The deadly landslides in Kerala's ecologically fragile Wayanad district were triggered by a heavy burst of rainfall, made 10 per cent heavier by <keyword id="19907392" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate-change" source="keywords">climate change</keyword>, according to a new rapid attribution study by a global team of scientists. Researchers from India, Sweden, the US and the UK warned that such events will become more common as the climate continues to warm. To measure the impact of human-caused climate change, the scientists from the <keyword id="12008149" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="World-Weather-Attribution" source="Orion">World Weather Attribution</keyword> (WWA) group analysed climate models with high enough resolution to accurately reflect rainfall in the relatively small study area. The models indicated that the intensity of rainfall has increased by 10 per cent due to climate change, they said. The models also predict a further four per cent increase in rainfall intensity if the average <keyword id="21951013" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="global-temperature" source="keywords">global temperature</keyword> rises by two degrees Celsius compared to the 1850-1900 average. The scientists, however, said there is a "high level of uncertainty" in the model results as the study area is small and mountainous with complex rainfall-climate dynamics. Having said that, the increase in heavy one-day rainfall events aligns with a growing body of scientific evidence on extreme rainfall in a warming world, including in India, and the understanding that a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, leading to heavier downpours. According to scientists, the atmosphere's capacity to hold moisture increases by about 7 per cent for every one-degree Celsius rise in global temperature. The Earth's global surface temperature has already increased by around 1.3 degrees Celsius due to the rapidly rising concentration of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide and methane. Scientists say this is the reason behind worsening <keyword id="19912530" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="extreme-weather-events" source="keywords">extreme weather events</keyword>, such as droughts, heat waves and floods worldwide. The WWA scientists said that while the relationship between land cover, land use changes and landslide risk in Wayanad is not fully clear from existing studies, factors, such as quarrying for building materials and a 62 per cent reduction in forest cover may have increased the slopes' susceptibility to landslides during heavy rainfall. Other researchers have also linked the <keyword id="22597176" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Wayanad-landslides" source="keywords">Wayanad landslides</keyword> to a combination of forest cover loss, mining in fragile terrain and prolonged rain followed by heavy precipitation. S Abhilash, the director of the Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), had earlier told PTI that the warming of the Arabian Sea is leading to the formation of deep cloud systems, resulting in extremely heavy rainfall in Kerala in a short period and increasing the risk of landslides. "Our research found that the southeast Arabian Sea is becoming warmer, causing the atmosphere above Kerala to become thermodynamically unstable. This instability is allowing the formation of deep clouds," he had said. According to the landslide atlas released by ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre last year, 10 out of the top 30 landslide-prone districts in India are in Kerala, with Wayanad ranked at the 13th spot. A study published by Springer in 2021 said all landslide hotspots in Kerala are in the Western Ghats region and are concentrated in Idukki, Ernakulam, Kottayam, Wayanad, Kozhikode and Malappuram districts. It said about 59 per cent of total landslides in Kerala have occurred in plantation areas. A 2022 study on depleting forest cover in Wayanad showed that 62 per cent of forests in the district disappeared between 1950 and 2018, while plantation cover rose by around 1,800 per cent.

