Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Tuesday, May 13th, 2025. And we begin with the bad news bears of baseball. And this year it's not the Chicago White Sox, which just last season set a modern day record by losing 121 games. This time, a shadow hangs over at the Colorado Rockies, who started the year

with an abysmal seven wins and 33 losses. According to the Wall Street Journal, at the pace

they're currently on, they would drop 137 games. Even the infamous 1899 Cleveland Spiders, the team widely considered to be the worst

ever assembled, only lost 134. Saturday's game was particularly bad, a 21-0 drubbing by the

Padres. Maybe they can turn it around, but the team's general manager is done hoping. Just

global warming, according to a stunning new claim. A recent study in the journal, Nature Climate Change,

blames the richest 10% of the

world's population for an astonishing two-thirds of climate warming. The reason is largely

bigger homes, more cars, private planes, and owning businesses and other investments that give

off an abundance of carbon emissions. The poorest half of the

world population accounted for only one-tenth of the problem, according to the research. The authors

of the study point out that the wealthy can make choices that those of lesser means cannot,

and recycling, electric cars, and other measures to save the planet can't solve the

problem if the affluent continue wasteful practices. He won the Kentucky Derby a week and a half ago.
