The research, published in Annual Reviews of Environment and Resources, tracked the rate of greenhouse gas emissions over the last two decades against global efforts to reduce them. Since the early 2000s, governments around the world have enacted numerous regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

By B.J. Hansen Published Aug 7, 2023 07:59 am Sonora, CA — For the first time in 15 years, there will be a discussion about changing the salaries for Sonora City Council members. Back in 2009, the council approved a reduction in pay so that the Mayor receives $150 a month and all other council members receive $125. State law allows city councils for communities the size of Sonora to increase salaries up to 5% each year, and not to exceed $300 per month. Given that the last change was in 2009, the council could raise salaries up to $262 for the Mayor and $218 for individual council members.

His menacing words toward Mark Milley and Letitia James should not be shrugged off Margaret Sullivan / Guardian UK 06 October 23 Twice in the past two weeks, Donald Trump has suggested violent consequences for those who dare to cross him. Mark Milley, the outgoing chairman of the joint chiefs of staff? He deserves to be executed, Trump charged. Milley's backchannel communications, intended to reassure Chinese military leaders before and after the 2020 election, amounted to a treasonous act 'so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!' And Letitia James, the New York attorney general who filed a damaging civil fraud case against Trump? He didn't stop at calling her 'corrupt and racist'.

INDIANAPOLIS – A new study of caregivers of LGBT older adults living with Alzheimer's disease provides rare insight into the intersection of caregiving and the LGBT experience. Researchers from Regenstrief Institute and the medical schools of Indiana University and University of Colorado report that many common caregiver experiences -- such as feelings of social isolation and of being overwhelmed -- are similar for caregivers, whether an individual with Alzheimer's disease is LGBT or not. However, because LGBT older adults often do not have adult children who can serve as caregivers or may be estranged from their families of origin, provision of the care they need, frequently provided by spouses or partners, is especially challenging.

MANILA, Philippines — Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr., who has denied having a hand in the recent assassination of his political nemesis, Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo, was accused by the police on Tuesday of ordering a series of murders in his province four years ago. The killings that took place from March to June 2019 came to the fore as investigators in the Degamo case zeroed in on politics as the likely motive for the brazen attack on the home of the provincial chief executive that also left eight other persons dead on Saturday.

Cambridge, Mass. - An extreme star system is giving new meaning to the phrase "surf's up." The star system intrigued researchers because it is the most dramatic "heartbeat star" on record. Now new models have revealed that titanic waves, generated by tides, are repeatedly breaking on one of the stars in the system-the first time this phenomenon has ever been seen on a star. Heartbeat stars are stars in close pairs that periodically pulse in brightness, like the rhythm of a beating heart on an EKG machine.
