bomb southern Gaza

by

After two long years of war, with 67,000 dead, massive displacements and more than 160,000 injured, according to the calculations managed by the UN itself, Gaza sees the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s not the first timebut this time the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has generated enthusiasm among the local population and congratulations, among others, from Donald Trump. Israel has already begun to withdraw its troops towards the agreed line, but not before having made a move. Which? Launch a bombardment on Khan Younis, south of the Strip, and Gaza City, only a few hours later that the Government gave its OK to the pact. What has happened? That Gaza sees the light closer at the end of the long tunnel it entered two years agowhen Israel launched a broad military offensive on the Strip in response to Hamas attacks. Both parties have ratified an agreement promoted by Donald Trump that materialized on Thursday in Sharm el Sheikh with the participation of Qatari, Egyptian and Turkish mediators. Only a few hours later, early on Friday, the agreement received the support of the Israeli Government, which has supported him despite the votes against the far-right formations. What exactly did they agree on? What they have agreed is the first phase of the plan promoted by Trump in Gaza, which in practice implies “the immediate end of the war”, but maintains some important challenges on the horizon, such as the disarmament of Hamas or the creation of a technocratic government. For now, in words of the American president, the agreement contemplates that “ALL (sic) hostages will be released very soon and Israel will withdraw troops to an agreed line” with a view to achieving “a solid, lasting and eternal peace.” Now the road map contemplates that in 24 hours a ceasefire will come into force and the Israeli troops will withdraw to a line from which they will continue to maintain control of the 53% of the Strip. During the offensive it is estimated that he dominated more than 80%. After 72 hours after the end of the attacks, it will be Hamas’s turn, which will have to release the 20 hostages it still keeps alive. Later he will hand over the deceased. Israel will also release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detainees in Gaza. Another important point is the arrival of humanitarian aid. How did the pact start? With bittersweet flavor. The Gazans have received the agreement with joy (and relief) after two years of war during which the Israeli offensive has resulted in 67,000 deadsome 170,000 injured, forced displacement and famine in Gaza recognized by the United Nations. However, the last few hours have left both positive and negative news. Among the first (the hopeful ones) is the start of withdrawal of Israel, which today has begun to move its troops to the agreed line. Among the second (the bad ones or at the very least shocking) is the decision that the Hebrew Government adopted almost at the same time that it approved Trump’s partial plan: last morning its army bombed Khan Yunis, in the south of the Strip, and Gaza City (north), according to inform the Palestinian agency Wafa. What were the attacks like? Air and artillery. Furthermore, they were carried out after the Israeli Government had given the green light to the ceasefire plan, again according to the information revealed by the Wafa agency and Filastin. Despite the withdrawal, troops remain stationed in certain military areas, such as the Netzarim Corridor, and the Gaza Civil Defense has asked Gazans to be cautious. His advice is “not to approach or return to the areas where the occupation forces were present” until the departure of the Israeli army is made official. The message is directed above all to the border areas of Gaza City. And now what? It is not the first ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. At the beginning of this year both parties already reached a pact which ended up being frustrated months later, in marchwhen Israel launched deadly attacks in Gaza and Hamas accused Benjamin Netanyahu of having acted “unilaterally.” Despite the challenges that still lie ahead, the new pact has generated expectation both between Palestinians and Israelis and between the authorities global. Does context matter? Yes. The pact also comes in the midst of growing pressure regarding Israeli action in Gaza and the involvement of Donald Trump, who just yesterday, hours before the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize was announced, boasted having brokered the end of eight wars. The award has finally gone to Maria Corina Machadoleader of the Venezuelan opposition. “Hope returns to us to stop the death, murders, destruction and displacement,” recognized yesterday eah The Country Abu Gamea, a 67-year-old Gazan.

