Exclusive: Top #Trump Adviser Sergio Gor Was Born in the #SovietUnion
Gor had previously declined to say where he was born. The December 2024 profile of Gor by the Washington Post — which noted his low public profile, despite becoming a “powerful man” in the Trump administration — skirted the question of his birthplace entirely. It called him an immigrant from the #Mediterranean island nation of Malta.

Shockingly High Microplastic Levels Found On Remote Mediterranean Coral Reef Island
While studying a remote, coral-covered island in the #Mediterranean, scientists were shocked to discover that it has become riddled with some of the highest levels of #microplastic #pollution ever recorded in the region.
The discovery was made in the volcanic #BayOfIllaGrossa, located on the #Columbretes Islands marine reserve around 50 kilometers (31 miles) off the coast of #Spain in the Western Mediterranean Sea.
The area is particularly special as it’s home to Cladocora caespitosa, the only reef-forming stony #coral in the Mediterranean.
Heatwaves and wildfires break out across Europe.

Experts estimate that the blazes will become more frequent as our planet heats up.
The #whitespotted #rosebeetle #Oxythyrea #funesta (#Cetoniinae) is a warmth-loving #Mediterranean #species, which was originally found only sporadically in southern Germany, but has now expanded its range to northern #Germany, apparently due to #globalwarming.
H. Hoffmann et al. (2021) examined the occurrence and #spread of O. funesta as a #citizensciencestudy.