Wayanad landslides linked to 10% heavier rainfall due to climate change: Study

In a massive move for the country’s growing climate woes, India is aiming to control weather phenomena like rainfall, lightning, and hail within five years. Dubbed "<keyword id="23131560" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mission-Mausam" source="keywords">Mission Mausam</keyword>," this government-backed initiative includes the development of <keyword id="23148975" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mausam-GPT" source="keywords">Mausam GPT</keyword>, a weather AI model designed to enhance prediction accuracy and even manipulate the weather. This would make India one of the first countries to experiment with <keyword id="21369368" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="weather-modification" source="keywords">weather modification</keyword> on a significant scale. <h2>Mission Mausam</h2>India’s "Mission Mausam" aims to reshape the future of weather management by using technology to control rain. Over the next 18 months, the government will start with lab simulations to either enhance or suppress rainfall. The ultimate goal, as outlined by Earth Sciences Secretary M. Ravichandran, is to roll out full-scale weather modification within five years. He stated that the initiative could even target events like Independence Day, where “one can think about suppressing rain.” By deploying <keyword id="20644540" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cloud-seeding" source="keywords">cloud seeding</keyword> techniques alongside AI-driven weather prediction tools like "Mausam GPT," the mission seeks to significantly improve India’s ability to manage extreme weather conditions. A key aspect of the plan involves building a robust system of advanced radars, supercomputers, satellites with high-performance sensors, and GIS-based decision support systems. This cutting-edge tech is expected to boost India’s short- and medium-range weather forecasting accuracy by 5-10%, ensuring no event — such as cloudbursts — goes undetected. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113251187" title="India braces for an intensely harsh winter as La Niña takes hold" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>India is not new to weather manipulation efforts. The government has been running pilot projects, such as the Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX) in Maharashtra, to study cloud properties and enhance rainfall. <h2>Why is weather manipulation necessary and is it safe?</h2>Extreme weather events in India, like deadly floods, droughts, and hailstorms, have noticeably increased in frequency due to <keyword id="19907392" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate-change" source="keywords">climate change</keyword>. Mission Mausam could potentially give India an edge in combating these disasters. For example, imagine preventing a flood by suppressing rain or creating artificial rain during a drought. India’s investment of Rs 2,000 crore over two years certainly reflects the seriousness of the mission, which is expected to expand further as research progresses. However, weather modification, including cloud seeding, is not without controversy. Globally, cloud seeding has had limited success, with countries like the US, Russia, and China also experimenting with these methods but facing inconsistent results. Even former MoES Secretary Madhavan Rajeevan has noted that “the technology is complex” and still in its developmental stages. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112825937" title="Shivaji Maharaj Statue collapse: Identifying 5 reasons behind the accident" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Further, the potential downsides can't be ignored. While controlling the weather could save lives, meddling with natural processes is risky. Weather manipulation might have unintended ecological consequences, like shifting rainfall patterns that could harm ecosystems and agriculture. It may also pose geopolitical risks, as neighbouring countries could accuse India of altering weather systems that affect their own climates. Ultimately, while the idea of managing the weather may seem appealing, it opens up a Pandora’s box of environmental and ethical challenges that need careful consideration.

