The most beautiful, exciting and hopeful thing about November has come out of England and it is a weather forecast

by

The most beautiful, interesting and hopeful thing about November has come out of a cold building in the British city of Reading and it is a weather forecast. In its latest seasonal reading, the European Weather Forecast Center has sounded the alarm: Your data points to a negative NAO. And that, as you may have guessed, is magnificent news for Spain. But let’s go in parts and explain what we’re talking about.. The ‘NAO’ is the ‘North Atlantic Oscillation‘: the ‘dance’ between the Azores anticyclone and the Icelandic low, the two major atmospheric phenomena that govern the meteorology of the North Atlantic. When the index we use to “measure who is winning” is negative, the Azores anticyclone is weaker than normal and, for this reason, it cannot block deep Atlantic storms. The direct consequence is that they circulate further south than normal: right at our latitude. That is, precisely, what the ECMWF has planned from its headquarters in Reading, England. Kristian Strommen et al. (2021) It is not an isolated prediction. On the contrary, experts they have been warning weeks of a 2025-26 winter conditioned by La Niña and a potentially weaker polar vortex; that is, with greater probability of cold bursts in southwestern Europe. This is the double confirmation we needed for a seasonal prediction that (seasonal as it is) remains too generic and uncertain. But how positive it is. Why is it important? As I say, for Spain this is, in aggregate termsgood news. By increasing the frequency with which cyclones deviate south (favoring the Atlantic storms that reach us), the direct positive impact is noticeable on the level of reservoirs and the price of energy. How much can we trust a prediction of this type? Moderately. There is no doubt that meteorologists have greatly improved their ability to capture trends, but let’s not fool ourselves: it is already difficult for us to predict 15 days ahead, the seasons and months are another matter. However, it is not a random prediction. We simply have to understand it as a risk or a probable scenario and not as a deterministic and closed forecast. Because, in the end, in the enormous set of possible scenarios, this begins to be the most probable. And, if confirmed, our reservoirs will thank us.

The Spanish rice has come out in the most unexpected country in Europe: England

by

Spain is one of the great rice producers in Europe. The annual production of this cereal is around 800,000 tonsa significant portion of 2.8 million tons produced in the European Union. Now a new country could be incorporated into the list of European producing countries (although it comes late to join the Union list).It is the United Kingdom. A crop making their way. The rice cultivation He makes his way in England. An experimental rice plantation is demonstrating the viability of the cultivation of this cereal in the relatively fresh and humid climate of the British islands. Nine varieties. The experiment It is being driven by the UKCEH (UK Center for Ecology and Hydrology) and for a marriage of local farmers, Craig and Sarah Taylor. The experimental rice cultivation occupies four plots of a land in the FENS region, in Cambridgeshire. In this region of the East English, marshes and peat areas predominate. The soil in this region is not only rich in nutrients and conducive to agriculture but also offers, thanks to peat, the possibility of creating floodplains such as those required by rice cultivation. The four plots occupied by this experimental crop have been sufficient to cultivate nine varieties of rice, including rice originating in Brazil, Italy or the Philippines, varieties used for plates such as risotto, Basmati rice or sushi. With the help of heat. Cultivating rice in the British climate does not seem like a great idea, but the results seem to indicate otherwise. It may have contributed the exceptionally warm summer that has affected the British islands. The future of rice cultivation on the islands could depend on the heat lived this year being a simple anomaly or fruit of a trend marked towards increasing temperatures. “We could never have contemplated that this grew here,” explained to the BBC Sarah Taylor, one of those responsible for this project. “Not in a million years,” Apostille Craig, her husband. Tying the carbon. The mob plays an important role in carbon regulation. This soil originates in the decomposition of organic matter and stores a large amount of carbon. The degradation of these soils as a result of agricultural use implies the emission to the atmosphere of huge amounts of carbon dioxide. The rice planting project He wants to avoid thisTying the carbon to the terrestrial peat of the English region. This implies that the project not only has the potential to help adapt to change in the weather, it is also a way to mitigate the emissions that cause it. New competition? Climate change involves numerous challenges and perhaps one of the greatest has to do with agriculture. Changes in temperature and rain patterns imply that the crops that once prospered in one place stop doing so. On the other hand, change also open the road to the introduction of new crops where they would have been inconceivable before. In a changing context, rice crops in Spain raise a double threat. On the one hand, The drought lived a few years ago It was a threat to endanger the supply of water in areas such as the Ebro delta. In case that were not enough, the rainy episodes we have seen in the last year have also brought New threats to cereal producing regions.

