True, but the generation that tends to vote far right is the boomer generation - it's the generation that failed to pass on rising prosperity and gave us the climate crisis.

Interesting study. Let's hope it isn't taken to mean that we need to raise as many cows as today in Europe so we maintain 'open' pastures

The over 1m stat is a bit of an exaggeration - the more accurate figure is closer to 750,000. See https://cepa.org/article/russias-military-manpower-crunch-will-worsen/

Charitably, 300,000 casualties would be ~40%. Of course it's still very good value for military spending...

This made me wonder whether the probiotic, Saccharomyces boulardii, might be a cancer risk given it's very similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. I don't think this study suggests that but this is very much not my field!

Yes, the methane is that bad. Fossil methane is also bad but we need to halve methane emissions in the next 10 years or so to have a shot at keeping global warming to ~1.5-1.7c

Useful to note the maximum theoretical energy that rain contains, per the article: 0.2kW/M2. Solar is ~1.3kW/m2.

Sad for Ukraine. I wonder whether we're back to WWI with long, static defensive lines and grinding, awful, slow advances.
