Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 04:44:21 GMT

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said the charges leveled against City Councilors Ricardo Arroyo and Kendra Lara have hurt the Council’s credibility, but stopped short of calling for their resignation.Wu said she plans to leave their fate to the voters, who will go to the polls Sept. 12 for the city’s preliminary election.“All of us are on the ballot,” Wu said Tuesday on GBH’s Boston Public Radio. “That is the highest form of accountability for all elected officials.”Arroyo, who represents District 5, is facing three challengers. Lara, who represents District 6, has two opponents.

Humans’ impact on the earth began a new epoch in the 1950s called the Anthropocene, scientists say

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 04:44:21 GMT

While there is evidence worldwide that captures the impact of burning fossil fuels, detonating nuclear weapons and dumping fertilizers and plastics on land and in waterways, the scientists are proposing a small but deep lake outside of Toronto, Canada — Crawford Lake — to place a historic marker.“It’s quite clear that the scale of change has intensified unbelievably and that has to be human impact,” said University of Leicester geologist Colin Waters, who chaired the Anthropocene Working...
