Himalayan glaciers could lose 80% of their volume if global warming isn't controlled, study finds

BENGALURU, India (AP) — Glaciers are melting at unprecedented rates across the Hindu Kush Himalayan mountain ranges and could lose up to 80% of their volume this century if greenhouse gas emissions aren't sharply reduced, according to a report.The report Tuesday from Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development warned that flash floods and avalanches would grow more likely in coming years, and that the availability of fresh water would be affected for nearly 2 billion people who live downstream of 12 rivers that originate in the mountains.Ice and snow in the Hindu Kush Himalayan ranges is an important source of water for those rivers, which flow through 16 countries in Asia and provide fresh water to 240 million people in the mountains and another 1.65 billion downstream.“The people living in these mountains who have contributed next to nothing to global warming are at high risk due to climate change,” said Amina Maharjan, a migration specialist and one o...

‘We’re fighting … for each other’: SF Giants walk off Padres on Yastrzemski’s splash hit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:31:09 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — By now, you should know not to count out these San Francisco Giants until the 27th and final out. Because, look, they did it again.Silenced for six innings Monday night by longtime nemesis Michael Wacha, trailing the Padres by two runs entering the ninth inning, the Giants manufactured yet another come-from-behind win, extending their season-best winning streak to eight games, walking off their division rivals in improbable fashion.Mike Yastrzemski, who homered once already in the sixth and scored the tying run in the bottom of the ninth, launched a walk-off splash hit in the bottom of the 10th to beat the Padres, 7-4. Yastrzemski, less than a week removed from another game-winning home run in St. Louis, emphatically dropped his bat and watch the ball sail into McCovey Cove — the counter in right field now reads 102 — before being mobbed by his teammates at home plate.“That was probably the first time I’ve actually enjoyed it a little bit,” Yastrzem...

BERLÍN — La policía del sur de Alemania dijo el lunes que una turista estadounidense que fue empujada a un barranco durante un ataque cerca del castillo de Neuschwanstein en el que murió su amiga de 21 años fue dada de alta del hospital.La mujer de 22 años había tratado de evitar que un hombre de Michigan de 30 años supuestamente agrediera a su amiga después de atraerlas por un sendero que conduce a un mirador con vista al famoso castillo, que atrae a más de un millón de turistas cada año.La mujer mayor cayó casi 50 metros (165 pies) por una pendiente empinada, pero pudo salir del hospital el viernes, dijo el portavoz policial Holger Stabik.Ambas mujeres fueron recuperadas por rescatistas de montaña poco después del ataque del miércoles, pero la víctima más joven murió más tarde en el hospital a causa de sus heridas.El sospechoso, cuyo nombre al igual que el de las víctimas no fue revelado debido a las normas de privacidad alemanas, fue arrestado poco después del incidente.

How to navigate Spain’s EU presidency policy agenda like a pro

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:31:09 GMT

Spare a thought for Spanish diplomats in Brussels. They’re going to be working flat-out until Christmas.Sweden has spent the last six months trying to process a huge pile of legislative files, many of which were proposed late by a European Commission distracted by COVID-19 and Russia’s war on Ukraine.Despite commendable progress, many of these files still need a lot of work before being passed into law. Look at the files we’ve laid out below, then look back at what we wrote six months ago, and you’ll see many of the same entries.Spain’s turn leading the Council of the EU is the last full-length presidency before next year’s European Parliament elections, which will take place from June 6-9; campaigning will eat away at legislative capacity for several weeks before that, leaving Belgium just a few short months to wrap everything up before a new Parliament and Commission reset the agenda.Here’s a selection of the files weighing down Spain’s in-tray.Grappling with the AI bo...

Can Spain close urgent EU fiscal reforms? Don’t bank on it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:31:09 GMT

Spanish negotiators will feel pressure to make progress on all files before EU election next June, which will throw the legislative agenda into disarray. But one file stands out for its urgency: If new fiscal rules aren’t agreed soon, an outdated rulebook suspended during the pandemic will come back into force with little hope of compliance.The EU’s Stability and Growth Pact was put on ice in 2020 to allow governments to jolt their economies back to life after COVID-19. Since then, supporting Ukraine against the Russian invasion — and weathering the related surge in energy prices — has ballooned their budgets further.The pact is due to come back into force on January 1, 2024 and it’s unlikely that new rules will be in place by then — which is why the Commission already issued provisional guidelines for 2024, trying to create a bridge between the old rules and the new ones under negotiation. If Spain can reach a deal in the EU Council by the end of the year, and lawmakers can do like...
