2025 in Review: U.S. Billion-Dollar Disasters | Climate Central
In the US last year there were 23 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, adding up to a total of $115 billion in damages.
The database that tracks these costs used to be maintained by the federal government. It is now published by the climate research nonprofit Climate Central. https://cnn.it/49xRXDu
Earth has hit its first climate tipping point, scientists warn
Global scientists warn that humanity is on the verge of crossing irreversible climate thresholds, with coral reefs already at their tipping point and polar ice sheets possibly beyond recovery. The Global Tipping Points Report 2025 reveals how rising temperatures could trigger a cascade of system collapses, from the Amazon rainforest turning to savanna to the potential shutdown of the Atlantic Ocean circulation.

Students can learn basic laboratory techniques and practice methods used by lab technicians and researchers in a variety of careers, using specific food science lab processes.
Dissection 101: Dissection Resources for Classroom Use | PBS LearningMedia
Thank you for visiting the Dissection 101 Collection. The Dissection 101 series includes educational videos, lesson plans, quizzes, and other materials for many dissections — crayfish, clams, earthworms, and more! The resources were developed for many reasons, including reducing the number of specimens used by a class, increasing the quality of the dissection, and enhancing the learning experience for students. Select a category from the left column.
Complete the activities at your own risk - SDPB and PBS are not responsible for any accidents resulting from completing any of the activities.
