Rest of hurricane season in ‘uncharted waters’ because of El Niño, record ocean temperatures

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:41:11 GMT

(CNN) — Experts fear an already active hurricane season could come to an eventful and exceptional end as unusually warm, storm-boosting ocean temperatures and a slow-to-emerge El Niño combine.The Atlantic season and its 18 named storms has already been above average, according to Phil Klotzbach, a hurricane researcher with Colorado State University.But October usually signals changes in activity and the areas where storms form. The first half of October is typically the final stretch of the busiest time of the Atlantic hurricane season.The number of storms usually begins to drop off quickly toward the end of October and craters by the time the season ends on November 30.Storms that do form typically do so in areas that are much too close for comfort – in the Gulf of Mexico, near the Bahamas and the western Caribbean – rather than in the open Atlantic, where storms like Category 5 Hurricane Lee formed earlier this year.This means places like Florida, which was devastated by Category ...

Biden calls allies amid concerns over support for Ukraine

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:41:11 GMT

President Joe Biden convened a call with world leaders Tuesday, the White House said, in an effort to reassure allies about U.S. support for Ukraine after Congress passed a short-term government funding bill that did not include aid for the warring country.The call comes amid concern from the Pentagon about dwindling resources available to send to Ukraine as the country looks to drive Russian forces out of its territory. The Defense Department still has $5.4 billion worth of weapons available to send to Ukraine, but is fast running out of money to replenish its own stockpiles.Leaders of several countries joined the call with Biden Tuesday, according to the White House, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, and U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna also joine...

Revealed: Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak seek UK/US trade pact before 2024 elections

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:41:11 GMT

LONDON — President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak are preparing a “foundational” U.S. / U.K. trade agreement designed to be wrapped up before both men face re-election next year, documents leaked to POLITICO show.The negotiations are scheduled to start this month with the initial set of chapters wrapped up by spring of next year, according to a draft plan prepared by the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) office in late August.The outline deal set out in the papers does not contain the market access commitments required for a formal free trade agreement in the eyes of the World Trade Organization. But the proposed agreement would go much further than anything considered in public so far, with USTR proposing to deal with thorny issues like agriculture across 11 chapters which also include labor right, the environment, supply chains, regulation of services, digital trade documents and others.“We’re discussing and considering a range of things, but all is very much i...

Britain’s Tories are raging against 15-minute cities

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:41:11 GMT

This article is part of POLITICO’s Global Policy Lab: Living Cities, a collaborative journalism project exploring the future of cities. Sign up here.LONDON — In the push to close a yawning polling deficit, Britain’s Conservatives have conjured an unlikely nemesis: easily accessible amenities.15-minute cities are an urban planning concept designed to ensure day-to-day services like banks, pharmacies and supermarkets are all within a 15-minute walk or cycle of residents’ homes.Advocates argue such planning improves public health and wellbeing, and can help the environment by cutting dependency on vehicles.But the governing party — facing a bruising election next year — leapt on opposition in a bid to show it’s on the side of motorists. In doing so, some observers fear it’s playing right into the hands of conspiracy theorists — and may not scoop up votes, either. “This language is lifted directly from the conspiracist movement. It is hard to see who it...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:41:11 GMT

Donald Trump ‘s campaign is calling on the Republican National Committee to cancel all remaining presidential primary debates, saying the RNC must instead “refocus its manpower” on defeating Joe Biden next year.In a statement late Monday, top Trump advisers also repeated debunked falsehoods about election fraud, claiming without evidence that Democrats are working to steal the 2024 election. Trump has maintained that the 2020 election was stolen, despite multiple legal cases, investigations and his own attorney general finding no fraud.In their statement, senior campaign advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita say the November debate in Miami and all future debates should be canceled.“Anything less, along with other reasons not to cancel, are an admission to the grassroots that their concerns about voter integrity are not taken seriously and national Republicans are more concerned about helping Joe Biden than ensuring a safe and secure election,” they said.The former president and f...
