The scientists analyzed nine interlinked “planetary boundaries,” which they define as thresholds the world needs to stay within to ensure a stable, livable planet. A ‘stark warning’Crossing planetary boundaries does not mean the world has reached a disastrous tipping point. As humanity crosses planetary boundaries, our “bank balance” is going down, she said. The significance of the planetary boundaries model is that it doesn’t analyze climate and biodiversity in isolation, the report authors said. This report is the third update on the planetary boundaries framework.

☆ Super typhoon Saola threatens northern Philippines
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-27 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

MANILA, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Tropical storm Saola has intensified into a super typhoon, the Philippine weather bureau said on Sunday, raising the possibility of heavy rain and powerful winds hitting important rice and corn growing areas in northern provinces. Heavy rainfall was expected later on Sunday and on Monday in the provinces of Isabela, Cagayan, Ilocos and the mountainous Cordillera region, raising the risk of flooding and landslides, the weather bureau said. Saola was also expected to affect provinces on the main Luzon island as well as the capital, Manila, over the next three days, it said. Last month, strong winds and rain lashed the northern Philippines as powerful typhoon Doksuri made landfall, causing rivers to overflow and leaving thousands without power. Saola was forecast to turn north on Monday and to make landfall over southern Taiwan late on Wednesday or early Thursday, the weather bureau said.

Vail ’s tourism industry is the economic driver in Colorado’s Vail Valley, but Edwards, ZIP Code 81632 and about 15 miles west of Vail, has the area’s priciest residential real estate as ranked by median listing price, according to Realtor.com. ( News Corp , owner of The Wall Street Journal, also operates Realtor.com under license from the National Association of Realtors.) It is bested only by Woody Creek and Snowmass, both in the same area as Aspen, and Telluride. An unincorporated Rocky Mountain community in Eagle County, Edwards has a locals’ vibe with a busy downtown along the Eagle River. Driving Edwards’s real-estate market up are Cordillera, a 7,000-acre gated community with more than 800 homesites, and Arrowhead Village, with access to Beaver Creek Resort.
