emissions likely to cause cancer. This rule advances President Joe Biden's commitment to environmental justice by providing crucial health protections for communities burdened by industrial pollution from ethylene oxide, chloroprene, and other dangerous chemicals.

The rule will significantly decrease emissions of chloroprene and other pollutants, impacting the Denka Performance Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana, the largest source of chloroprene emissions in the country. Democratic Representative Troy Carter hailed the new rule as "a monumental step" to safeguard public health and the environment.

The EPA will cut over 6,200 tons of toxic air pollutants annually and implement fenceline monitoring to address health risks in surrounding communities, promoting environmental justice in Louisiana and other states. Environmental activists see the rule as a victory for environmental justice, representing a significant step towards clean air and safe communities.

Focusing on toxic emissions, the rule provides protection for communities that have suffered from underregulated emissions. The introduction of fenceline monitoring for six toxic air pollutants is crucial for ensuring accountability and transparency. This rule marks a significant stride towards a more just and equitable environmental protection framework.
