The US is currently suffering its worst drought in 25 years that has impacted all but two states.Roughly 257 million Americans are living under a severe drought warning as drier and warmer conditions overtook the nation last month, leaving only Alaska and Kentucky unaffected.Several states have asked residents to cut their water consumption by reducing shower times, not watering their lawns and flushing the toilet less to conserve resources and the situation was so severe in Pennsylvania it led to a lake drying up and revealed the remnants of a 200-year-old bridge.The worst-hit areas include Texas, Ohio, West Virginia, Wyoming, Montana and…
The emails, so many of them heartbreaking, have been flooding our inboxes. Mostly they’re from young people – in their 30s or early 40s – who have been diagnosed with bowel cancer. There have been hundreds – and many told stories that were strikingly similar.They’d ignored their symptoms – blood in their stools, weight loss or stomach pain – or, worse, had them dismissed by GPs because they were ‘too young’ to have this awful disease. Other emails came from grieving parents who’d watched their children die from bowel cancer after a diagnosis came too late.But what they all had…
The Mayans believed in many gods. They were also highly literate, architecturally advanced and developed a system of mathematics that included one of the earliest examples of zero.Today, in their former Yucatan heartland – and especially along the Caribbean coast near Mexico’s heaving Cancun – the worship is focused on one thing and one lucrative thing only: tourism. The maths is all about the bottom line.Most of the architecture isn’t exactly subtle, but what an extraordinary stretch of coast it is, going on and on for nearly 100 miles, punctuated by huge hotels, mainly all-inclusive, sunk into powdery white sand.It…
Siggy Flicker was an instant hit on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. But after quitting the show in 2017, the straight-talking glamour puss retreated from the chaos of limelight. The housewives dismissed her with nasty put-downs and a public shunning. She was admonished and mocked when it emerged she had voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Now, she’s in the brightest spotlight of them all. ‘Siggy, one of the greatest people in the world. Just look at her – we love her,’ Trump said during an August speech. Flicker, 54, has been by Trump’s side on his campaign plane and at Mar-a-Lago. She was seen dancing…

Scientists have proposed radical plan to stop a massive Antarctic glacier from melting that would cause catastrophic flooding along the US East Coast.They suggested installing a giant underwater curtain, artificially thickening glaciers with seawater or cooling the bedrock they slide over to mitigate warm waters from reaching the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the ‘Doomsday Glacier.’The Thwaites Glacier is melting at an increasing rate due to climate change and would raise global sea levels by 10 feet, flooding coastal cities like New York, Charleston, Atlantic City and Miami. To avoid this, researchers led by the Climate Systems Engineering Initiative at the University of Chicago published a report calling…
