The stories coming out of this military takeover of American civilian society get more horrific day by day. Only a thug … ⌘ Read more
America’s super-rich are running down the planet’s safe climate spaces, says Oxfam
Jonathan Watts, Global Environment Writer - The Guardian (U.K.)
_Stephan: Human societies are becoming less democratic and more neo-medieval. A tiny group of men and women, just as in the 14th century, overwhelmingly owns or controls the assets of humanity, and shapes the way their societies treat Earth.

We’re putting lots of transition metals into the stratosphere. That’s not good.
We successfully plugged the hole in the ozone layer that was discovered in the 1980s by banning ozone-depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). But, it seems we might be unintentionally creating another potential atmospheric calamity by using the upper atmosphere to destroy huge constellations of satellites after a very short (i.e. 5 year) lifetime. ⌘ Read more

America’s Impending Population Collapse
Idrees Kahloon , Staff Writer - msn | The Atlantic

Electrochemical system converts plant compound into two valuable products at once
A research team has created a new kind of electrochemical “two-in-one” system that turns plant-based molecules into two useful products at once. Using a finely tuned single-atom ruthenium catalyst, the process combines two chemical reactions, oxidation and hydrogenation, inside a single electrolytic cell, much like cooking two dishes in the same pot without mixing up the flavors. Details of the research were p … ⌘ Read more
