Panama Canal and his expansionist declaration that the United States should own Greenland signals that the incoming U.S. president will pursue a foreign policy unbound by diplomatic niceties.

(Bloomberg) — Donald Trump hinted he still wants to buy Greenland, a self-ruling territory of Denmark, saying that US ownership and control of the island is an “absolute necessity” for national security.

Donald Trump had claimed that Canada should become US' 51st state, rather than an independent country, a statement that has brough in a lot of criticism from Canadian leaders and citizens. Meanwhile, with Trump coming to power in January, there are high chances that the United States may indulge in some major land purchasing deals, and expand its territories further.

About 45 kilometers from the landslide on Ella Island, the tsunami also caused damage to a distant landmark. Waves at least thirteen feet high struck the island, which is frequented by Danish military personnel and scientists. Fortunately, no one was there when the accident happened, even though cruise ships had only been in the region a few days earlier.

total Solar Eclipse is scheduled to take place on April 8, 2024. This rare astronomical event occurs when the moon moves between the Earth and the sun, causing a shadow to fall on certain parts of our planet. During such occurrences, there are various cultural beliefs and customs surrounding eclipses, including dietary practices during Surya Grahan. Although this upcoming Solar Eclipse won't be visible in India, it will be observable in countries like Canada, the US, UK, Russia, Norway, Ireland, Greenland, Spain, and nearby regions. According to Indian Standard Time (IST), the Solar Eclipse is expected to begin at 9:12 pm on April 8, 2024, and end at 2:22 am on April 9, 2024. In Indian traditions, it is advised to be cautious during Surya Grahan, especially for pregnant women, as this period is believed to be potentially harmful for them. Fasting during solar eclipses is a common practice across many cultures, seen as a way to purify oneself spiritually. Fasting is believed to cleanse the body and mind, allowing individuals to engage in prayer, meditation, and introspection during this sacred time. Those who choose to fast may opt for simple, easily digestible foods such as fruits and nuts or consume only water.

An international team of more than 200 researchers identified 26 natural processes or features at risk of being suddenly and irreversibly disrupted by climate change, including ice sheets, tropical rainforests, mountain glaciers, ocean currents and coral reefs. They found that the mass death of warm-water coral reefs is likely at current levels of warming (1.2C), while four other processes — the collapse of Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, disruption of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre circulation and abrupt thawing of permafrost regions — are considered possible. The researchers also identified positive tipping points, including rapid improvement in battery technologies as electric cars become more popular — a development that could in turn could make the widespread use of renewable energy easier. The report is a “tale of two future paths for humanity,” lead author Tim Lenton, a professor of climate change and earth system science at Exeter’s Global Systems Institute, said in a press briefing.

Polar bear numbers in Greenland have been declining over the last 20,000 years, according to an international study that analysed their genetic material, food choices, and habitat along with historical climate data. Rising sea temperatures are driving the decline in the polar bear population, a team of researchers, including from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, said in their study. «When the sea temperature rises, there is less sea ice, and consequently, fewer seals, which polar bears feed on,» said Michael Westbury, assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen and lead author of the study, which was published in the journal, Science Advances. The team found that small environmental changes significantly impacted polar bear numbers. «A relatively small increase in water temperature and a small reduction in the amount of sea ice result in a quite dramatic decline in the polar bear population.
