Heat threatens global coffee supply, new analysis finds

Climate Central finds the world’s top five coffee producers now face about 57 extra days annually with temperatures above 30C, with El Salvador adding 99 hot days, Brazil 70 and Ethiopia 34, risking arabica yields; as prices for arabica and robusta surge, adaptation funding for smallholders remains woefully insufficient, prompting initiatives like Oromia’s energy-efficient stoves, while governments must scale climate action to safeguard future coffee supplies.

Crime 101: A LA Heist Throwback Fueled by a Star-Studded Ensemble

Rolling Stone’s 101 takeaways from Bart Layton’s Crime 101 frame a stylish Los Angeles–set jewel heist thriller that nods to Heat while delivering a high-profile ensemble (Hemsworth as the consummate thief, Ruffalo and Hawkins as weary cops, Berry as an underestimated insurer, and Barry Keoghan as a menacing new villain). The piece asimismo uses the film to comment on industry ageism and gender, praises the action and period-accurate needle-drops, and notes a finale that ties the threads while leaning on familiar crime-movie tropes. Amazon is giving the movie a theatrical release with a reported $93 million budget, marking a modern throwback that still feels fresh in its own right.

Melbourne Heat Forces Australian Open to Pause Outdoor Play and Close Roofs

Melbourne's extreme heat at the Australian Open triggered the Heat Stress Scale, forcing roof closures on the main show courts and pausing outdoor play. Jannik Sinner battled cramping against Eliot Spizzirri before a 10-minute cooling break was taken after the third set; Musetti and Machac paused on John Cain Arena and later finished under a roof, while Nosková's match on Kia Arena also paused due to the lack of a roof. Play was not expected to resume on outdoor courts until about 5:30 p.m. local time, with Sinner ultimately winning 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.

Australian Open moves Day 7 earlier and adds match to beat Melbourne heat

Facing a forecast of around 38°C (100°F), the Australian Open moved Day 7 to start at 10:30 a.m. on the main courts and added a fifth match on Margaret Court Arena, with roofs used on the big venues to provide shade and fewer singles on Kia Arena, which remains open to the elements, as organizers implement heat-management measures amid rising temperatures.

Heat Boosts Microplastic Shedding from Takeaway Coffee Cups

Heat Boosts Microplastic Shedding from Takeaway Coffee Cups

A new study shows heat is the main driver of microplastic release from takeaway cups: all-plastic cups shed more particles than plastic-lined paper cups, and hotter beverages increase particle release. The researchers found a 300 mL daily hot coffee in polyethylene could lead to about 363,000 microplastics ingested annually. While long‑term health effects remain uncertain, the findings suggest using reusable cups or cooler drinks to reduce exposure, and avoiding pouring boiling liquids into plastic-lined containers.

The Truth About Digging Through the Earth

The Truth About Digging Through the Earth

Drilling straight through the Earth is currently impossible due to extreme heat and pressure, with the deepest borehole reaching only about 12 kilometers, far from penetrating the Earth's crust or core. The immense temperatures and pressures at the Earth's interior would destroy drilling equipment and make such a project unfeasible with current technology.
