By the numbers: The researchers estimated that the ice sheet will lose about 3....

Scraping the smelly sargassum seaweed from some beaches on Mexico’s resort-strewn Caribbean coast has become not only a nightmare, but a possible health threat, for the workers doing it — with the amounts washed ashore this year amounting to mountains no embankments.