England is living an unprecedented invasion. The problem is that they are octopus, and everything they find are devoured

by

It was at the beginning of 2025 when science gave With something “more” About those creatures that have given so much to speak. We knew that the octopuses were intelligent, but not to the point of having A “brain” on each arm that allows them, apparently, to act with extreme precision and independently. With such a versatile “beast”, the United Kingdom has been found. But not a normal one, a unprecedented invasion. Attack on the English coast. Yes, the southern coast of England has lived an unusual phenomenon: the massive arrival Mediterranean, a rare species in those waters and, suddenly, has become the protagonist of the docks and fishing markets. In Brixham, the main port of the Southwest, fishermen like Arthur Dewhirc up to 10,000 extra pounds Weekly. Between January and August they auctioned More than 12,000 tonswith daily peaks of 48 tons, which made the town the “octopus capital” of the United Kingdom. Restaurants and shops joined the fury, incorporating the animal of menus and facades, and making it local emblem of an exceptional year. Climate change. Scientists point out TO THE SEA WARMING as the main explanation of the phenomenon. Professor Steve Simpson, from the University of Bristol, underlined In the New York Times that the British waters are at the northern limit of the usual range of the Mediterranean octopus, but the increase in temperatures has made the environment It is more favorable For your settlement. What seemed impossible a few decades ago has now materialized: a direct pulse of visible climate change in the abundance of a species that previously barely reached those latitudes. Benefits and threats. Although for many drags the boom has meant an unexpected economic relief, for crab and lobster marshal It is more gloomy. The octopus, voracious and intelligent predators, have colonized the nasas used to capture crustaceans, devouring them inside and leaving only empty shells. In locations like salocombe, veteran fishermen like Jon Dornom They related the surprise initial (“hundreds of aliens” in their traps) that soon became anguish when checking how seafood populations collapsed. Of a successful trip with almost three captured tons passed to nasas full of remainswhich threatens the sustainability of your business in the medium term. Uncertain phenomenon. That is known, the last great irruption of octopos in English waters dates back to the fiftieswhen they appeared in mass and disappeared in just one or two years. That historical memory remembers the unpredictable of the phenomenon: no one can ensure if the wave will be repeated or if it has been an isolated episode. For fishermen, this uncertainty is crucialbecause its economic future depends on both the continuity of the boom and the ravages that may have caused in crustacean populations. Social and cultural impact. The emergence of octopus has not only lived in economic terms. In Brixham, the animal has become identity symbol Local: murals in coffee shops, neons in port buildings, viral chef videos showing how to prepare it and innovative dishes that have found good reception among neighbors and tourists. In fact, the creature has gone from exotic rarity to mass consumption product in an environment not accustomed to it. Popular enthusiasm contrasts with fear of those who see traditional species of English fishing, fundamental for the diet and trade of the region. Between bonanza and fear. Thus, the octopus invasion On the southern coast of England it reflects the complex interaction between climate change, fishing economy and marine ecology. While some celebrate the closest to an unexpected mana, others They fear a catastrophe that permanently alters the balances of his underwear. Plus: The experience of the fifties remembers that the octopus can disappear as suddenly as it came, but the Global warming suggests that phenomena of this type should be increasingly frequent. For fishermen, the lesson seems clear: the fate of their tasks no longer depends only on the sea, but on climatic fluctuations and the unpredictable behavior of a cephalopod that has become both salvation and threat.

Despite never winning, England always had to have invented football. It is possible that now not that