The Indian government is taking steps to control rainfall and weather within five years — is it too risky of a move?

Nvidia's edge over Intel just got more extreme. Here's what it means.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Stock market gains will slow as key drivers like valuations and rates hit extremes, David Rosenberg said.</li><li>He said operating earnings would need to surge to fuel further market gains.</li></ul>The main drivers of significant stock market gains over the past three decades are nearing extremes, suggesting future returns will be significantly lower.That's according to economist David Rosenberg, who warned clients in a note on Wednesday to prepare for a period of limited appreciation in US equities."There are few drivers left to keep the equity party going," Rosenberg said.Rosenberg is particularly concerned about recent trends in valuations, interest rates, and taxes. According to Rosenberg, they've hit their extremes, which could put downward pressure on corporate earnings and, therefore, stock prices.These are the three factors Rosenberg is worried about.<h2 id="615bfa1f-cdd7-488e-abd7-4e265f0fe33f">Stock valuations</h2>The S&amp;P 500's forward price-to-earnings ratio of 22.3x is more than one-standard deviation above its historical norm and represents the highest level since the height of the COVID-era tech bubble in 2021, Rosenberg noted.Those <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-crash-trump-trade-dot-com-bubble-sp500-smead-2024-11">high valuations,</a> combined with extreme bullish sentiment that's exceeded the levels seen right before the Great Financial Crisis, suggest to Rosenberg that there's little room for more upside in valuations."There is no space for further multiple expansion," Rosenberg said.Higher stock market valuations would largely hinge on continued growth in corporate earnings, but Rosenberg said there are reasons to believe that's unlikely. <h2 id="7355be83-3cb6-4311-86d7-0bf1c8a63ef0">Tax rates</h2>Corporate tax rates have been falling for decades, boosting corporate profits and helping drive stock prices higher.While the Trump trade hinges on potential legislation for <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/trump-tax-cuts-tariffs-stock-market-sp500-inflation-china-trade-war-2024-11">the corporate tax rate to fall from 21% to 15%,</a> Rosenberg thinks that is unlikely."A razor-thin majority in the House and already low rates mean the runway is much shorter here as well," Rosenberg said.With the effective corporate tax rate at 17%, Rosenberg argues that there's little room for it to fall further, even with Republican control of the White House and Congress.<div type="image" title="Corporate tax rates have been falling" height="529" width="738" msid="115308221" hostid="261" sizebytes="24112"></div><h2 id="8145f461-f13b-43a5-ba3f-244cce5efcdd">Interest rates</h2>Falling interest rates have long helped fuel stock market gains, but that trend could be nearing its end.While the Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates, they're already near historical lows, suggesting there isn't much room for them to fall further, especially if President-elect <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-election-win-high-inflation-risk-tariffs-deportations-taxes-2024-11">Trump's agenda is inflationary.</a>"Interest rates, though higher than the 2021 lows, still are at the lower end of the historic range. The current 10-year Treasury yield, at 4.3%, is less than half of the 10.6% average in the 1980s," Rosenberg said.<div type="image" title="A chart of falling interest rates" height="559" width="701" msid="115308224" hostid="261" sizebytes="32478"></div>Taken together, Rosenberg said the stock market is unlikely to see significant gains going forward unless operating earnings, which exclude the impact of taxes and interest expenses, rise significantly."Combined with an increasingly cost-conscious consumer and net profit margins at the higher end of the historical range, generating higher margins looks like a tough task," Rosenberg said.He added: "All three current levers of price returns are close to maxing out."

