Warm grain, chickpea and aubergine salad with saffron yogurt recipe

Warm grain, chickpea and aubergine salad with saffron yogurt recipe

Published by Sam Flores

Kamut, otherwise known as khorasan wheat, is an ancient grain. The grains are quite large (sometimes up to three times bigger than modern wheat) and have a buttery kind of taste that works well with really big flavours (harissa, preserved lemons, blush tomatoes, green olives), though you do have to soak it overnight before cooking. You can find kamut in wholefood stores or online. Or use spelt, farro or barley. Source link

After months of hibernating under blankets, in wooly socks, and snuggled up in dressing gowns, the warmer weather is here – or trying to be, anyway. And I don’t know about you, but the second a hint of mildness hits the air, I struggle to sleep in my winter pyjamas. I like to layer up, so having fewer clothes on my body doesn’t come naturally to me, and it takes a lot of convincing (read: a cute ’fit) to get me to change my routine up.

UK’s warm and dry April 1976 was a taste of scorching summer to come | Drought

UK’s warm and dry April 1976 was a taste of scorching summer to come | Drought

Published by Jenni Sidey

The weather in April 1976 was unusually pleasant. The Easter weekend, which fell in the middle of the month, coincided with a warm spell as an area of high pressure drifted towards the UK. Conditions in Scotland were unsettled but the rest of the country enjoyed sunshine and highs of 21C. There was very little rainfall in what is traditionally a showery month, with Plymouth receiving a record low of just 4mm. The 12-month period to April 1976 was the driest ever recorded. The warm, dry conditions were a foretaste of things to come. The summer of 76 was almost unbelievably hot. Grass parched and turned brown, tarmac softened and roads and runways developed ridges and cracked. Railway tracks buckled as the steel rails expanded. The lack of rain became serious, with a prolonged drought resulting in water rationing. In some places, standpipes in the streets replaced the domestic water supply, and water use restrictions forced some schools and business to close. In April, though, everybody expected that normal rain would resume shortly. The warm …

UK weather: ‘Unusually warm’ temperatures are on the way – but it isn’t good news for everyone | UK News

UK weather: ‘Unusually warm’ temperatures are on the way – but it isn’t good news for everyone | UK News

The UK is going from Storm Dave to sunny days – and could have the warmest start to April in six years. Temperatures could climb as high as 24C (75F) today and will be well above the average for this time of year in most parts of the country. Western parts of Wales are forecast to get the best of the weather, eclipsing the peak of 20.9C (70F) recorded in Worcestershire last week. Tomorrow is expected to be even warmer, but temperatures are expected to plunge to 10C to 13C (50F to 55F) as we head into Thursday. Check the weather forecast where you are Image: PA file pic All of this is a stark contrast to the Easter weekend, when Storm Dave’s 70mph winds caused widespread damage and disruption. Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said the weather is “unusually warm” as average temperatures should normally be about 15C (59F) in early April. He added: “The wind is coming in from a southerly direction, and with not many clouds around, it should be well above …

AI data centres can warm surrounding areas by up to 9.1°C

AI data centres can warm surrounding areas by up to 9.1°C

Published by skeptic

The number of data centres is rapidly increasing JIM LO SCALZO/EPA/Shutterstock Data centres built to power AIs produce so much heat that they can raise the surface temperature of the land around them by several degrees – creating so-called data centre heat islands that may already be affecting up to 340 million people. The number of data centres built around the world is forecast to rise enormously. JLL, a real estate company, estimates that data centre capacity will double between 2025 and 2030 – with AI expected to account for half that demand. Andrea Marinoni at the University of Cambridge, UK, and his colleagues saw that the amount of energy needed to run a data centre had been steadily increasing of late and was likely to “explode” in the coming years, so wanted to quantify the impact. The researchers took satellite measurements of land surface temperatures over the past 20 years and cross-referenced them against the geographical coordinates of more than 8400 AI data centres. Recognising that surface temperature could be affected by other factors, …

Weather: Met Office warns of London ‘cold plunge’ after warm spell

“While the early part of the period brings warm sunshine for many, it’s not unusual to see colder spells and even some wintry showers in March,” he said. “As we head into next week, a shift to a cooler north‑westerly flow will bring a drop in temperature and more unsettled weather, including some hill snow in the north and brisk winds at times.” Source link

Ice core reveals low CO2 during warm spell 3 million years ago

Ice core reveals low CO2 during warm spell 3 million years ago

Published by skeptic

The drilling site at Allan Hills in Antarctica where researchers extracted a 3-million-year-old ice core Austin Carter Bubbles in a 3-million-year-old ice core have allowed researchers to measure gases in the atmosphere during the late Pliocene for the first time. This epoch, when global temperatures are thought to have been around 1°C warmer than today and sea levels were as much as 25 meters higher, is often taken as a cautionary tale for our own time. But the levels of carbon dioxide and methane in the bubbles are much lower than today’s, which might mean Earth’s climate is more sensitive than we thought to small atmospheric changes. In some parts of Antarctica, snow accumulates each year on top of the last year’s snow and gets squeezed into layers of ice containing air bubbles, giving us a continuous record of the past atmosphere. Last year, the Beyond EPICA group extracted the oldest continuous ice record so far, stretching back over 1 million years. But scientists have also extracted even older ice in places where younger ice …

As Winters Warm, Falling Through the Ice Is Becoming More Common — and Deadly

As Winters Warm, Falling Through the Ice Is Becoming More Common — and Deadly

Published by Sam Flores

Elmer Brown was following two friends on his four-wheeler last November, hunting caribou across a frozen channel in northern Alaska when the ice gave way. All three plunged into the frigid water. One friend drowned, and Brown, 45, later died of hypothermia, leaving behind five children. “He was always helping other people and sharing his catch with the elders,” said his brother Jimmy Brown. “It’s been tough, not seeing him. I keep expecting him to walk in and tell me about his day.” The friends had ventured onto the ice to hunt caribou, under pressure to make the most of shorter and less reliable hunting seasons, Jimmy Brown said. It wasn’t the first time the family had lost someone to the ice. The Brown brothers’ father drowned in 1999 while seal hunting. They’re among thousands who have died on ice across the Northern Hemisphere in recent decades as warming winters make conditions thinner and less predictable for those who fish, hunt and recreate on frozen lakes, rivers and coastal waters. March and April are particularly …
