What Bill Gates Overlooks About Climate Change
Bill Gates recently argued that we should de-emphasize the existential threat posed by climate change in order to “put human welfare at the center of our climate strategies.” But how tolerant should we be of the risk of creating a climate that will be disastrous for human welfare for centuries to come?

The Human Touch: Careers and Skills AI Won’t Replace in Farming and Agriculture
Artificial intelligence is transforming agriculture at a breakneck pace. From self-driving tractors to drones scouting fields for pests, AI is taking on tasks that once demanded hours of human labor and guesswork. It’s crunching data to predict yields, fine-tuning irrigation, and even spotting weeds with precision no human eye could match. But amidst this high-tech revolution, there’s a question worth asking: what careers and skills in farming will stay firmly in human hands? What parts of this age-old craft can’t—or shouldn’t—be handed over to algorithms and machines? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hormones are messengers
Hormone imbalance is rarely a single, isolated problem. It is usually the result of multiple systems losing rhythm together. The thyroid, adrenals, liver, gut, and metabolic pathways are constantly communicating. When one slows down or becomes dysregulated, the others compensate — and over time, symptoms appear.

Brown algae removes carbon dioxide from the air
Brown algae take up large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air and release parts of the carbon contained therein back into the environment in mucous form. This mucus is hard to break down for other ocean inhabitants, thus the carbon is removed from the atmosphere for a long time, as researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen now show.
