☆ First ever sighting of newborn great white reported
  + stars: | 2024-01-29 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —Drone footage shot off the coast of Southern California may have revealed the first ever glimpse of a newborn great white shark in the wild. Adult great white sharks are gray on top and white underneath. “I believe it was a newborn white shark shedding its embryonic layer.”The case for the baby great white sightingWhile in utero, embryonic sharks feed on unfertilized eggs for protein. If their assessment is correct, it’s the first time that a newborn great white shark has been observed in the wild. In addition, other researchers have suggested this location off the coast of central California is a birthing ground for great white sharks.

☆ Artificial Intelligence Can Make Companies Greener, but It Also Guzzles Energy
  + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Nuha Dolby | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +9 min
Artificial intelligence can help tackle climate change, but to fulfill that promise companies need to find a way to limit AI’s own climate impact. Alphabet’s Google and American Airlines used AI to help planes create fewer vapor trails, which contribute to global warming. For many companies using AI there are both positive and negative effects on their carbon emissions and water use. In the U.S., where there is no central electric grid, training models in one state versus another can have a significant impact on carbon emissions. A Google data center in Oregon.

☆ California professor accused of faking Native American ancestry reaches agreement to resign
  + stars: | 2023-08-28 | by ( Cheri Mossburg | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —An ethnic studies professor who was accused of claiming to be Native American has agreed to part ways next year with the University of California Riverside following a complaint filed by colleagues, documents show. The separation agreement makes clear that Smith “denies and disputes all allegations contained in the complaint.” CNN has reached out to Smith for further comment. “The nine-page separation agreement will bring a negotiated end to Professor Smith’s employment with the university,” university spokesperson John Warren said in a statement. Earlier this year, another California professor issued an apology for claiming to be Native American. Hoover remains part of UC Berkeley’s faculty.

☆ Earth-size exoplanet may be covered in volcanoes
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Instead, the exoplanet, called LP 791-18 d, is likely covered in volcanoes and may experience eruptions with the same frequency as Jupiter’s moon Io, the most volcanically active place in our solar system, according to researchers. LP 791-18 d is located about 90 light-years from Earth in the Crater constellation, where it orbits a small red dwarf star. And astronomers believe the massive planet LP 971-18 c might be contributing to the newly detected exoplanet’s possible volcanism. As the two objects orbit their star, LP 971-18 c and the newfound exoplanet LP 791-18 d closely pass each other, allowing the gravitational pull of the larger planet LP 971-18 c to tug on planet d and reshape its orbit. The discovery of LP 971-18 d points to the importance of data collected by space telescopes.
☆ A plan to tax the rich to fund electric cars is on the ballot in California
  + stars: | 2022-11-08 | by ( Peter Valdes-Dapena | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —California has long been a leader among states, and even countries, in promoting a shift to electric cars, including with its plans to ban the sale of purely gas-powered cars by 2035. Opponents of the ballot initiative claim it’s really just an attempt by one tech company to benefit itself at the expense of other priorities. Opponents of the ballot initiative claim Lyft’s support is self-serving. But a rule like Prop 30, which would make it easier for just about anyone in California to buy an electric car, including Lyft drivers. And electric cars are too expensive for lower income residents to afford, so the financial support is needed, especially with sales of gas cars being banned in the future.
