内容摘要：Scientists say greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal have already locked in enough global warming to doom many of the world’s glaciers — which already have retreated significantly.

Mexico considered measles eliminated in 1998. But its vaccination rate against the virus was around 76% as of 2023, according to the World Health Organization — a dip from previous years and well below the 95% rate experts say is needed to prevent outbreaks.Mexico’s current outbreak began in March. Officials traced it to an 8-year-old unvaccinated Mennonite boy who visited relatives in Seminole, Texas — at the center of the U.S. outbreak.Cases rapidly spread through Chihuahua’s 46,000-strong Mennonite community via schools and churches, according to religious and health leaders. From there, they said, it spread to workers in orchards and cheese plants.

Gloria Elizabeth Vega, an Indigenous Raramuri woman and single mother, fell sick in March. Because she’s vaccinated, measles didn’t occur to her until she broke out in hives. Her supervisor at the cheese factory — who also caught measles — told her she had to take 10 days of leave and docked her pay 40% for the week, Vega said.

It’s rare for vaccinated people to get measles, but officials say that may account for up to 10% of cases here, though they’re milder.“I stuffed 15 dogs in a black Prius and two cats,” Buturovic said.

But she still had nine more dogs and a pig to evacuate, so flagged down some 18-year-olds with a truck who agreed to take them to a shelter. She couldn’t bring two ponies with her, but she left the corral open so they could escape if needed.“That’s how we evacuated almost 30 animals,” she said. “It was crazy.”

Buturovic is one of many animal owners in Los Angeles who scrambled to get themselves and their beloved companions out of the way ofhomes and other structures this week. It has overwhelmed shelters, whose leaders have implored people, if they’re able, to find friends or family to foster their pets.
