STORY: :: Location: Cairngorms National Park, Scotland:: Date: September 4, 2024:: This patch of snow in Scotland is a tellingsign of climate change according to experts:: The 'Sphinx' patch only melted 3 times in the20th century but 2024 will be its fourth in a row:: Snow patch researcher, Iain Cameron“So this is really one of the very few pieces of snow left in the whole of the UK. Scotland only has a couple of patches left and this is one of them. And really, this is the closest thing that Scotland has to a glacier.”"‘The Sphinx’ itself, it's actually quite a bit smaller than it was even when I visited at the weekend. It's lost about a third of its size. It now measures five meters by five meters by about a meter of depth, and it's far smaller for the time of year than I would expect it to see. And that's been the pattern for the last, really the last few years. In days gone by, you could have expected this to be 34 or even 50 meters long at this time of the year."“This patch of snow only melted three times in the 20th century, remarkably. But what we're going to see this year, 2024, it is going to melt for the fourth consecutive year. And that, for me, is a real indicator of what the way the climate is doing, things are changing.”Standing by the small patch of ice in the heart of Cairngorms National Park in Scotland, expert Iain Cameron said this was the closest thing the UK has to a glacier and "in days gone by, you could have expected this to be 34 or even 50 meters long at this time of the year. So it's really suffering," he said.'The Sphinx' is a remnant of the last Ice Age, Cameron said, and has been closely monitored since the 1800s.Once considered an unyielding staple of the landscape, its current predicament signals a dramatic shift in the climate. "From something that was deemed permanent, it's now going to be the exception that it survives. And that's an incredible turn of events,” Cameron said.Cameron is the author of 'The Vanishing Ice' and a snow patch researcher whose findings are published annually by the Royal Meteorological Society.

The family placed flowers by a pair of weathered cowboy boots, as people quietly gathered for the memorial of the soft-spoken tribal chairman who mentored teens in the boxing ring and teased his grandkids on tractor rides. Left unsaid, and what troubled Marvin Cota’s family deep down, was that his story ended like so many others on the remote Duck Valley Indian Reservation. Until recently, a now-razed U.S. maintenance building where fuel and herbicides were stored — and where Cota worked — was thought to be the main culprit.
Ukraine's air force said on Monday it shot down six out of eight Russian-launched drones and two out of three missiles during an overnight attack over four Ukrainian regions. Russia has launched hundreds of missiles and drones to attack Ukraine in the past weeks, prompting Kyiv to reiterate to its Western allies the urgent need for air defence and long-range strike capacity to repel the attacks. On Monday, the air defence shot down aerial targets in the Kyiv region with debris causing two fires in open areas which have since been put out, the regional authorities said.
On Sunday morning of last week, Lynn O'Connor took her two dogs and her neighbour's dog for a walk, as she often does, on her rural property near Washington state's Kettle Falls. The dogs took off, chasing something in the distance, but she couldn't quite see what."I thought it was cows," she told Daybreak South host Chris Walker. It was not cows. It was a black bear. And she was about two metres away from it."She was coming at me swiping and huffing, and she had her shoulders really big and her

The amount and proportion of the powerful heat-trapping gas methane that humans spew into the atmosphere is rising, helping to turbocharge climate change, a new study finds. Tuesday’s study finds that in 2020, the last year complete data is available, the world put 670 million tons (608 million metric tons) of methane in the air, up nearly 12% from 2000. An even more significant finding in the study in Environmental Research Letters was the source of those emissions: those from humans jumped almost 18% in two decades, while natural emissions, mostly from wetlands, inched up just 2% in the same time.

Japan's controversial dolphin hunting season has begun, despite opposition from around the world. The hunt, which started last week and lasts about six months off the coast of Taiji in Wakayama Prefecture, could result in hundreds of dolphins killed for meat or taken into captivity. Dolphin Project, a California-based non-profit organisation, argues the hunting of any species en masse is "troubling for environmental reasons".
