It is indeed heartening to hear that the population of fin whales has rebounded and that there are now 1,000 of them in the wild. Fin whales were once hunted extensively and were on the brink of extinction, so their recovery is a testament to the importance of conservation efforts.

You’ll be forgiven if you were confused from the start of this first-person shooter, now available for PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows PC. The written directions (“Hold R1 + R1” on PlayStation) read like the sort of tip where you’re supposed to press two different buttons, and the NPC — who exists solely to justify the tutorial within the game’s tenuous fiction — tells you something to effect of “holding both of…

Thwaites, which is roughly the size of Florida, represents more than half a meter (1.6 feet) of global sea level rise potential. Scientists studying Antarctica’s vast Thwaites Glacier – nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier – say warm water is seeping into its weak spots, worsening melting caused by rising temperatures, two papers published in Nature journal showed on Wednesday.

Oh and Manchester City had scored three goals as they eased past Arsenal 3-1 on their way to the top of the table. But woe betide those who assume that this was a rerun of so many recent meetings between these two. This was not…
