Lastly, here's some latest news from CNN-Cancer-causing chemicals The EPA on Monday banned the use of two cancer-causing chemicals that activists have been targeting for decades. The ban involves trichloroethylene, or TCE, a cancer-causing chemical that is common in manufacturing and can be found in water sources around the world, as well as all consumer uses and many commercial uses of perchloroethylene, or PCE, a solvent used in industries such as dry cleaning, manufacturing and auto repair. "It's simply unacceptable to continue to allow cancer-causing chemicals to be used for things like glue, dry cleaning or stain removers when safer alternatives exist," an EPA spokesperson said. Notably, rules passed in the final days of a presidential administration are subject to the Congressional Review Act, which would allow the incoming Senate to overturn the new regulations. |

| 2024 was the hottest year on record, breaching a critical climate goal and capping 10 years of unprecedented heat. It breaks the previous record set in 2023, and pushes the world over a critical climate threshold, according to new data from Europe's climate monitoring agency Copernicus. Scientists are still trying to fully understand why global heat has been so extreme for the past two years but the main driver is clear: the human-caused climate crisis, boosted by El Niño — a natural climate pattern that tends to have a warming influence. La Niña finally emerged this week and could bring wetter and cooler than average conditions in parts of the US. But future decades are still likely to be hotter overall as humans continue to burn planet-heating coal, oil and gas ( From CNN News). |
