Elizabeth Shackelford: Nepal’s disaster is today’s terrifying climate change reality (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the morning of Aug. 26, a catastrophic flash flood traveled around 60 miles along the Nepal-Tibet border region, destroying bridges, buildings and a border crossing.

Elizabeth Shackelford: AI should be managed like nuclear weapons (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, the tech world was shaken by an event that sounded like a science fiction plot: Artificial intelligence agents escaped from their closed testing environment, accessed the open internet and hacked into another company’s system without human knowledge.

Read excerpt
America celebrated its 250th year of independence under a historic heat dome that shattered more than 148 records for daily high temperature across the Eastern United States. The nation’s capital recorded the hottest Fourth of July on record at 103 degrees.
