September was world’s hottest on record

Last month was the world’s hottest September on record, with unusually high temperatures recorded off Siberia, in the Middle East, and in parts of South America and Australia, the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service said on Wednesday. Extending a long-term warming trend caused by emissions of heat-trapping gases, high temperatures this year have played a major role in disasters from fires in California and the Arctic to floods in Asia, scientists say. “As we go into an even warmer world, certain extremes are likely to happen more often and be more intense,” Copernicus senior scientist Freja Vamborg told Reuters, pointing to heat waves and periods of intense rain as examples of this. Globally, September was 0.05 degrees Celsius warmer than the same month in 2019...

In Alaska’s annual battle of heavyweights, a salmon-chomping bruin named 747 – like the jetliner – has emerged as the most fabulously fat. The bear, one of more than 2,200 brown bears roaming Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve, was victorious on Tuesday after a week of frenzied online voting in what has become an international sensation: Fat Bear Week. Winner 747 was a worthy champion, the park said in a statement. “This year he really packed on the pounds, looking like he was fat enough to hibernate in July and yet continuing to eat until his belly seemed to drag along the ground by late September,” the park said. There couldn’t have been a more epic matchup than the championship face-off between two aptly named bears: 747 and Chunk, aka Bear 32. In the end, 747 pulled ahea...

बायलाकूपे है दक्षिण का मैकलोडगंज

जैसे ही मैं दक्षिण के मैकलोडगंज का शब्दचित्र बांधने लगी हूं, मेरी आंखों के आगे वही वैभवशाली भवन आकार लेने लगा है जिसे देखकर मेरे मुंह से एक ही शब्द निकला था.. वाह! और इसके साथ ही कानों में गूंजने लगी हैं मंत्रोच्चार की ध्वनियां.. जिन्हें सुनते ही मेरा सारा तनाव बह निकला और मुझे लगा कि मैं ध्यान के सागर में गोते लगा रही हूं। मैं एक ऐसी बस्ती की बात कर रही हूं जिसे भारत में तिब्बती विस्थापितों का दूसरा सबसे बड़ा ठिकाना कहा जा सकता है बायलाकूपे है तो कर्नाटक के मैसूर जिले में, लेकिन मैसूर से यहां तक पहुंचने में करीब दो घंटे का वक्त लग जाता है। बहुत कम लोग होंगे जो मैसूर जाने के दौरान बायलाकूपे आते होंगे। अक्सर लोग जब कूर्ग घूमने जाते हैं, तब बायलाकूपे का रुख करते हैं। जब आप कूर्ग से मैसूर जाते हैं, तो कूर्ग के कुशलनगर से बाहर निकलते ही दाईं तरफ का मोड़ आपको पांच किलोमीटर के...

Looming cash crisis threatens airlines

October 6, 2020389 Views

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) warned that the airline industry will burn through $77 billion in cash during the second half of 2020 (almost $13 billion/month or $300,000 per minute), despite the restart of operations. The slow recovery in air travel will see the airline industry continuing to burn through cash at an average rate of $5 to $6 billion per month in 2021. IATA called on governments to support the industry during the coming winter season with additional relief measures, including financial aid that does not add more debt to the industry’s already-highly-indebted balance sheet. To date, governments around the world have provided $160 billion in support, including direct aid, wage subsidies, corporate tax relief, and specific industry tax relief including ...