24 years ago, the earth was symmetrical. Now the northern hemisphere is “unequivocally” darker than the southern hemisphere

by

NASA’s last 24 years of satellite data reveal an “unequivocal” trend: the earth has lost its balance, and now the northern hemisphere reflects less light than the southern hemisphere. How is that? Until a few years ago, our planet maintained an almost perfect symmetry in regard to its albedo: its reflectivity from the perspective of an observer in the earth’s orbit. Despite its obvious differences (the north dominated by terrestrial masses and the south by oceans), both hemispheres reflected practically the same amount of sunlight to outer space. Now that doesn’t happen anymore. The northern hemisphere is absorbing more solar energy than the southern hemisphere, breaking the balance that had been maintained for a long time. In figures. The new study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciencesquantifies this divergence at 0.34 wm – 2 per decade. It is a statistically significant value that points to a deep change in the energy engine of our planet. And why? The study, led by Norman Loeb, from the NASA Langley Research Center, points to a combination of factors; The first one, somewhat paradoxical. According to Loeb, the main engine of the growing asymmetry is the aerosols, the tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere against which we have been fighting for some time. Thanks to environmental protection measures, fine particle pollution has decreased significantly in Europe, the United States and China in recent years. Less contamination means a cleaner air and, therefore, less particles that reflect sunlight. The result is that more radiation reaches the surface and is absorbed. In the southern hemisphere it has happened just the opposite. Mass events, such as Australian forest fires of 2019-2020 or the eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano in 2022, injected huge amounts of aerosols into the atmosphere, temporarily increasing the reflectivity. There is something else. To the aerosols we must add the change in the Albedo of the surface itself. The northern hemisphere is losing snow and sea ice at an accelerated pace, in this case because of global warming. If white and bright surfaces (which reflect the light) are replaced by water and dark terrain (that absorb it), the hemisphere is further darkened. Clouds are missing. What has most bewildered scientists is the role of clouds. For a long time it was theorized that clouds would act as a natural compensatory mechanism for this phenomenon: if a hemisphere darkened by external factors, atmospheric circulation would adjust cloudiness to reflect more light and restore balance. However, the data shows that this is not what is happening. The study concludes that the contribution of clouds to the difference in reflectivity between hemispheres is surprisingly small. The reason is complex: it seems that the changes in the clouds of the tropics are being canceled with the changes in the highest latitudes, questioning one of the fundamental hypotheses on the self -regulation of the earth’s climate. A problem. That a hemisphere hotly gets more than the other is not a simple academic curiosity. The Earth’s energy balance is the engine that drives atmospheric and oceanic circulation; that is, our climate and our weather patterns. This imbalance is already having consequences. The northern hemisphere not only heats up faster than the south, but is also seeing an increase in rainfall in tropical latitudes. If the intertopical convergence zone, the land rain belt, moves north, the consequences will be hard for billions of people.

