Engagé de longue date dans le soutien aux parents d’enfants neuroatypiques, le président des Etats-Unis défend des positions archaïques sur l’autisme. Depuis vingt ans, sa vision est influencée par la fille d’un couple d’amis, passée de l’errance médicale à un combat antivax. C’est l’histoire d’une lubie trumpiste pas comme les autres. En mars, le nouveau ministre de la santé des Etats-Unis, le lobbyiste Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a confié aux Centres de contrôle des maladies (CDC), la principale agence de santé du pays, la mission d’étudier le lien fantasmatique entre autisme et vaccination.

Researchers say Aardvark Weather uses thousands of times less computing power and is much faster than current systemsA single researcher with a desktop computer will be able to deliver accurate weather forecasts using a new AI weather prediction approach that is tens of times faster and uses thousands of times less computing power than conventional systems.

In november zal de COP30 plaatsvinden in Belém, Brazilië. Braziliaanse minister van Milieu- en Klimaatverandering Marina Silva wil dat er resultaten geboekt worden op de volgende COP. Het mag volgens haar niet uitdraaien op een feestelijk spektakel.

Published 1972 – The message of this book still holds today: The earth’s interlocking resources – the global system of nature in which we all live – probably cannot support present rates of economic and population growth much beyond the year 2100, if that long, even with advanced technology. In the summer of 1970, an international team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) began a study of the implications of continued worldwide growth. They examined the five basic factors that determine and, in their interactions, ultimately limit growth on this planet-population increase, agricultural production, nonrenewable resource depletion, industrial output, and pollution generation. The MIT team fed data on these five factors into a global computer model and then tested the behaviour of the model under several sets of assumptions to determine alternative patterns for humankind’s future. The Limits to Growth is the nontechnical report of their findings. The book contains a message of hope a

De Europese ‘omnibuswet’ draait de klok tien jaar terug en is een regelrechte aanval op noodzakelijke duurzaamheidsverplichtingen voor bedrijven, waarschuwt expert natuurlijke rijkdommen Wies Willems. ‘De lidstaten en het Europees Parlement mogen dit niet laten passeren.’

n the UK, when climate activists want to block a road, they sit down on it. When their fellow activists in France want to do the same, they build a wall across one side, and set the other side on fire. As Extinction Rebellion drew tens of thousands to their peaceful “Big One” protests in London last month, in the south of France 8,500 environmental protesters occupied the road from Toulouse to the town of Castres.

Climate Change is rapidly accelerating and will lead to the collapse of civilization in the lifetimes of most people alive today. Here's why.

Climate change will fuel contests—and maybe wars—for land and resources.

Amid President Donald Trump’s attacks on government scientists and science funding, researchers are arranging rallies to “Stand Up for Science” in Washington, D.C., and nationwide on March 7

Thirteen of the ports with the highest supertanker traffic will be seriously damaged by just 1 metre of sea level rise, the analysis found. The researchers said two low-lying ports in Saudi Arabia – Ras Tanura and Yanbu – were particularly vulnerable. Both are operated by Aramco, the Saudi state oil firm, and 98% of the country’s oil exports leave via these ports.
