On Sunday 16 November, Chileans will go to the polls to elect President Gabriel Boric successor, who has been barred from running for immediate re-election under the constitution. The vote comes amid deep political polarisation and with security emerging as the primary concern for citizens, pushing economic and social issues that dominated previous elections into the background. For decades, Chile was considered one of the safest countries in Latin America. And while its homicide rate— 6 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2023, according to the World Bank – remains low by regional comparison, the country has faced a steady increase in…

The world’s climate leaders are conceding that Earth’s warming will shoot past a hard limit they set a decade ago in hopes of keeping the planet out of a danger zone. But they’re not conceding defeat. United Nations officials, scientists, and analysts are pinning their hopes on eventually forcing global temperatures back below the red line they set in the 2015 Paris Agreement, which sought to limit warming to 1.5°C since preindustrial times. Busting that limit and then coming back down is called “overshoot.” In the way climate science uses the term, it doesn’t mean zooming by a red line…

Residents in northern China witnessed rare auroras on Wednesday evening as a strong geomagnetic storm peaked during a period of high solar activity. In Beijing, pale pink and green lights appeared around 19:00 and drifted across the sky for about 20 minutes. People in Huairou and Yanqing shared images of the display.