3 drivers of the stock market's bull rally are hitting extremes and point to lower returns ahead, economist says

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Russia's war economy ins't in imminent danger of collapse, economist Vladislav Inozemstev said.</li><li>That's because Russia has adapted to the war and looks more stable than it did a few years ago.</li></ul>Russia may stand a better chance at sustaining its war economy than previously thought.That's according to Vladislav Inozemstev, an exiled Russian economist who thinks the chances of an economic collapse in the country have dwindled despite the chorus of experts who predicted a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-crisis-ukraine-war-moscow-inflation-sanctions-putin-spending-2024-10">grim</a> <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-ukraine-war-moscow-putin-inflation-labor-shortage-rates-2024-5">economic</a> <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-population-decline-worker-shortage-growth-outlook-ukraine-war-2024-8">future</a>.Inozemstev, who has been critical of Putin's regime and left Russia after being labeled as a "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-ukraine-war-moscow-business-national-security-treason-spying-2024-10">foreign agent</a>" in 2023, said the nation's trajectory looked similar to the Axis Powers in the 1930s, when the group of nations rose to prominence partly due to their "highly effective market economies," he wrote in a recent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.memri.org/reports/russias-economic-prospects-2025-and-beyond">op-ed</a> published by the Middle East Media Research Institute. The comparison suggests that Russia will be able to sustain its war-driven economy for longer than many expected, he said, dismissing the notion that Russia was headed for a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-ukraine-war-economy-soviet-union-spending-workers-flee-imf-2024-2">Soviet Union-style</a> collapse."The war, formally an 'emergency,' has been rethought as a 'new normal' that can be waged indefinitely. Even though many experts are still talking about the aggravating slowdown in Russia, the Kremlin is mostly right: These days, the economy is the Russian dictator's reliable rear," Inozemstev said. "To conclude, I would argue that Russia seems to have become a long-term threat to the Western world whose chance of economic collapse is extremely small," he later added.Russia's finances appear to have stabilized since the early days of the war, when even the Kremlin <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-collapse-putin-moscow-gdp-outlook-ukraine-war-sanctions-2023-11">admitted the economy was on the verge of collapse</a>.Federal revenue has exceeded expectations for the past several years, Inozemstev noted, rising 28% on an annual basis from the months of January and October, according to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://interfax.com/newsroom/top-stories/107508/">Interfax</a>. Russia also posted a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/russia-records-budget-surplus-01-gdp-jan-sept-2024-2024-10-09/#:~:text=MOSCOW%2C%20Oct%209%20(Reuters),Finance%20Ministry%20said%20on%20Wednesday.">small budget surplus</a> through the first nine months of the year and is estimating only a small budget deficit of 0.5% of GDP in 2025, according to data from Russia's finance ministry.Russia's economy has <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-outlook-defense-budget-spending-ukraine-war-putin-sanctions-2024-10">held up</a> partly due to its <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-ukraine-war-moscow-military-spending-inflation-worker-shortage-2024-2">hefty war spending</a>, experts have said, which has boosted growth despite soaring <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-outlook-stagflation-recession-inflation-gdp-growth-ukraine-war-2024-9">inflation</a>, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-central-bank-raises-key-interest-rate-to-21-2024-10">high interest rates</a>, and a labor market <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-economy-brain-drain-labor-shortage-workforce-exodus-capital-flight-2023-9">short of millions of workers</a>.Russia has also taken measures to boost business activity, Inozemstev said, such as by not hiking taxes for entrepreneurs and self-employed workers, while implementing subsidized loan programs for businesses. That means many businesses are sheltered from the pain of higher borrowing costs — and they could actually benefit from the surge in inflation in Russia, which could raise profits, he added.Bank deposits from Russian citizens and corporations, meanwhile, have swelled 54% since 2022, according to central bank data. Russia's war economy also looks to have gained the acceptance of the Russian people, who are benefiting from <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-war-economy-boosts-wages-salaries-beat-inflation-labor-crunch-2024-2">higher wages</a> amid the nation's severe worker shortage. It's another key factor that makes Russia's economy likey more stable than many have thought, Inozemstev said."The economy, I would argue, is now undergoing another wave of adaptation to the changing conditions," Inozemstev wrote. "The people realize that the 'war economy' has substituted the anemic economic condition of the 2010s."Inozemstev said he expected Russia's economy to continue to grow in 2025 and beyond, forecasting 2%-2.5% GDP growth next year. The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.imf.org/en/Countries/RUS">International Monetary Fund</a> has said it is expecting Russia's economy to expand by 3.6% in 2024.

