The photo was chosen both times and has been exhibited.Carlos lists himself as a photographer, which is why I chose to share it.He wrote back, asking if I’d ever heard of Photoshop.He then sent me his Photoshopped version of my photo along with an explanation of how he had “fixed” it.I didn’t respond.

Far from good. New study examines Georgia's air pollution from the space observations

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:49:57 GMT

Pollution from obsolete industries, heavy traffic, old vehicles and outdated heating threaten Georgian citizens. A new study (1) based on remote sensing of the Earth carried out by the European Union satellites in the Copernicus Programme, published in collaboration with the NGOs Arnika (Czech Republic), Green Pole (Georgia) and a company World from Space, recommends the steps to improve the environment of Georgia.“The satellite imagery shows that Rustavi is a key pollution hotspot of the country, probably due to its concentration of obsolete industries. Tbilisi is also heavily polluted, and an unregulated car traffic and insufficient public transport are among the main causes,” summarizes Jan Labohy, head of the World from Space research team. “Also, other big cities, mainly Gori, Kutaisi and Batumi, show increased pollution, probably due to the high traffic,” he adds. The study detailing the distribution of three pollutants (NO2, CO and particulate matter - PM10) over the ter...

Death Valley, the driest place in North America, has sprung to life with lakes and flowers after Hurricane Hilary

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:49:57 GMT

By Mary Gilbert | CNN MeteorologistCalifornia’s Death Valley is the hottest place in the world and the driest place in North America. But two months after Hurricane Hilary’s epic rainfall, parts of the national park look more oasis than desert.Parched ground turned to ponds, wildflowers are in bloom in remote areas and a salt flat is now a massive lake. The salt flat-turned-lake is an exceptional but fleeting sight to behold.“It is definitely a rare and special event,” Death Valley park spokesperson Abby Wines told CNN, only happening roughly once a decade.It’s all because Hilary unloaded a year’s worth of rain, 2.2 inches, on Death Valley in just 24 hours on August 20 – the wettest day in the park’s history. Until then, the park had never recorded more than 2 inches of rainfall in a single day, according to records that date to 1911.A visitor walks in the sprawling temporary lake at Badwater Basin salt flats in Death Valley National Park on October 21, 2023.
