More than 21,000 evacuated as heavy rains continue to lash flood-hit Malaysia https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/more-than-21000-evacuated-as-heavy-rains-continue-to-lash-flood-hit-malaysia Mon, 20 Dec 2021 02:22:36 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/more-than-21000-evacuated-as-heavy-rains-continue-to-lash-flood-hit-malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: More than 21,000 people affected by Malaysia’s worst flooding in years — most of them in Selangor — were sheltering in relief centres on Sunday (Dec 19).

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced the government would allocate an initial sum of RM100 million for house and infrastructure repairs, and will provide financial aid to affected households.

In a Facebook post, the prime minister said he had “directed all ministries to double up efforts in helping flood operations especially in the severely affected areas as soon as possible”.

Scientists didn’t see omicron coming. And no one knows what’s next https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/scientists-didnt-see-omicron-coming-and-no-one-knows-whats-next Mon, 20 Dec 2021 00:23:31 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/scientists-didnt-see-omicron-coming-and-no-one-knows-whats-next

In spring 2020, shortly after the pandemic began, many scientists predicted that the coronavirus would not evolve particularly fast.

But those predictions have been upended time and again — and never more so than with omicron, a variant with an astonishing number of mutations that is rampaging through Europe and South Africa. In New York, cases are suddenly soaring to record levels as holiday parties and sports games are canceled, and California officials are bracing for a similar crisis in the coming weeks.

Once again, uncertainty and worry are rising. No one knows what the next Greek letter variants will unleash.

You can now travel all the way from Portugal to Singapore https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/you-can-now-travel-all-the-way-from-portugal-to-singapore Fri, 17 Dec 2021 20:23:07 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/you-can-now-travel-all-the-way-from-portugal-to-singapore

Reddit user htGoSEVe posted a map of the potential rail voyage, later updating his post to reflect the fact that sections of the journey — from Lisbon to Hendaye in France, and the Paris-Moscow Express, for example — have been paused during the pandemic.

Rail enthusiasts estimate that it would cost a little over £1,000 in tickets.

But fellow Reddit user Shevek99 commented to suggest that the journey could be made even longer and more ambitious by starting further east.

Moving CO2 from Air to Oceans May Be Necessary to Slow Warming https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/moving-co-2-from-air-to-oceans-may-be-necessary-to-slow-warming Fri, 10 Dec 2021 05:22:54 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/12/moving-co-2-from-air-to-oceans-may-be-necessary-to-slow-warming

Moving CO2 from Air to Oceans May Be Necessary to Slow Warming.


Climbing concentrations of carbon dioxide make it likely that humans will have to move some gases from the atmosphere into the oceans to prevent crippling effects of climate change, the National Academies said in a major report released yesterday.

It came after months of deliberation among top U.S. scientists who concluded that global efforts to reduce emissions, even if successful, “may not be enough to stabilize the climate.” The report identified six ways to capture and store carbon dioxide in the oceans, a controversial idea that the report said “will likely be needed.”

Potential methods include stimulating more plant growth in and around the oceans and manipulating ocean currents to draw CO2 deep underwater.
