Let’s have some Wednesday news!
Southbound I-5 is closed this morning, commuters! A semi truck full of empty wine bottles is to blame, and traffic is being rerouted. You can check for updates here.
The air is hot, and the water is warm. Know what happens in those conditions? Algae blooms!
I repeat: The water is warm. If you’re going to swim, be careful!
The water is warm, and it’s also scarce. Data released by NASA shows how the world is running out of water.
If the heat and the water don’t kill you, maybe these animals will. Good morning!
North Korea is hot too. Officials say the country is experiencing its worst drought in a century.
Job applicants, rejoice! The “ban the box” bill, preventing potential employers from asking about criminal history, is on its way to the governor’s desk for a signature.
Jeb Bush says he should be president because he ‘actually did things.’ I didn’t think anyone could beat Donald Trump’s, uhhhh, eccentric speech, but campaigning for the presidential bid gets stupider by the day.
Stupider, but entertaining, apparently. The Twitterverse loves Trump already; he’s guaranteed to be a quote machine during his absurd bid for the presidential nomination.
Obama’s free trade bill? It’s confusing, and even his allies are backing away from supporting it.
Awwwww, cute! Here’s a video of a baby octopus. It’s science about the cephalopods that will one day rise up and rule the world!:
It is my understanding of science that the amount of water on Earth has been pretty consistent over the last tens of thousands of years.
We lose about a swimming pools worth of water every year to the atmosphere, but water recycles continuously through our world.
Drinking water, well the lack of that really is only the fault of our species being pretty damned good at having babies.
