Coronavirus: Indonesian village uses 'ghosts' for distancing patrols
A village in Indonesia has reportedly taken to using volunteers dressed as ghosts to try to scare people into social distancing over the coronavirus.
Kepuh village, on Java Island, started deploying the patrols at night last month. In Indonesian folklore, ghostly figures known as "pocong" are said to represent the trapped souls of the dead. Indonesia so far has about 4,500 cases and 400 confirmed virus deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. But there are fears, according to experts, that the true scale of the infection across the country is much worse. -

Climate change: Blue skies pushed Greenland 'into the red'
While high temperatures were critical to the melting seen in Greenland last year, scientists say that clear blue skies also played a key role.
In a study, they found that a record number of cloud free days saw more sunlight hit the surface while snowfall was also reduced. These conditions were due to wobbles in the fast moving jet stream air current that also trapped heat over Europe. As a result, Greenland's ice sheet lost an estimated 600 billion tonnes. Current climate models don't include the impact of the wandering jet stream say the authors, and may be underestimating the impact of warming. -
