#WorldEconomicForum says it... climate change and right-wing fascists, both products of excessive capitalism, are the risks (and possible cause of disappearance) that humanity faces.

The study suggests the Carmichael coalmine is likely to disrupt water flows to the springs, which are more vulnerable to mining impacts than previously thought. The researchers have dismissed Adani’s accusations that they are anti-coal activists, standing by their findings.

The flowering dreams of genetic engineering
22 January 2024 / A review of the data in current publications shows that the cultivation of plants obtained from new genetic engineering (NGT or New GE) can be used to drastically alter the species-specific characteristics of poplar trees. No additional genes need to be inserted and the trees do not have to produce new or altered proteins. Poplar trees only begin to flower in nature after seven to ten years, but in experiments, after gene scissors-based interventions, they flowered after just four months.
