Los Angeles (AFP) - Des records saisonniers de température ont été atteints cette semaine dans l'ouest des Etats-Unis, touché par une vague de chaleur précoce et extrême. 44°C à Las Vegas et 50°C dans la Vallée de la mort ont ainsi été enregistrés jeudi par les services météorologiques américains. Il s'agissait du jour le plus tôt de l'année où le seuil des 44°C a été franchi à Las Vegas, dans le Nevada. A travers l'Ouest américain, de nombreuses autres villes ont battu leurs records saisonniers. Ces températures supérieures aux normes saisonnières sont causées par un système météorologique an...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Scorching temperatures broke early summer records in the western United States, before the region's first major heat wave of the year eased slightly Friday. Millions of people in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas have been under excessive heat warnings this week. While the region is accustomed to sweltering heat, climate change worsened by human activity has led to more extreme weather and the current heat wave has been historically early. Las Vegas recorded 111 degrees Fahrenheit (44 degrees Celsius) on Thursday, marking the earliest date in the year that t...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Pollution from California wildfires killed more than 52,000 people in a decade, a new study claimed Friday, as the western United States girds for a hot summer that could bring more blazes. Vast areas of forest and grassland are scorched every year in California and other parts of the country, causing millions of dollars of destruction and sometimes costing lives. But researchers say particulate matter released by the fires has a devastating effect on local populations that far outweighs the number of deaths directly attributable to them. A study led by Rachel Connolly of t...

Los Angeles (AFP) - La pollution émanant des feux de forêt en Californie a tué plus de 52.000 personnes en une décennie, rapporte une étude vendredi, alors que l'ouest des Etats-Unis s'attend à un été chaud, propice aux incendies. Les chercheurs ont établi que la pollution provenant des feux a un effet dévastateur sur les populations locales, dépassant de loin le nombre de décès directement attribuables à ces incendies. Cette étude, menée par Rachel Connolly de l'Université de Californie à Los Angeles, s'est concentrée sur l'impact des particules fines (PM2.5, 2,5 micromètres ou moins) libérée...

A verdant green forest has sprouted in one of Ukraine’s most unlikely locations — the Kakhovka reservoir left nearly empty after Russia blew up its dam last year. Following the destruction of the dam on June 6 last year, nearly 20 cubic kilometers of water flooded Ukraine’s four southern oblasts causing a massive humanitarian and environmental crisis. The vast reservoir, spanning an area nearly the size of London and New York combined, lost 90% of its water, causing water shortages for 700,000 residents. The environmental damage has been catastrophic with pollutants poisoning the soil and natu...