How Granada wants to become the great battery of southern Spain

by

Spain needs energy storage solutions, That is indisputable. With a good part of its electricity from renewablesthe country faces the great challenge of saving energy when the wind does not blow or the sun appears. In that context, the Villar Mir project appears in Granada: a reversible hydroelectric plant of 356 MW linked to the Rules reservoir. A key step in the procedures. The Villar Mir Energy subsidiary has just achieved the FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DECLARATION of the Ministry for Ecological Transition. The approval is a decisive impulse after years of waiting: the granting of water of the Junta de Andalucía It was granted from 2020but this process was missing, probably the most complex of all. The resolution, Published in the Official State Gazettealso imposes a package of environmental conditions with preventive, corrective and compensatory measures. The project advances, although it must still overcome additional authorizations before putting the first stone. Thus the Guájares Central will work. The proposal will be built in the municipalities of Vélez de Benaudalla, El Pinar, Los Guájares and Padul. The system is simple on paper: Water will be pumped from the Rules reservoir to a upper raft to release it in times of greater demand, generating clean electricity. The installation will have the capacity to produce 1,022 GWh a year, sufficient to supply hundreds of thousands of homes. The works will not be minor: it is expected to dig more than 246,000 cubic meters of material, 1.5 km pipes and an execution period close to five years. More than 400 million euros at stake. According to the economistBanco Santander advises the group in the search for investor partners who co -finance the work. The movement arrives at a key moment for the holding company: the group has reduced its debt from 1,500 to 120 million since 2017, after selling participations in Ohla, Ferroglobe and Fertial, and looks for projects with which to reinforce its financial repositioning. A controversy in progress. The project is not free of criticism. Deputy Granada Alejandra Durán, deputy spokesman for Andalusia and leader of Podemos, has shown her frontal rejection. According to Europa Presswarns of erosion risks and slopes of slopes, in addition to the possible condition of protected species such as the real eagle, the lost eagle or the grown vulture. Durán also alerts the felling of “thousands of trees, shrubs and native scrublands,” recalls that part of the affected land coincides with the soil on fire of the Guájares and accuses the administrations of prevailing private interests on the general interest. He even speaks of a “water theft” that would harm the farmers in the area. Spain and the urgency of storage. The debate is not exclusive to Granada. Spain already produces near Half of its electricity with renewablesbut the intermission of wind and solar forces to look for storage solutions. Pumping plants have become authentic “Hydraulic batteries”capable of saving surpluses to release them when they do the most. In October alone, this type of facilities generated 4,747 GWh, 10% more than in 2022. Although the installed power has barely grown in the last 15 years (3,337 MW), experts agree that the reversible pumping will be decisive to stabilize the system and contain light prices. Between need and resistance. The Guájares Central clearly reflects the tension of the energy transition: the urgency of guaranteeing storage against the environmental and social risks of this type of works. With the favorable day in his hand, now he has to decide if Villar Mir assumes the investment and makes Granada epicenter of renewables in Spain. The question is whether this great “water battery” will remain as a progress engine or as an example of the excesses of the energy transition.

Zamora and Ourense were only richer than the poorest provinces in southern Spain for pensions. And they are already losing them

by

The pension system (and above all Your sustainability in the medium and long term) it may be a challenge for the State, but it is also a important economic engine. Retirees generate employment. And move wealth. Its weight is relevant especially in certain provinces of Spain emptied and depopulated in which those over 65 years of age come More than 30% of the entire population. The problem is that some points of the Spanish geography face A worrying threat: lose that last (and crucial) source of income. The reason is very simple: they lose more pensioners than they win. Spain, increasingly old. Spain ages. The average age of the population It has been increasing Throughout the last decades and if nothing changes it will continue to do so (at least) mid -21st centurya drift that arrives accompanied by a widening of the cusp of the population pyramid. And for sample A button: If in 1998 there were 8.63 million people over 60 years old in Spain, in 2022 there were already 12.57 million, 26.5% of the total census. The great paradox. If there are more elderly, it is normal to think that there will be more retirees charging pensions. And it is so, although with certain nuances. As remember Javier Jorrín in The confidential The situation is not the same in all regions of Spain, just as it has not been its demographic drift over the last years. And that in practice can lead to a curious phenomenon: that in a country in full aging there are provinces that begin to lose pensioners. What is the reason? A peculiar Sorpasso. In some provinces there are already more elderly that exceed the life expectancy (81.1 years for them, 86.3 for them) that workers about to retire, a mismatch that invites you to think that in not much time they will begin to lose pensioners. There are three province in fact that they already face that peculiar situation: Lugo, Ourense and Zamora. In all the population over 83, it exceeds the one that moves between 60 and 64. Why does it matter? For several reasons. The number of pensioners in these provinces still grows and the Galician Statistics Institute esteem For example, at the end of the next decade, the population over 65 years in Lugo will have increased sensitively, but there are certain signs that suggest that this increase will end up reversing. In 2039 In the same Galician province there will be 26,800 people between 60 and 65 years against 40,108 over 80 years. Something more than demography. That there are territories of empty Spain that face the perspective of winning less retirees than they lose is not a simple demographic curiosity. Pensions have become a key piece of the Spanish economy, especially of aging and depopulated regions. A study Recent of the University of Castilla-La Mancha concluded, based on data from 2021, that pensions paid to over 65 years Rondan 8% of GDP and his expense promotes the equivalent of 1.2 million of full -time jobs. Household Pilar. A few years ago CCOO developed another report that also revealed its weight in Spanish homes. According to union calculations, one in five Spanish households (21.6%) already depend on an economic level, to a greater or lesser extent, on a retired pensioner. “There are four million homes whose person and reference is retired,” The study concluded. The reason for that percentage? Both the increase in households formed by adults and “the precariousness of the working conditions of people of working age”, which explains that they rely on the resources provided by their retirees. With that data on the table there are Who already points that pensions have become the great source of solidarity towards unpopulated regions. A country with nuances. To understand the figures you have to take into account several keys. And especially the context. The number of pensions in the whole of Spain It has been increasing progressively over the last years and everything indicates that this trend will not be reversed. In spring the airf estimates that the total expenditure on pensions will grow more than 4% annual until 2040 promoted in part by the revaluation based on the CPI, but also the increase of pensioners. The really important thing is how that already withdrawn population is distributed and especially how it will do it as the Boomersa cohort that once starred in internal migration from Spain emptied to large population centers. In fact, while there are regions and provinces that lose inhabitants about to retire (60-64 years) in others their number grows at a good pace. A third key factor is the amount of the amount of the pensions themselves.

