The historic SS United States has reached the end of its journey at sea, sinking Wednesday off the coast of Destin, Florida, where it will begin a new life underwater as an artificial reef. The nearly 1,000ft American-made vessel, once the fastest ocean liner in the world, was launched in 1952 and made history by setting a transatlantic speed record during its maiden voyage. The ship carried thousands of passengers across the Atlantic over 17 years of operation before being retired in 1969. On Wednesday, the ship was deployed at approximately 2.40pm ET, with the sinking process beginning shortly before…

A coyote that California wildlife officials believed they had euthanized after it bit a toddler and menaced residential pets in a trendy Los Angeles neighborhood was seen alive recently, neighborhood residents said. Wiley, the name some Atwater Village residents gave to the coyote, had vexed the area with its increasingly aggressive and brazen behavior.

The vast, dark slicks in the strait of Hormuz are visible from space. Throughout October, oil tankers were struck by missiles or sea mines in the waterway and spilled crude into the sea. The pollution has spread across the Gulf, contaminating coastlines and threatening to cause lasting damage to marine ecosystems that are home to dolphins, sea turtles and countless species of fish. Eight months into the war between the US and Iran, one of the world’s busiest oil shipping routes has become a battlefield and the centre of a growing environmental disaster. The naval blockade of the strait has…
The world is heading for an “irrecoverable overshoot” of global temperature thresholds that will plunge billions of people into disastrous climate impacts because governments have stalled for so long to cut planet-heating emissions, analysis has found. Under current policies, the planet will heat up by 2.7C on average by the end of the century compared with preindustrial times, the report by Climate Action Tracker (CAT) found. This is up slightly from a prediction of 2.6C in the group’s analysis conducted last year. This level of warming smashes the 1.5C threshold that was agreed by countries a decade ago but is…
