Wild Weather, Oil Freeze, and Gasping for Air: A World in Crisis

A new winter storm is expected to form off the coast of the Carolinas on Saturday and could potentially intensify into a bomb cyclone, according to Time. The U.S. is still recovering from a brutal winter storm that swept across the country over the weekend, leaving dozens dead and knocking out power for over a million people.

Bomb cyclones are quickly strengthening storms characterized by a rapid drop in pressure, which can cause intense winter weather conditions such as blizzards, strong winds, and freezing temperatures, Time reported. While the coming storm is not anticipated to be as widespread or intense as the previous one, the exact location and type of weather it will bring remain unclear.

In other news, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Tuesday that her government has temporarily paused oil shipments to Cuba, NPR Politics reported. Sheinbaum described the pause as part of general fluctuations in oil supplies and a "sovereign decision" not made under pressure from the United States. The announcement followed inquiries about whether the state oil company Pemex had curtailed shipments.

Separately, Nature News highlighted the importance of lung health and the impact of air pollution. The article noted that humans cannot survive without breathing, and the lungs are essential for distributing oxygen throughout the body. However, the air we breathe is often contaminated by allergens, smoke, and other pollutants that can harm the lungs. Researchers are investigating the "exposome," or the environmental factors that a person is exposed to, to better understand these effects.

Nature News also reported on the health benefits of exercise, noting that even a little exercise can significantly reduce the risk of death from all causes and protect against conditions like coronary heart disease. Data from smart watches and wearable devices are revealing how sedentary people are and the harms of inactivity.

Meanwhile, in Mumbai, residents are finding ways to enjoy breathing space in the crowded city, NPR Politics reported. People are gathering on promenades like the one by Carter Road to enjoy the late-afternoon breeze.
