Vice President Kamala Harris, during a campaign stop in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Monday, attacked former President Donald Trump, calling him “increasingly unstable and unhinged.” Harris used a new approach by showing clips of Trump calling his opponents the “enemy within” and stating that these comments reflected his erratic behavior. She emphasized that Trump would stop at nothing to claim power for himself, urging Americans to watch his rallies and listen to his words to understand his intentions if he were to be re-elected. Harris’s remarks are part of her campaign’s effort to expose Trump’s dangerous rhetoric as the race between them tightens.
Scientists successfully breed corals to improve their heat tolerance
Phys.org,
A team led by experts at Newcastle University’s Coralassist Lab has successfully bred adult corals to improve their heat tolerance, marking the world’s first effort to selectively breed adult corals for this purpose. The study, published in Nature Communications, showed that the heat tolerance of coral offspring improved after just one generation, although the improvement was modest in comparison to the intensity of future marine heatwaves expected under climate change. The research, conducted in partnership with several universities and institutions, underscores the need for rapid reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions to help corals adapt.