The odds of Russia's economy collapsing are 'extremely small' and the war can go on for the long term, economist says

<ul class="summary-list"><li>New Jersey has a new senator — for just a few months — after Bob Menendez's resignation.</li><li>Sen. George Helmy, a former top aide to Gov. Phil Murphy, will serve for less than three months.</li></ul>When I walked into Sen. George Helmy's office at the Capitol last week, the first thing I noticed was the absence of any of the decorations that typically adorn a politician's working quarters.Photos of the senator, or even the odd commemorative plaque, were nowhere to be found. In the front room, a generic poster declared that it was "another perfect day in New Jersey." A woven basket full of M&amp;M packets, apparently a product of the Garden State, rested on the coffee table. In the senator's cavernous personal office, two empty wooden cabinets rested against the empty mustard-colored walls."It's on purpose," Helmy explained. "I don't want people to come in and say, 'Oh, you've made this home.'"This space was once occupied by former Sen. Bob Menendez, the man who represented New Jersey for more than 18 years before a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bob-menendez-federal-agents-cash-confiscation-cuba-family-2023-9">lurid corruption scandal</a> brought his tenure to an ignominious end last month. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy appointed Helmy, his former chief of staff, to replace Menendez after his bribery trial led to a conviction and he resigned. Helmy took office two weeks ago and will serve only until the results of the state's US Senate election are certified in late November, at which point he'll step down. He has no intention of running for office in the future."I don't see this as a caretaker or a placeholder. I'm a senator," Helmy told me. "Whether you're here for a day, or three months, four months, or 40 years, you're a United States Senator." Still, the 44-year-old is set to have a strikingly brief tenure, even as he makes history as the first Coptic American ever to serve in the Senate. During his maiden speech last Thursday, he noted that he may ultimately tie with a long-dead senator who served in the 1800s to become the 10th shortest-serving senator in American history. "I will forever be rooting for the good health and good fortune of those who follow so that I can make at least one top-10 list at some point in my life," Helmy joked.<div type="image" title="Helmy with Sen.

