nbcnews.com/science/environment/europe-fastest-warming-continent-twice-global-average-report-rcna148829

Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy

Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.

The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.

Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.

The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.

Quick Glance: Cause of Dubai Flooding: Cloud Seeding or Natural Phenomenon?

Dubai grapples with the aftermath of heavy rainfall. Speculations on the role of cloud seeding are being discussed.

Clouds consist of tiny water droplets that coalesce around particles to form rain. Cloud seeding manipulates this process.

The effectiveness of cloud seeding is scientifically debated, with limited evidence of its efficacy.

Experts refute the claim that cloud seeding was the primary cause of the flooding in Dubai.

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.

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.

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.

Quick Glance: RFK Jr.'s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to End Presidential Bid

Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

As an independent candidate for the White House, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claims he would be the “best environment president in American history,” drawing on his past as a crusading lawyer who went after polluters in New York.

But dozens of Mr. Kennedy’s former colleagues at the Natural Resources Defense Council are calling on him to withdraw from the race, in full-page advertisements sponsored by the group’s political arm that are expected to appear in newspapers in six swing states on Sunday.

Separately, a dozen other national environmental organizations have issued an open letter calling Mr. Kennedy “ a “dangerous conspiracy theorist and a science denier” who promotes “toxic beliefs” on vaccines and on climate change.

Quick Glance: Restrictions on Oil and Gas Leasing in Alaska under Biden Administration

The Biden administration announced restrictions on new oil and gas leasing on 5.3 million hectares of a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska to protect wildlife from the impacts of climate change.

The decision finalizes proposed protections that drew backlash from environmentalists last year for violating Biden's climate change pledge.

The limitation on new leasing faced opposition from Republican lawmakers who criticized the decisions as undermining national security interests.

Environmentalists praised the decision, while the oil industry labeled it as misguided and raised concerns about future developments in the reserve.

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.

abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/scientists-coral-reefs-world-experiencing-mass-bleaching-warming-109247719

Quick Glance: Global Coral Bleaching Event After Extreme Heat

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.

Environmental Protection Agency Limits Pollution From Chemical Plants: The new regulation is aimed at reducing the risk of cancer for people who live close to ...

nytimes.com/2024/04/09/climate/epa-pollution-chemical-plants.html

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.
