What is officially considered “dangerous heat” in the coming decades will likely hit much of the world at least three times more often as climate change worsens, according to a new study. In many of Earth’s rich mid-latitudes, sudden temperature and humidity spikes that seem like 103 degrees (39.4 degrees Celsius) or higher — now an occasional summer shock — should statistically occur 20 to 50 times a year by mid-century, according to a study Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change....

Einem Bericht zufolge geht die Bundesregierung nun einen Schritt in Richtung Bundesländer. Insbesondere will die FDP über die Maskenpflicht in Flugzeugen verhandeln. Auch über die Maskenpflicht im Flugzeug will die FDP-Fraktion bei den Beratungen zum neuen Infektionsschutzgesetz verhandeln, das ab Herbst umgesetzt werden soll.

Citibank on Thursday issued a press release announcing its intention to close its consumer and local commercial banking businesses in Russia as part of a longer-term “global strategic renewal” first announced in April 2021. “We have explored multiple strategic options for the sale of these businesses in recent months. It is clear that the liquidation path makes more sense given the many complicating factors in the environment,” Legacy Franchises CEO Titi Cole said in the release, although as of July the bank was still trying to negotiate the sale of its local franchise....

AVERTISSEMENT – La faiblesse actuelle de la monnaie unique rappelle les trois premières années de sa circulation, particulièrement douloureuses. Si le pire n’est pas toujours certain, mieux vaut y penser pour l’éviter… Pour la deuxième fois cet été, l’euro a subi cette semaine un coup de froid spectaculaire, repassant sous la parité avec le dollar (un euro valait 0,9927 $ le 23 août selon le taux de référence officiel de la Banque centrale européenne)....

Before we dive into the crop display, Europe’s centuries-old “hunger stones” were recently revealed in the Elbe River, which runs from the mountains of the Czech Republic through Germany to the North Sea. The stones date from a drought in 1616 and read: “Wenn du mich siehst, dann weine”. This translates to “if you see me, then cry.” The warning on the rocks seems correct because the new crop report predicts that corn yields will fall 16% below the five-year average....

The county could remain disconnected from the mainland until 2025 after the train company dashed hopes of a gradual return of services next year. Eurostar will continue to have “significant” financial commitments for several years after the passenger drought during the lockdown, he said, delaying any changes to its timetable. The operator also blamed Brexit, saying border restrictions have “hardened” since the UK left the EU.

But when reports emerged that the next installment of the video game franchise – in which hardened criminals wreak havoc with car chases, gunfights and lots of cursing – would co-star a female character, a wave of negativity on social media and YouTube soon followed. “Fat feminists have gone too far now,” said one YouTuber. “I can guarantee you that if it’s a woke piece of shit, there’s no way it’s going to outsell GTA 5,” said another....

The title sequence brings back the original Game of Thrones theme, but changes the visuals to match the show’s focus on House Targaryen....
