MEXICO CITY, June 12, 2026 (AP) — The opening match of the World Cup delivered a rarity in international soccer: three players sent off with red cards. No World Cup match has had that many players ejected since a 2006 game between Portugal and the Netherlands, when four players received red cards — a World Cup record.

Climate change makes once-rare coastal floods more likely, study says

Extreme floods that once swamped coastal communities only rarely are becoming far more common as climate change caused by humans pushes sea levels higher, according to new research published Wednesday. Experts say the findings are crucial for making plans about floods and coastal infrastructure as the planet warms. These big coastal floods happen when high tides and storm surges — the amount above normal tide level — combine with seas that are already rising.
