EEUU es el país con más catástrofes climáticas y expertos aseguran que empeorará

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:07 GMT

Estados Unidos es el saco de boxeo de la Tierra para el mal tiempo.Se culpa a la geografía de que EEUU se vea afectado por condiciones climáticas extremas más intensas, costosas, variadas y frecuentes que en cualquier otro lugar del planeta, dijeron varios expertos. Dos océanos, el Golfo de México, las Montañas Rocosas, penínsulas que sobresalen como Florida, frentes de tormenta que chocan y la corriente en chorro se combinan para generar naturalmente el clima más desagradable.Eso es solo una parte. La naturaleza le dio una mala mano a EEUU, pero la gente lo ha empeorado mucho más por qué, dónde y cómo construimos, dijeron varios expertos a The Associated Press.Luego agregue el cambio climático y “abróchese el cinturón. Se esperan más eventos extremos”, dijo Rick Spinrad, jefe de la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica.

Which names are most commonly used in song titles?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:07 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Go, Johnny, go!A new study of popular music trends has determined “John” to be the most common name used in song titles, followed by Mary, Maria, Johnny and David.The study, commissioned by an online music-industry resource called Music Industry How To, pulled its data from a total of 2,262,292 different song titles included in roughly 1 million Spotify playlists. Analysts then determined the frequency of the names that most commonly appeared, excluding any track titles that didn’t use a potential ”name” as a proper noun. (For instance, Madonna’s “Ray of Light” would have been excluded, as it uses “ray” in reference to a beam of light rather than a person’s name.) What’s the most popular last name in Colorado? The study’s findings, however, were based solely on playlists created in Spotify, meaning the song titles analyzed — and therefore the most popular names in those titles — may be skewed toward Spotify users’ tastes.As of late 2022, more than half (51%) of Spotify...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Several major oil producing countries have joined Saudi Arabia in announcing surprise production cuts that could send world oil prices higher.
