Most stories about climate change focus on the environmental effects, such as flooding in Venice s Saint Mark s Square and extensive droughts along the West Coast. But Benmarhnia and other researchers are now learning that the changing climate is having immediate and direct effects on our health and will continue to affect us for years to come. The real challenge with studying the health impact of climate change is that there s so much uncertainty, said Benmarhnia, now associate professor at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science and at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. That makes it difficult to predict what, exactly, the health effects will be and makes it hard to convince people that this is an important issue and that actions need to be undertaken right now.

HAWTHORNE (CNS) - The Hawthorne-based SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour is expected to dock at the International Space Station this morning becoming the first such mission involving a previously used spacecraft and rocket.
Endeavor s four astronauts were successfully launched into orbit early Friday after poor weather conditions led to a one-day delay.
“3.. 2.. 1.. and liftoff! Endeavour launches once again, NASA tweeted just after 2:49 a.m., as the rescheduled launch came off on time and without any problems.
“Four astronauts from three countries on Crew-2, now making their way to the one and only @Space Station.

SAN DIEGO Driving an electric vehicle and turning to alternative energy sources such as solar power are steps scientists say can help slow climate change. But researchers say there are also some potential climate solutions found in nature. A researcher in San Diego, along with an environmental nonprofit, is trying to figure out just how well wetlands can clean up the atmosphere and capture carbon.
The Formosa Slough in San Diego is part of the estimated 10% of wetlands left in the entire state of California. It s the location of an ongoing research project.
