| Yahoo News Explains: Why we’re closer to climate catastrophe than we thought Posted: 09 Oct 2018 03:42 PM PDT  The planet is even closer to catastrophe than scientists previously predicted, according to a new report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

NHTSA said it was considering whether it would have to be notified of any accident within 24 hours and was seeking public input on what other data should be disclosed including near misses.
