What happened
Governor Kay Ivey directed the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency to pause enforcement on tax-exempt dyed diesel fuel for 120 days, citing sharp price increases in the fuel. Separately, reports indicate that retreating glaciers in Alaska increase the likelihood of tsunamis near cruise routes, such as the Tracy Arm fjord, following events like a 200-million-ton rock collapse.