Unlike the other 12 senators who've taken office during Joe Biden's presidency, Helmy was sworn in by Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the Senate President Pro Tempore, instead of Kamala Harris — the Vice President was in Pennsylvania that day, preparing for <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-donald-trump-presidential-debate-takeaways-2024-9">the debate</a>. His most important function, arguably, is to serve as a party-line vote to advance and confirm Biden's nominees.He's acutely aware of all of this, even as he works to accomplish as much as one possibly could under the circumstances. "I see myself as sort of continuing my prior roles as a staffer," Helmy told me. "A simple part, but a really important part of me being here, is just being present and allowing the leadership to move on our priorities."But he's also investing much of his energy into youth mental health, an issue to which he devoted roughly half of his maiden speech."It's not only sort of the accessibility to care that I want to focus on, but what are the underlying issues, and what are we doing to help get at those sources," Helmy told me. "Because both are problems."<h2 id="c28ff492-88ff-4abf-9662-2ce4daf3a484">A member of the 'Society of the Interims'</h2>This is the second time in a little more than a decade that New Jersey has had an interim senator. When former Sen. Frank Lautenberg — another former boss of Helmy — died in 2013, then-Gov. Chris Christie appointed the state's Republican attorney general, Jeff Chiesa, to serve for five months until Sen. Cory Booker was elected.But interim senators are a relative rarity in American politics. Since the turn of the century, there have only been six who've served for less than six months. Those who find themselves in such a position describe it, invariably, as an "honor," and the relationships that interim senators develop with their more entrenched colleagues can often outlast their tenures."The benefit of being appointed and not having to run for the office is that you don't have to campaign against anyone, so you arrive without having made political enemies," said former Democratic Sen. Mo Cowan, who served as Massachusetts' junior senator for five months in 2013 after John Kerry was confirmed as Secretary of State. When Helmy's appointment was announced, Cowan — now an executive at a healthcare company — <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/mocowan/status/1823900278254657836">jokingly offered</a> him a "membership card" for the "Society of the Interims.""There's only 100 people that get the chance to vote on these issues," Chiesa told me. "He's one of them now, and when you're there in that position, it's a pretty overwhelming responsibility."Though his time in the Senate will be fleeting, Helmy's no stranger to politics. He served for four years as Murphy's chief of staff, and before that, as a top staffer for Booker, his boss-turned-colleague. (Helmy and Booker aren't the only Senate duo like this — Sen. Michael Bennet was once chief of staff for fellow Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper, when he was the mayor of Denver.) Murphy also appointed Helmy last year to be a commissioner for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a position he technically still holds and will return to after he resigns.Helmy's political experience has enabled him to get a running start as the upper chamber's most junior member. As of publication, he's already introduced three bills and co-sponsored a half-dozen others.And he doesn't mind if none of those bills make it into law on his watch. "If every member of the House or Senate said, 'What's only going to get done within the guaranteed window you get?' you'd get nothing," Helmy said. "So I appreciate that much of what I will do is introduce, co-sponsor, and speak on issues that hopefully outlive me."<h2 id="40dc7b67-bd7b-42b3-a6fe-cdad3c9fe40a">'You'll always be remembered by your last act'</h2>No state has had a more tumultuous year than New Jersey, and Helmy's ephemeral presence in the Senate is, in some ways, the final twist. Menendez's sudden political collapse gave way to a bitter if <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tammy-murphy-new-jersey-abolishing-senate-filibuster-2024-1">short-lived primary campaign</a> between Rep. Andy Kim and First Lady Tammy Murphy, a fight that put a national spotlight on how <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/rob-menendez-ravi-bhalla-primary-new-jersey-hoboken-2024-4">machine politics still play an outsize role</a> in the Garden State.Murphy ultimately dropped out in March, and Kim handily won the primary two months later. But when the governor had the choice to appoint someone to Menendez's soon-to-be-vacant seat, he opted against giving his party's nominee a leg-up by placing him in the seat. "There's a tradition in New Jersey where, when this happens, you don't put your finger on the scale," Gov. Murphy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.semafor.com/article/08/23/2024/ive-never-seen-a-month-like-this-new-jersey-gov-phil-murphy-on-the-kamala-moment">told Semafor</a> last month.<div type="image" title="Helmy was ceremonially sworn in by Sen. Patty Murray on September 9." height="1500" width="2000" msid="113596803" hostid="261" sizebytes="109702"></div>Helmy's known Kim for years, and he's rooting for the congressman's victory over GOP candidate Curtis Bashaw. But he's also a Murphy loyalist who's ready to defend the machine, along with the so-called "party bosses" that still wield significant influence in state politics. The first lady had been counting on that party infrastructure to win her the nomination. "What those folks do every day is party-build," Helmy said of party officials. "We want to be a party that allows as many people to elevate their voices and seek office. We also want to be the party that wins every November."Perhaps the most consequential impact of the Kim-Murphy primary was the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-jersey-county-party-line-machine-politics-andy-kim-explainer-2024-4">downfall of the state's "county line"</a> — a ballot design that allowed county-level party organizations to exert significant influence over the outcome of primaries — as the result of a lawsuit brought by Kim and other candidates. Under that system, candidates who were not endorsed by county party organizations or local party bosses could find themselves listed far off to the side on the ballot, making voters less likely to select them.While Helmy acknowledged that there's "probably a better way" to indicate which candidate the party supports than that, he stuck up for the notion that ballots should show which candidates have the local parties' backing. "The county parties still need to have preferred candidates," he said, warning that without such a system, "you run the risk of having money overinfluence against party support."Sitting in Menendez's former office, Helmy also lamented the way the long-serving New Jersey senator's career came to an end. "Bob's office was the office you always competed with," Helmy noted, referencing his own time with Booker and former Sen. Frank Lautenberg. "It made us all better. And I think his legacy in the communities that know the work that he and his team did, you're not going to lose that overnight.""I'm really sad about what he has been convicted of doing because there's just no way that's not going to be a part of the legacy," he added. "You'll always be remembered by your last act."

