Los humanos extraen tanta agua subterránea que ha alterado el eje de la Tierra, según un estudio

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:59:29 GMT

(CNN) — La insaciable sed humana de agua subterránea ha absorbido tanto líquido de las reservas del subsuelo que está afectando a la inclinación de la Tierra, según un nuevo estudio.Las aguas subterráneas proporcionan agua potable a las personas y al ganado, y ayudan a regar los cultivos cuando escasea la lluvia. Sin embargo, el nuevo estudio muestra que la extracción persistente de agua subterránea durante más de una década desplazó el eje de rotación del planeta, inclinándolo hacia el este a un ritmo de unos 4,3 centímetros al año.Este desplazamiento es observable incluso en la superficie de la Tierra, ya que contribuye al aumento global del nivel del mar, según informan los investigadores en el estudio publicado el 15 de junio en la revista académica Geophysical Research Letters.La extracción de aguas subterráneas es un factor importante en la inclinación del eje de rotación de la Tierra, según un nuevo estudio.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:59:29 GMT

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — In a game where offense was hard to come by, Mike Trout’s struggles at the plate stood out. With a chance to get a critical seven-game homestand off to a successful start, he still found a way to create a run, one that didn’t require swinging the bat. Trout scored on a game-ending wild pitch, Shohei Ohtani hit his 26th home run, and the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-1 on Monday night.“You know, I was grinding a couple at-bats, but just (wanted) to get on base and make things happen,” Trout said after sliding home head-first on the bad throw by Aaron Bummer. “That was a pitching battle, and (we) came out on top. That’s all you can ask for.”After having struck out in each of his first three appearances, Trout drew a leadoff walk against Reynaldo López (2-5). Bummer then came in to face Ohtani, who drew his own walk. The two Angels superstars successfully executed a double steal, which set up Trout’s heroics and the team’s ...

An ex-convict returned from war and a Russian village lived in fear. Then police say he killed again

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:59:29 GMT

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — When Ivan Rossomakhin returned home from the war in Ukraine three months ago, his neighbors in the village east of Moscow were terrified.Three years ago, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to a long prison term but was freed after volunteering to fight with the Wagner private military contractor.Back in Novy Burets, Rossomakhin drunkenly wandered the streets of the hamlet 800 kilometers (about 500 miles) east of Moscow, carrying a pitchfork and threatening to kill everyone, residents said.Despite police promises to keep an eye on the 28-year-old former inmate, he was arrested in a nearby town on charges of stabbing to death an elderly woman from whom he once rented a room. He reportedly confessed to committing the crime, less than 10 days after his return.Rossomakhin’s case is not isolated. The Associated Press found at least seven other instances in recent months in which Wagner-recruited convicts were identified as being involved in violent crimes, ei...

Reason the U.S. response to the Russia rebellion has been decidedly cautious

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:59:29 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the surface, the turmoil in Russia would seem like something for the U.S. to celebrate: a powerful mercenary group engaging in a short-lived clash with Russia’s military at the very moment that Ukraine is trying to gain momentum in a critical counteroffensive.But the public response by Washington has been decidedly cautious. Officials say the U.S. had no role in the conflict, insist this was an internal matter for Russia and decline to comment on whether it could affect the war in Ukraine. The reason: to avoid creating an opening for Russian President Vladimir Putin to seize on the rhetoric of American officials and rally Russians by blaming his Western adversaries.Even President Joe Biden, known for straying from talking points, has stayed on script.Biden told reporters Monday that the United States and NATO weren’t involved. Biden said he held a video call with allies over the weekend and they are all in sync in working to ensure that they give Putin “no excus...
