'Newsweek' reports that this is the third time
in a week the planet has narrowly dodged
a direct hit from a coronal mass ejection (CME).
According to SpaceWeather, the CME is due to deliver a glancing blow to Earth on March 23.
.
While Earth may not be hit directly, the CME is expected
to energize Earth's auroras, the multicolored sky
phenomena known as the northern and southern lights.
.
'Newsweek' reports that CMEs have
the ability to disturb Earth's magnetic field
and cause issues with electrical systems. .
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center
(SWPC) issued a warning that there
could be weak power grid fluctuations.
.
Newsweek reports that similar
solar eruptions were reported on March 14,
then again on March 20 and 21.
.
The frequency of CMEs is dependent upon
where the sun is in its 11 year cycle.
.
3 near-miss CMEs in the span of a week isn't necessarily unusual at the height of solar maximum, but to happen now may be something of a statistical fluke, Martin Archer, a space weather researcher at Imperial College London's Department of Physics, via 'Newsweek'.
As the sun's activity ramps up over
the next few years, we can expect
more CMEs to be erupted both
in general and towards our planet, Martin Archer, a space weather researcher at Imperial College London's Department of Physics, via 'Newsweek'
Scientists Warn of , Climate Calamity , Following Hottest January Ever.
'The Guardian' reports that scientists have warned the
world is not prepared for coming climate disasters as
global warming continues to break temperature records. .
Following the hottest year ever recorded, marine
scientists have been shocked by prolonged, intense
temperatures at the surface of the world's oceans. .

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2024 has a one-in-three
chance of being even hotter than 2023. .
Higher global temperatures increase
the risk of both fires and flooding. .

In Chile, President Gabriel Boric has declared a two-day period
of national mourning following the country's deadliest
recorded wildfire which killed 120 people in the Valparaíso region.
In the United States, California declared
a state of emergency amid an "atmospheric river"
which has resulted in unprecedented amounts of rain. .
Fuelled by extreme weather
and climate extremes, the frequency
of climate-related disasters has
dramatically risen in recent years, Raul Cordero, climate professor at the University of
Groningen and the University of Santiago, via 'The Guardian'.

In some regions of the world,

Richard Betts of the Met Office’s Hadley Centre urged
global leaders to take action to reverse direction
on the world's path toward a climate calamity. .
We can still limit the extent to
which extremes get worse if we
urgently reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to net zero – but with
global emissions still rising, it’s hard
not to be increasingly concerned about
how we will deal with what’s coming, Richard Betts, Met Office’s Hadley Centre, via 'The Guardian'

Punxsutawney Phil , Does Not See His Shadow.
The weather-predicting groundhog did not see his shadow
on Feb. 2, anticipating an early spring, CNN reports. .
On average, Phil has been less than 40% accurate since 2013, according to NOAA's National
Centers for Environmental Information. .
But the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center has forecast above-average temperatures for February continuing into spring for much of the Northern U.S.
While many people might view these conditions as simply a mild winter, .
they could also be thought of as
indicative of an early spring.
This winter, every northern state had one of its warmest Decembers on record.
This winter, every northern state had one of its warmest Decembers on record.
For nearly three-quarters of the U.S., "winter has become the fastest-warming season," CNN reports. .
While winter technically ends
on March 19 at 11:06 p.m. ET.
warming trends suggest
Phil's prediction may come to fruition.

Cost of Easter Eggs Rises , As Climate Change Affects Crops.
Most of the cocoa that is used to make chocolate
is grown in West Africa where a heat wave has damaged crops and cut yields, BBC reports.
This has caused the cost of some
Easter eggs to increase by 50% or more.
According to the World Weather Attribution group, the high temperatures in West Africa "were made 10 times more likely" by human-induced climate change.
According to the World Weather Attribution group, the high temperatures in West Africa "were made 10 times more likely" by human-induced climate change.
The group's study determined that West Africa will experience severe heat waves close to every two years if action is not taken. .
El Niño was also found to have played a role, although "global warming is exacerbating those changes," BBC reports. .
Increasingly, climate change driven
by fossil fuel use is multiplying this natural
challenge in many regions. It fuels more
extreme conditions, devastates harvests,
and makes food costs higher for all. , Ben Clarke, an expert on extreme weather at the
Grantham Institute at Imperial College, via BBC.
Intense rains have also plagued West Africa,
leading to a fungal infection that rots cocoa beans. .
