Sam Nolan (JUNEAU, Alaska) -- Astonished scientists could not have predicted the severity of a glacial lake outburst flood that inundated a large portion of Juneau, Alaska, over the weekend. Now, they're worried the unprecedented event could happen again. City officials in Juneau, Alaska, issued an emergency declaration Sunday after a glacier lake outburst flood, from the Suicide Basin on the Mendenhall Glacier, wreaked havoc in the city. Typically, researchers at the National Service expect a steady flow when a break occurs from Suicide Basin, National Service Juneau hydrologist Aaron Jacobs told ABC News.

Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers (Photo from a video posted on the Facebook page of the House of Representatives) MANILA, Philippines — Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers called on the country's policymakers to consider the setup of a government body that would act as a 'guardrail' in the local use and development of artificial intelligence (AI). Barbers maintained it was urgent for the Philippines to create an office that would craft guidelines on and regulate AI technologies, citing the worldwide rush, particularly in the United States, Great Britain, the European Union, and some Southeast Asian countries, to draft regulations for their use.

AUSTIN, Texas — Institutional investors want companies to report more about their climate risk, according to a new study from a researcher at The University of Texas at Austin. In a survey of 439 institutional investors, the study found growing evidence that investors demand disclosure of climate risk, because that information can affect a company's health and performance. "There has been an ongoing debate about the differences between mandatory and voluntary disclosure. Our work suggests that the current largely voluntary reporting regime does not enable fully informed climate-related investment decisions," said Laura Starks, a finance professor at the McCombs School of Business.