How a decision in France and a connection in southern Spain caused the blackout

by

Huenaja, a small Granada town of just 1,100 inhabitants and with more than 700 megawatts installed of solar energy, It was the zero zone of the blackout of April 28. In seven seconds, everything It was plunged into a total collapse. Now the expert committee of the European Network of Transmission Systems Operators (Entso-E) has identified Two questions. The investigation. For more than six weeks, this European agency has worked to find the causes of the blackout, apart from the Electricity of Spain and its Portuguese homologous, Ren. According to the reporthalf an hour before collapse, two episodes of power and frequency oscillations were recorded in the European continental network. The Iberian Peninsula, connected to the continent mainly through lines with France, began to lose synchronism. A new detail. The ETSO-E has pointed out that at 12:16 and 12:22, there was a change in interconnection with France: a system with dynamic control (hiking of direct current) was passed to a fixed export mode of 1,000 MW to the Gallic country. According to the experts consulted, this decision left the Spanish system without support for synchronous power, which reduced its margin of action before oscillations. As a piece of dominoes. Almost in parallel, Ree made an internal connection of lines in southern Spain, which, According to Entso-ewould have caused surge located in areas such as Huenaja (Granada), Valdecaballeros (Badajoz) and Don Rodrigo (Seville). Several electrical plants then activated their automatic protections, disconnecting to avoid damage. This further aggravated the tension in the network, triggering a chain reaction: generation falls, frequency loss and total disconnection of the Iberian system of the rest of Europe. Was any system activated? System defense plans, automatic mechanisms designed to stop these processes, were activated, according to has confirmed The report. However, they were not able to contain the fall due to the speed and intensity of the event. At 12:18:47, the interconnection lines between Spain and France were disconnected by protection against the loss of synchronism. At that moment, the peninsula was isolated and collapsed completely. A major debate. This crisis has uncovered a great conflict at the technical and political level, while responsibilities They pass like a hot potato. The debate is intensified around the backup systems and the penetration of renewable energy. On the one hand, nuclear plants They were criticized For disconnecting, but three were in scheduled stop, and the others operated normally until the system collapsed, activating protection protocols. On the other hand, the lack of inertia of the system has been stated again. Not synchronous renewable energies, such as solar and wind, They do not contribute inertia to the electrical systemwhich makes it difficult to stop sudden frequency falls. However, blaming renewables would be to simplify excessively. However, the technical report is clear: it was not exclusive fault of renewables, but a systemic failure, aggravated by operational decisions and structural limitations such as low international interconnection. An interconnection problem. The blackout has evidence They have demanded France that is committed to concrete deadlines and binding actions to advance in electrical interconnection corridors. What comes now. The Entso-E expert panel continues their research and have created A web page for this. Now they will meet on June 23 and will be delivered to the European Commission. Meanwhile, the event leaves an awkward lesson: in an increasingly renewable and decentralized electrical system, technical coordination, The operational resilience and cross -border planning They are more crucial than ever.

