(CNN) — El planeta va en camino a calentarse a un ritmo mucho más rápido de lo que los científicos habían pronosticado, lo que significa que en esta década se podría superar un umbral clave de calentamiento global, según un nuevo estudio del que es coautor James Hansen, el científico estadounidense ampliamente acreditado por haber sido el primero -en la década de 1980- en encender públicamente las alarmas sobre la crisis climática.En el artículo, publicado este jueves en la revista Oxford Open Climate Change, Hansen y más de una docena de científicos utilizan una combinación de datos paleoclimáticos -incluidos datos de núcleos de hielo polar y anillos de árboles-, modelos climáticos y datos de observación para concluir que la Tierra es mucho más sensible al cambio climático de lo que se creía hasta ahora.“Estamos en la fase inicial de una emergencia climática”, dice el informe, que advierte de que una oleada de calor “ya en marcha” elevará rápidamente l...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:05:14 GMT

It might not be the contract announcement most figured would be next, but the Chicago Bears got a deal done Thursday.Nose tackle Andrew Billings signed a two-year, $8.5 million contract extension, meaning the run stuffer will be with the organization through the 2025 season.“We’re extremely excited to be able to keep Andrew in Chicago,” general manager Ryan Poles said in a statement. “The professionalism, dependability and toughness he brings to our defense exhibit the type of player we want in our organization.”Poles indicated confidence Wednesday in his ability to sign newly acquired defensive end Montez Sweat to an extension, and he also spoke at length about the negotiating process with cornerback Jaylon Johnson. Those remain front-burner issues, but re-upping with Billings ensures a big part of this season’s defensive improvement will remain in place.Billings’ presence has been one key reason coach Matt Eberflus’ defense has impro...

Senate confirms three military officers as Sen. Tuberville holds up hundreds more

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:05:14 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate confirmed three top military officers on Thursday — including the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — as bipartisan frustration swirled around Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville for blocking hundreds more nominees. Republican senators plan to hold a closed-door meeting next week to discuss the Alabama senator's blockade of senior military nominees, which he has been waging over a Pentagon abortion policy. Republicans have tried, unsuccessfully, for almost nine months to quietly persuade Tuberville to drop the holds on almost 400 nominees. Senior military officials have warned repeatedly that the situation threatens readiness and national security. Anger over Tuberville's tactic spilled out in the Senate on Wednesday evening, when a group of Republican senators held the floor for more than four hours and called up 61 of the nominations for votes, praising each nominee for their military service and challenging the Alabama senator to explain h...