These caves offer a stable temperature environment and natural shielding, making them prime candidates for human bases or emergency shelters on the moon. “The main advantage of caves is that they make available the main structural parts of a possible human base without requiring complex construction activities,” explained study author Leonardo Carrer. However, assessing the structural stability of these caves and reinforcing their walls and ceilings will be crucial. Monitoring systems for seismic activity and designated safe areas for astronauts will be essential for ensuring safety. <h2>200 lunar base opportunities!</h2>The cave in Mare Tranquillitatis, surrounded by vertical or overhanging walls and leading to a sloping floor, has piqued researchers’ interest.

At least 200 pits have been identified on the moon, many of which could open into these vast underground networks. Accessing these caves is another challenge, however. Considering that these pits are at least a 100 metres deep, there is a very real chance of loose debris posing risks of avalanches.

Putin has 2 secret sons who live in isolation and extreme luxury, report alleges

A deadly heat wave gripped large regions of Asia for weeks in April and May 2024. As temperatures climbed past 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 Celsius) in India on May 7, campaigning politicians, local news announcers and voters waiting in long lines passed out from the oppressive heat. From as far north as Japan to as far south as the Philippines, the relentless heat wreaked havoc on everyday life. Students and teachers in Cambodia were sent home from school, as their hand-held fans provided little protection against the stifling heat and humidity in their poorly ventilated classrooms. Farmers in Thailand saw their crops wither and mourned the loss of livestock that perished under the punishing sun. Hundreds of people died from the heat. Most of the planet has suffered the dire effects of <keyword id="20563038" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="extreme-heat" source="keywords">extreme heat</keyword> in recent years. A weekslong heat wave in the southwestern United States in 2023 was described as "hell on earth" in Phoenix, where temperatures hit 110 F (43.3 C) or higher for 31 straight days. At the same time, Europe saw unprecedented high temperatures that killed hundreds and contributed to devastating wildfires in Greece. Regardless of where or when a heat wave strikes, one pattern is a constant: Older adults are the most likely to die from extreme heat, and this crisis will worsen in the coming years. We study <keyword id="19907392" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate-change" source="keywords">climate change</keyword> and population aging. Our research documents two global trends that together portend a dire future. More older adults will be at risk of heat stress First, temperatures are hotter than ever. The nine-year period from 2015 and 2023 had the highest average temperatures since global records began in 1880. Second, the population is aging worldwide. By 2050, the number of people ages 60 and older will double to nearly 2.1 billion, making up 21 per cent of the <keyword id="21055680" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="global-population" source="keywords">global population</keyword>. That proportion is 13 per cent today. These combined forces mean that ever-rising numbers of vulnerable older adults will be exposed to intensifying heat. To understand the risks ahead, we developed population projections for different age groups and combined them with climate change scenarios for the coming decades. Our analyses show that by 2050, more than 23 per cent of the world population ages 69 and older will be living in regions where peak temperatures routinely surpass 99.5 degrees F (37.5 degrees C), compared with just 14 per cent today. That means that as many as 250 million additional older adults will be exposed to dangerously high temperatures. Mapping the data shows that most of these older adults live in lower- and middle-income countries with insufficient services and limited access to electricity, cooling appliances and safe water. In historically cooler regions in the Global North, including North America and Europe, <keyword id="20707229" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rising-temperatures" source="keywords">rising temperatures</keyword> will be the main force driving older adults' heat exposure. In historically hotter regions in the Global South such as Asia, Africa and South America, population growth and increases in longevity mean that steeply rising numbers of older adults will be exposed to intensifying heat-related risks. Policymakers, communities, families and older residents themselves need to understand these risks and be prepared because of older adults' special vulnerabilities to heat. Extreme heat is especially harmful to older adults High temperatures are oppressive for everyone, but for older adults they can be deadly. Extreme heat worsens common age-related health conditions such as heart, lung and kidney disease and can cause delirium. Older people don't sweat as much as younger people, which makes it harder for their bodies to cool down when temperatures spike. These problems are intensified by common prescription medications, such as anticholinergics, which further reduce the capacity to sweat. Spending time outdoors in hot humid weather can cause dehydration, a problem worsened by the side effects of prescription medications such as diuretics and beta-blockers. Dehydration can make older adults weak and dizzy, increasing their risk of falls and injury. These threats are even worse in regions lacking access to safe and affordable drinking water. Poor air quality makes it difficult to breath, especially for those who already have lung problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. For older adults with physical health problems, temperatures as low as 80 F (26.7 C) can pose significant danger. And when humidity is as high as 90 per cent, even 78 F (25.6 C) can be hazardous to older adults. Nighttime heat is especially harmful for older adults whose homes lack air conditioning or who can't afford to run their air conditioners for long periods. The ideal temperature for older adults' restful sleep is between 68 and 77 F (20 and 25 C), and sleep quality diminishes as temperatures rise. A night of restless sleep can make an older adult more depressed and confused during their waking hours. Medications also can lose their effectiveness if stored in places much warmer than 77 F (25 C). Older adults also may suffer emotionally during stifling <keyword id="20472420" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="heat-waves" source="keywords">heat waves</keyword> Being stuck indoors when temperatures are unbearable can make older adults bored, depressed and isolated. People with cognitive impairments may underestimate the dangers of extreme heat or may not understand the heat advisories. Those who have physical mobility limitations or lack access to transportation can't easily travel to public cooling centers - if there is one nearby - or find relief in nearby "green and blue areas," such as parks and lakes. These threats are especially dire in low- and middle-income nations, where older adults are more likely to live in substandard housing and lack access to high-quality health care or ways to cool down in the heat. We talk about this as "systemic cooling poverty." What can be done? Policymakers can work to cut greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels in vehicles, power plants and factories, which drive global warming, and develop effective plans to protect older people from heat risk. Older adults and their caregivers also can take steps to adapt. But efforts to help need to be tailored to each region and population. Wealthy municipalities can increase public investments in early warning systems and ride services to cooling centers and hospitals. They can use geographic information systems to identify neighborhoods with high concentrations of older adults and expand power grids to manage increasing demand for air conditioning. In regions with substandard housing, limited access to clean water and few public supports such as cooling centers, much larger changes are necessary. Providing better health care, water and housing and reducing air pollution that can mitigate health problems during heat waves require significant changes and investments many countries struggle to afford. The World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization warn that this decade will be critical for preparing communities to handle rising heat and the risk to aging populations. Across all regions, researchers, practitioners and policymakers could save lives by heeding their call.
