In a warming world, playground slides grow too hot for children, a jog becomes punishing for adults trying to get fit and an evening stroll feels unbearable for older adults. Climate change is exacerbating physical inactivity with dire consequences, driving potentially hundreds of thousands of premature deaths worldwide by 2050, according to a study published Monday in Lancet Global Health. The research adds to an emerging body of scientific literature scrutinizing the far-reaching health effects of rising temperatures driven by greenhouse gas emissions. While researchers have been able to document how climate change kills people directly — with workers succumbing
March 17 (Reuters) – Iran launched fresh attacks on the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, the kind of retaliatory strikes on U.S. Gulf allies that President Donald Trump said had not been expected, but which sources said he had been warned about before the conflict. The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is in its third week with at least 2,000 people dead and no end in sight. The critical Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed off, with U.S. allies rebuffing Trump’s request for help to reopen the critical waterway, raising energy prices and fears of inflation. There was no let-up in

But that does not mean I am all in on AI – nor am I anti-AI. I am pro-learning. As my co-authors and I argue in a forthcoming book on realizing the promise of higher education, even the most powerful tools
ATLANTA, March 17, 2026 (AP) — Hundreds of flights were canceled or delayed Tuesday, one day after powerful storms swept across the eastern half of the country and upended air travel in a cross-section of cities. Travelers have been facing additional jams at airport security checkpoints as a partial government shutdown strains screener staffing. The disruptions come at an already challenging time for air travel, in part because the shutdown that began Feb. 14 has pressured staffing at some security checkpoints. At the same time, airports are crowded with spring break travelers and fans heading to March Madness games, the
