Why the US-China chip war is heating up

© Provided by The Edge THIS past week, a new space plane prototype flew on a test flight from Jiuquan Satellite Center in the Gobi Desert, landing back on Earth on Sept 6. US satellites caught the landing and part of its journey.

With global heating, expect inferno seasons in the American West

A firefighter battles the Creek Fire in Madera County, Calif., which has burned more than 175,000 acres. (Noah Berger / Associated Press)More than 3.1 million acres have burned in California this year — some 3% of the state — with many wildfires still at zero containment and months of fire season left to go. This far exceeds the previous record set in 2018, when 1.7 million acres burned, including the town of Paradise.These raging fires, some exacerbated by the blistering heat last weekend, are the direct result of climate change. The planet is currently 1.0°C to 1.2°C (about 2°F) hotter than it ought to be. This excess heat is entirely due to humans, mainly from burning fossil fuels and destroying forests.

Arctic heating so much a ‘New Arctic’ climate will soon begin – study | Science | News

Thanks to climate change, the Arctic heats at almost twice the rate of the rest of the world, excluding Antarctica.

Sask. schools should use federal funding for masks, ventilation and heating costs: experts

The federal government has committed nearly $75 million to Saskatchewan to help school divisions prepare for the return to class. There are many ways that money could be spent, but experts say high-quality air ventilation should be a top priority. "The ventilation is my big worry.

A portion of the money will be given out this fall, with the rest expected in 2021.
