Hawaiian Airlines’ A330 aircraft are set to play a crucial role under Alaska Airlines’ ownership, with plans to expand non-stop services from Seattle to Europe starting in 2026. Alaska CEO Ben Minicucci emphasized the versatility of the A330, stating it will help the airline reach new markets that were previously inaccessible. Unlike Hawaiian, which focused on wide-body models on limited routes, Alaska is revitalizing the aircraft for long-haul missions beyond Hawaii. Alaska aims to optimize its international route network using the A330, which will be based in Honolulu but operate primarily outside of Hawaii, including recently launched routes to Tokyo…
On May 10, 2025, Extinction Rebellion (XR) and other climate groups held a mock funeral in Cambridge, England, for the Paris Agreement’s 1.5ºC temperature target.

Olympic gold medalist Etienne Stott pointed out the urgency for societal change to avoid critical climate tipping points. A recent peer-reviewed study…
An upcoming weather event will significantly impact the southeastern United States due to jetstreams from the Gulf of Mexico. The National Weather Service predicts extensive rainfall from Monday to Tuesday, potentially reaching 4-6 inches, with isolated areas seeing up to 12 inches. Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina are expected to be hardest hit. The weather phenomenon, known as Atmospheric Rivers, usually brings moisture from the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean but is now impacting regions typically less affected. Andrew Hazelton, an associate scientist, notes that such events can help alleviate droughts but also pose flooding risks. As…
The article discusses the author’s experience with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses during weekend bike rides. Initially a sacred escape, the rides became complicated with too much gear.

A recent study published at Kreis Fair reveals a surprising phenomenon in West Antarctica, where glaciers are rapidly “stealing” ice from their neighboring slow-moving counterparts, termed “ice pirates.” Utilizing Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite data, researchers tracked changes in ice flow over 17 years, challenging the long-held belief that such processes take centuries. Lead author Dr. Heather Cerry highlights that the Kohler East Glacier is accelerating and redirecting flow from the Kohler West Glacier, which is slowing down. This shift is attributed to differing thinning rates between the glaciers. The findings indicate significant dynamics in ice flow, affecting future projections of sea…