Meteorologists have been warning that southern Spain would reach 35 degrees this Sunday. The Sahara had another idea

by

Sunday was going to be the key day: the moment when the country, after a very rare spring, was going to receive the first summer bars. By the south, Claro: Seville was directly at 35 degrees and Córdoba would not come down from 32. However, something has changed. Why was I going to make so much heat? For an old acquaintance, an anticyclonic dorsal that is installed on top of our heads and, without wind or clouds, makes temperatures begin to shoot: the Iberian oven. It is the same configuration that causes us the frequent heat waves that visit us every year. The dorsal will continue here, but its effect will be much less than expected. And the fault is a Dana. As the Dana that was in the Atlantic approaches the Portuguese coast, it will displace a huge tongue of Saharian dust that will enter the southern and southeast peninsular. As Nacho Espinos explained And as we have seen on other occasions, the suspension dust “reduces insolation and limits the values” that the thermometers can reach. That does not mean that it will not be hot. Of course it will be hot. Above all, if we compare them with the first two weeks of May. Not only can up to 32 degrees be found in the heart of the Guadalquivir Valley, but many parts of the country will be above 30 degrees. But the 35 degree psychological limit is not going to be achieved. And that the environment will be very murky. It is not necessary to remember that the abundance of dust in suspension, worsens air quality and can generate mild respiratory problems (from mucous irritation or nasal obstruction to itching in the eyes or dryness of the upper respiratory tract). In areas with a very strong calima complications can be greater. Above all, in people with previous ailments. According to The works of the University of La Lagunaup to “2% more people die from heart disease the two days of the phenomena of Calima.” What can we expect? A summer that does not end up landing, even if it is closer. That and A bad air quality. Above all, because to the extent that blockages in Europe continue, the arrival of storms, danas and cold storms can continue an almost indefinite time. That 2025 is strange We have it clear. How strange it will become, It is still to investigate. Image | Copernicus In Xataka | May is putting a March face: Aemet’s great question is if 2025 will definitely end the drought

There are more and more intrusions of Saharan dust in southern Europe. Now we know that fungi and bacteria are accompanied

by

Since 2021, Calima’s episodes They have been increasingly frequent and intense. In fact, in these few years, the intrusions of Saharian dust in Spain have doubled. We already knew that this was becoming A huge public health problem And that, at the same time, it was a key factor in fertilization of large areas of the planet. What we just discovered is, in addition to dust, there are many more things in that calima. How are “more things”? A joint research team of the Blanes Advanced Studies Center (CEAB-CSIC) and the Ecological Research and Forest Applications Center (CREAF) He has discovered that “bacteria and fungi from the soils of the deserts of North Africa occupy the skies of southern Europe continuously.” They do, in fact, “even long after the great injections of Saharian dust produced by the episodes of Calima.” Analyzing 30 years of rains. To discover it, researchers They have studied Rain samples between 1987 and 2014 and have compared the results with the soils of the deserts of North Africa. In addition, they have recreated the main atmospheric dynamics that are in charge of dispersing microorganisms globally. And this is important? The truth is that yes. Until now It was thought that the microbiota present in a specific ecosystem was basically derived from that ecosystem and its neighbors. Now we have experimental record that continental distances can travel without major problem. On a practical level, all this not only has an impact on soil fertilization, but also on the spread of antibiotic -resistant genes or allergies. Could it be that the growth of allergies among the population was linked to that growth in dust intrusions on the peninsula? The increasingly small world. During the last decades we have believed that new information and transport technologies have made the world smaller and smaller. And it’s true. What we did not know is that the world was already very small before all this. And that changes the preconceived ideas we had been handling. Therefore, it is getting clearer, that we will have to assume the complicated task of manage comprehensive all ecological systems of the earth. And we better be prepared to do it well.

