New regulations aimed toward limiting the carbon intensity in fuels in California could curb the state’s ongoing drop in gas prices. According to the Los Angeles Times, the California Air Resources Board approved the new measures in a 12-2 vote. Supporters cited the push that the new measures will provide in moving California away from fossil fuels. The plan will limit the carbon intensity in fuels by expanding a program instituted in 2011 that penalized refineries that create high-carbon fuel, like diesel and gasoline. New regulations would increase the penalties, thus increasing the price of production. The CARB has previously talked about a plan to move the state toward “carbon neutrality” by 2045. Trump tears into Newsom over special legislative session  In September of last year, CARB estimated the now-passed regulations could raise gas prices by 47 cents per gallon, but analysts, according to The Times, say customers at the pump could be paying 65 cents more per gallon if the regulations go through. The Times reports that CARB officials no longer believe that the prices will rise quite that high, however. “Any claims that

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Qatar has suspended its key mediation efforts between Hamas and Israel, it said Saturday, after growing frustration with the lack of progress on a cease-fire deal for Gaza. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the remaining Hamas leadership hosted by Qatar must leave, or where it would go. Hamas has good relations with Iran and Turkey, and some of its leaders are now in Lebanon. However, Qatar is highly likely to return to mediation efforts if both sides show “serious political willingness” to reach a deal, according to an official with Egypt, the other key mediator. Qatar told Israel and Hamas it can’t continue to mediate “as long as there is a refusal to negotiate a deal in good faith” and “as a consequence, the Hamas political office no longer serves its purpose” in Qatar, a diplomatic source briefed on the matter said. Qatar told Hamas it will have to leave if it isn’t ready to engage in serious negotiations, the source said. In Washington, a U.S. official said the Biden administration informed Qatar two weeks ago that the Hamas

Federal authorities are looking into the source of racist mass text messages sent to Black people – including children – across America this week.  The anonymously sent hateful messages, which were reported in multiple states, were sent to Black college, high school and middle school students and referenced slavery.   Many of the texts started with this message (or something similar): “You have been selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation.”  The Associated Press reported that the messages “varied somewhat but they all instructed recipients to ‘board a bus’ that would transport them to a ‘plantation’ to work as slaves.”  A North Carolina mother only identified as Nicole said that she was deeply disturbed by the text her daughter showed her Thursday night.  “You hear about things like this, but you never want your child to have any experience with it,” she said. “Ideally, this wouldn’t be an issue as she grows up…it’s like a slap in the face and shows me that [racism] an issue that has not changed at all.”   $20,000 reward offered for information on suspect who fatally shot sea

Updated on: November 9, 2024 / 1:51 PM EST / AP ClimateWatch: Climate change across America ClimateWatch: The dramatic effects of climate change from coast to coast 22:17 Two years of record-breaking drought have dealt a heavy blow to what is arguably the Amazon’s most successful sustainable economy: the managed fishery for the giant pirarucu. In Brazil´s Amazonas state, almost 6,000 riverine dwellers authorized to fish have reported a sharp drop in production and rising costs. They are demanding aid from the federal government and debating how to adapt to climate change. Last year’s catch totaled 70% of the government-authorized quota of 100,443 fish. This year could see an even steeper decline, since many communities still haven´t been able to fish. The season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.

The well-run 1984 Olympics transformed Los Angeles. Not through the Games, which thrillingly came and went, but through the Olympic Arts Festival, which taught us to dream and inspired us to do. Forty year later, we have added Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles Opera, the Getty Center, the Soraya, the Geffen Playhouse, the Hammer Museum, the Wallis, the Nimoy, the Industry, L.A. Dance Project, Wild Up, the Broad museum and the Broad Stage. The Olympic Arts Festival turned us into an arts capital in a remarkably short period of time. Now that Paris has symbolically handed the Olympic torch back to us, our Games in 2028 no longer seem so far away. By then, we will have added Frank Gehry’s new Colburn Center, a 1,000-seat concert hall with the potential of turning Grand Avenue into an avenue of the arts unlike any in the world. A short Metro ride away will be the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s new Peter Zumthor-designed David Geffen Galleries. This leaves the arts community excited and galvanized but also alarmed after Casey Wasserman, chairman of LA28, the private

With an estimated 20,000 whales dying from ship strikes each year, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Falmouth, Mass. is working to use artificial intelligence and thermal-imaging cameras to diminish these unnecessary deaths. The independent organization, dedicated to ocean research, technology and education, said that the technology can spot whales more than 4 miles away and alert captains before fatal strikes occur. “This technology uses thermal imaging to detect a whale’s body or spout and provides real-time information on their distance and bearing from a vessel,” the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution announced in an October press release. “The goal is to provide ship captains with enough time for vessels to be able to change course or slow down.” A thermal imaging camera system, seen mounted to a ship, can detect moving objects, like whales, from several miles away. (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is working with the Matson Navigation Company in Hawaii to better protect marine mammals from ocean liners, commercial fishing vessels and cargo ships. The Hawaii-based shipping company Matson Navigation has pledged $1 million to support WHOI’s research and development
