The extreme heatwave in Mexico is not only affecting the environment, it's wreaking havoc on the howler monkeys and causing them to fall dead out of trees, the Associated Press reported.  "They were falling out of the trees like apples. They were in a state of severe dehydration, and they died within a matter of minutes," wildlife biologist Gilberto Pozo described what he witnessed to the AP.  In the city of Tecolutilla, Tabasco state, it was reported that...

Hamas is getting just what it wanted. On Tuesday, IDF tanks entered the heart of Rafah, inevitably causing more Palestinian civilian casualties and deaths.  Savagely, Martyrs Inc. is open for business in Rafah — exactly as intended by Hamas and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sponsors in Tehran and overlords in Moscow. Mohammed Deif and Yahya Sinwar have never sought to govern Gaza. Rather, they have plotted to turn it into a land of futile martyrdom in their...

Mexico has been consuming record amounts of electricity and occasionally more than its utility infrastructure can generate and transmit, official data showed, as scorching heat raises the likelihood of power outages. In the late afternoon on Monday, Mexico consumed 51,595 megawatts of electricity across the country, grid operator CENACE recorded. When demand exceeds supply, the country becomes much more prone to outages. With some widespread outages so far this year and...

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters that the military operations that Israel has so far conducted in Rafah have not been as large-scale as the ones it has carried out in central or northern Gaza. The...

An Israeli strike killed dozens of people sheltering in the city of Rafah on Sunday evening. The strike hit an area that Israel had designated a safe zone, and the attack came just two days after the International Court of Justice on Friday ordered Israel to “immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah.”  More than seven months after Israel launched its war on Gaza to destroy Hamas and free the hostages captured in the group’s brazen attack Oct. 7, all eyes have been focused on the...

A prolonged and deadly heat wave in Mexico, one of the most extreme the country has faced, shows little sign of easing and is oozing into the United States, where it has already set records and fueled violent storms. The heat has been breaking records in Mexico since early May. Many Mexican states have observed their highest temperatures on record, while more than 80 percent of the country is also enduring drought. Mexico City has set all-time record highs on multiple occasions,...