Severe climate will cause rains with sudden floods in southern US

by

He southern United States It is under threat of severe climate For a storm system that is expected to move from southern California to Texas on Wednesday, causing rain and possible sudden floods. Santa Barbara County recorded the greatest amount of rain, with 2.23 inches, earlier this week, while Los Angeles recorded 1.62 inches and Santa Monica 1.38 inches. The west storm will reappear in the states of the southern plains late on Wednesday afternoon and during the night, with Possible severe climate in the center and north of Texas, including Dallas. In addition, this storm system will bring very strong rains and threat of sudden floods from Texas to western Kentucky, including Dallas, Texas; Little Rock, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee and Paducah, Kentucky. At the local level, some areas could see more than 4 inches of rain, which will cause sudden floods on Thursday, said ABC News. Winds and snow to the northern US Several fast -movement storm systems combined with the lake effect will bring strong winds and snow to parts of the great lakes and the northeast from today to Thursday. Early Tuesday, a snowstorm storm warning was issued for Syracuse, New York, where visibility was falling almost zero in some places. At least five states were this morning under snow and wind alerts from the west to the northeast. The most intense snowfall and the strongest winds will occur from northern Michigan to west of Pennsylvania and New York and northern New Englandwhere 30 cm of snow with wind bursts close to 96 km/h are predicted locally. In some of these most intense snow bands, bleaching conditions may occur. Further south and east, in the I-95 corridor, it is possible that they fall between 2.5 and 2.5 cm of snow from the Hudson Valley in New York to Connecticut and Massachusetts. Boston and Hartford could see snowfall.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with Animal Services officers, conducted an operation in Clements, Californiawhich resulted in the arrest of a woman after 27 dead horses were discovered on several properties. During the search, authorities found other horses alive, but in deplorable conditions and with restricted access to food and water, the sheriff’s office said, according to ABCNews. In this sense, the woman identified as Jan Johnson, a resident of Clements, was put behind bars and faces multiple charges, including animal cruelty, threats to a public official, criminal threats and possession of a short-barreled firearm. He is currently in custody at the San Joaquin County Jail. Some horses were rescued Meanwhile, rescue teams, along with veterinarians present at the scene, began a process of evaluating and classifying the surviving horses. After a detailed analysis, 16 horses were rescued and are now under the care of Oakdale Equine Rescue, where they will receive the medical and nutritional care necessary for their recovery. However, authorities reported that four horses and a bull had to be sacrificed due to being in a serious state of health. “We are committed to protecting the well-being of all animals in our community and will continue to investigate this matter.”declared the police officers. “Thank you to our officers and Animal Services team for their dedication and quick action in addressing this situation. “We would also like to thank Oakdale Equine Rescue for their incredible support in helping us with this rescue.” Meanwhile, the investigation continues, and additional assessments are being conducted on the property to determine the status of other animals that may be at risk.

Hughes Fire causes evacuation of 31,000 people in Southern California

by

Firefighters in Southern California are tackling the Hughes Fire, which continues to expand, which has forced the evacuation of thousands of people in the region and caused the evacuation of at least 31,000 residents. After starting on Wednesday, this fire has consumed more than 10,000 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), this fire is barely 14% contained, CNN reported. Located north of Santa Clarita, in the community of Castaic, the fire has led to the evacuation of around 31,000 residents, while another 23,000 have been advised of the possibility of evacuation, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. David Acuña, Cal Fire battalion chief, reported that, so far, no material damage or injuries have been reported. “As we progress through the day, we will be able to better evaluate the situation,” Acuña said. Red flag warning will be until Friday Meantime, The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning that will extend through Friday morning for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.. The combination of Santa Ana winds and extremely dry vegetation creates a high risk that new fires could emerge in the region. David Ortiz, spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department, noted: “The Santa Ana winds are blowing against this fire, so we had that in our favor.” However, firefighters are still working hard to make sure there are no hot spots left that could be revived by the wind. “We continue to expect some dry moisture and then possible wind gusts up to 60 mph.”Ortiz warned. “It’s very dry. Any spark can cause a new fire to start and spread quickly.” The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning that will extend through Friday morning for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The combination of Santa Ana winds and extremely dry vegetation creates a high risk that new fires could emerge in the region.