by

It is not necessary to go very far to know until Where they are capable If some English arrive when what is at stake is the king sport. Just 24 hours ago the Europa League final left in the city of Bilbao Scenes Barbaric that remembered other times with empires in between. Therefore, the last archaeological discovery should put Europe on guard. What would happen if the English discover that in the end they were not the inventors of football? Worse, what would happen if they discovered that they were their neighbors? The invention of football (and its rules). The truth is that the last finding adds to others that have questioned the authorship of the sport of the ball over the English. We have already told it before, the Maya They played footballor something very similar, and the same could be said of China thousands of years ago or of the Florentine calcium (As for the modern rules). Be that as it may, the last of the possible “inventors” is, perhaps, the one that can hurt the English. The friends Scottish They are behind. The beginning: pig. Let’s go with The English theory. For more than a century and a half, the official history of football has been unequivocally of them. The roots of the so -called “beautiful game” have commonly tracked to the chaotic and brutal games of the so -called Mob Football In medieval England, where crowds of peasants pushed and hit collective struggles without clear rules for the control of an inflated pig bladder. Over time, and to order chaos, a young London lawyer written in 1863 The first formal sport regulation, adopted by the Football Associationwhich consolidated England as the recognized cradle of modern football. That narrative, however, has now questioned a Archaeological finding in Scotland that could force to review the symbolic foundations of football as it is known. Mossobin’s field. The discovery, led by Ged O’Brien, founder of the Scottish Soccer Museumand a team of archaeologists of the Archaeology ScotlandIt consists of what could be the oldest organized soccer field: a rectangular extension of flat terrain in an old seventeenth farm in Anwoth, Kirkcudbrightshire. The key, apparently, is in A written letter between 1627 and 1638 by Reverendo Samuel Rutherford, Presbyterian pastor of the local parish, where regretted that his parishioners They played Foot-Ball on Sunday afternoon, instead of attending religious trades. As a deterrent, Rutherford ordered row To prevent matches, what archaeologists interpret as a kind of precarious sign of “forbidden to play.” Physical tests and context. The team excavated and analyzed the terrain, discarding any agricultural or livestock use for the line of stones found, and determined that he dated about 400 years ago. The alignment, the configuration of the field (about 85 x 45 meters) and the documentary evidence supports the hypothesis that there was played there The closest to football regularly and organized. O’Brien insists that this It wasn’t Mob Footballbut a more civilized and recurring version, practiced every Sunday with implicit social rules, such as avoiding excessive violence so as not to prevent players from working the next day. The continuity and function of the field suggest a sports practice with structure and periodicitywhich, if confirmed, would displace southern England as the only legitimate origin of organized football. National pride and shock. No doubt, the reaction from England has not been waiting. Steve Wood, representative of the organization Sheffield Home of Footballhe has responded With skepticismclaiming that you cannot know what type of “foot-ball” was played in Mossobin or establish a direct connection with modern football encoded in 1863. From that optics, the Sheffield FC Foundation In 1857 (recognized by FIFA as the oldest club in the world) it would continue to be the true starting point. But for O’Brien, that attitude is a more manifestation of English chauvinisma subtle way of belittling history and Scottish cultural contributions. “We weren’t too poor or too small or too stupid to play football,” He underlined. “What was played in Mossobin was the grandfather of modern football. And he was Scottish,” he settled. Rewriting a legend. Had the New York Times That, although it is unlikely that this finding immediately replaces the official narrative accepted by global football institutions, its symbolic value is enormous. It offers an alternative look at the evolution of king sport, showing that the impulse of kick A community ball was not a sudden invention of English boarding schools, but a cultural expression more widespread and old of what was believed. If you want also, the dispute goes beyond the pitch: a battle For historical identity of a worldwide phenomenon, in which a small but proud nation demands its place in history books. Thus, in the 21st century, the debate on the origin of football not only faces fans or historians, but becomes a more land between two visions of greatness diametrically opposed within the British islands. That trembles Europe. Image | James Kirkup In Xataka | The Maya played football.

700 tons of nuclear waste have arrived in Germany from England. Germans are not quite happy

by

A very particular shipment has landed on the German coasts. The special ship for the transport of nuclear waste Pacific Grebe docked in the port of Nordenham, northwest of Germany, transporting highly radioactive waste from the United Kingdom. Upon arrival, It was received by antinuclear activists and a strong police device. The controversial delivery. In total, seven castor nuclear containers, each four meters long and with a weight of more than 100 tons. More than 700 tons of nuclear waste in total only with this shipment. It’s about high -level waste (HLW) subject to a vitrification process. That is, mixed with liquid silicates and sponsored in stainless steel cylinders that are sealically sealed once the glass solidifies. These cylinders are then introduced into Castor containers, made of cast iron and stainless steel, a robust armor against radiation. They are German waste. The remains of the reprocessing of nuclear fuel used in former German centrals, which until 2005 was sent to facilities such as Sellafield’s in the United Kingdom and Hague, in France. Although Germany closed its last nuclear centrals in 2023, it has the contractual obligation to recover waste. This is the second of the three shipments planned from Sellafield to complete the repatriation of German nuclear waste. The first arrived in 2020 and was stored in Bibliis. Shipments from France concluded in November 2024. Once in Nordenham, Castor containers are moving with cranes to a special train. Before embarking on the ground, technicians make measurements to ensure that radiation levels comply with legal limits. The train takes the remains to a Intermediate storage In Narderaichbach (Bavaria), next to the old nuclear power plant in ISAR. The exact route remains a secret for security reasons. Why protests? The arrival of new waste has revived the debate and nuclear opposition in Germany. Groups like Ausgestrahlt (“Irradiada”) and Castor-Stoppen (“Stop the Castor”) have organized the protests. They argue that every movement of these materials “entails a huge risk” and criticize that the waste moves to Temporary storesinstead of waiting to have a deep geological cemetery definitive. Move them now, They say“only postpone the problem and do not solve it”, and ask that the waste only transports once towards their final destination. More protests are expected along the route that will presumably follow the train, including cities such as Bremen and Göttingen. There is a strong police deployment around these transports. The temporary stores. Germany faces the challenge of managing about 27,000 cubic meters of accumulated radioactive waste for 60 years of nuclear energy. For now, these materials are stored in 16 temporary stores distributed throughout the country. The search for deep geological storage to bury them definitively is underway, but it is a long and complex process, As Finland has demonstratedwhose example now follows countries that are closing their nuclear plants; Germany and Spain at the head. In short. Germany is fulfilling its international obligations by bringing its own nuclear waste back. It is what promised the United Kingdom and France. But each shipment reopens the wound of an unresolved problem: the lack of a permanent and safe home for the most delicate legacy of its nuclear era, which generates restlessness and protests between part of its population.
