Nations gather for first-ever conference on fossil fuel exit

More than 50 nations are attending a world-first conference on phasing out fossil fuels in Colombia next week as the Iran war underscores how dependent countries remain on planet-heating coal, oil and gas.
Ministers arrive in the Caribbean city of Santa Marta against a backdrop of wartime fuel shortages, soaring prices and a scramble for energy security in what the International Energy Agency has called the biggest oil supply shock ever.
The gathering was born out of frustration with consensus-based United Nations climate talks,

When you pack a carry-on bag, you expect to bring it onto the plane with you. But more travelers are finding themselves stopped at the gate and told to check their bags – even when overhead bins don’t appear to be full.
I recently watched it happen in real time.
A woman with a designer carry-on – the kind that clearly wasn’t meant for a baggage carousel – was stopped just steps before the jet bridge. The gate agent told her the bins were full or nearly full, and her bag needed to be ch

Iran doubles down on closing the Strait of Hormuz as the ceasefire inches toward expiration

CAIRO (AP) — Iran doubled down on its pledge to restrict ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remains in place, as mediators scrambled to extend the ceasefire set to expire on Wednesday.
The dueling blockades have complicated Pakistani-led mediation attempts and raised questions about whether the two-week truce can be extended.

Wildfires used to 'go to sleep' at night. Climate change has them burning overtime

WASHINGTON (AP) — Burning time for North American wildfires is going into overtime. Flames are lasting later into the night and starting earlier in the morning because human-caused climate change is extending the hotter and drier conditions that feed fires, a new study found.
Fires used to die down or even die out at night as temperatures dropped and humidity increased, but that's happening less often. The number of hours in North America when the weather is favorable for wildfires is 36% higher than 50 year

Job Creation Likely Bounced Back In March, Continuing Up-And-Down Pattern

The U.S. economy is forecast to have added 59,000 jobs in March, partially recovering from the 92,000 jobs lost in February.
The job market has alternated between adding and losing jobs every month since last May, averaging out to slow job creation by historic standards.
The Iran war could be a further drag on jobs in the coming months, but the March report may be too soon to show any effects.
