Though still unable to explain the things that were happening to her family, Zainab was glad when the occurrences stopped. <br /><br />But the 80-year-old and her family are now suffering again, claiming that the paranormal activity began again last month. Zainab claimed unexplained fires again occurred, damaging her house and another belonging to her sister. <br /><br />"The latest incident happened on Friday.

And our climate models aren't ready.<br />Like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide (yes, the same stuff as laughing gas) traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere. Although it’s thought to account for only about 6% of the greenhouse effect today, it is about 300 times worse for the climate than CO2.

Yet, for weeks, heaps of discarded possessions grew to towering heights across Puerto Rico.<br /><br />In Levittown, a suburb west of San Juan, residents said trash started piling up on sidewalks the day after Hurricane Maria hit. Waterlogged couches, televisions and refrigerators commingled with toys, clothing and books. The wall of garbage stretched on for blocks, attracting rodents and mosquitoes and raising public health concerns.<br /><br />Finally, after weeks of waiting, clean-up is underway in Levittown and elsewhere on the island. But at least one local environmentalist is worried about what will happen after the garbage hits the island's overflowing landfills. <br /><br /> According to the Environmental Protection Agency, one year before Hurricane Maria made landfall, most of Puerto Rico's 29 operating landfills were beyond capacity. And, nearly half had been ordered closed amid concerns over risks posed to nearby soil and groundwater, the agency said.
