It’s rare for the New York Times to acknowledge that a take is so bad that they changed the headline but they did for this one.

Original headline followed by new one.

Why can't this be done in North America, Canada especially!!!

I really struggled with the icing for my gingerbread barn and it accidentally became a gingerbread slaughterhouse.

A new European heatwave dubbed Nero has raised the temperature above 0C at all of Italy’s glaciers, hastening their disappearance, and set a record for high-altitude heat in the Swiss Alps.

A weather balloon launched from Payerne in Switzerland registered the “zero-degree line” — the altitude at which the temperature falls to zero — at 5,298m, beating a previous record of 5,184m set last year.

A Giant Black Hole Destroyed a Star and Threw the Pieces into Space

A pair of X-ray telescopes have observed the messy aftermath of a star that came too close to a supermassive black hole 290 million light-years away. It's believed that the star had three times the mass of the Sun, so this was one of the largest tidal disruption events ever seen. Although the black hole consumed some of the star, most of its guts were thrown into the surrounding space, polluting the region with the chemicals that allowed astronomers to estimate its stellar mass.

Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.

Please don’t try and force your communication preferences on others.

"How wealthy "super emitters" are disproportionately driving the climate crisis — while blaming you" by @MatthewRozsa for @Salon https://www.salon.com/2023/08/22/how-wealthy-super-emitters-are-disproportionately-driving-the-climate--while-blaming-you/

This summer’s floods have ransacked cities from Slovenia to India, while Iran, Spain, & elsewhere broil in record heat.
Experts agree: super-hot summer has morphed into a planetary crisis bc of human-made CC, created largely by: burning of FFs. The dry conditions on Maui & the Canadian forests, the record ocean temps. that topped 100 off FL, & the thermometer readings are all triggered by our own carbon pollution, the kindling for these weather disasters🚨. #ClimateCrisis https://www.inquirer.com/columnists/attytood/manchin-climate-change-fulton-county-jail-trump-20230822.html
