(CN) — In some of the world’s most crowded coastal regions, the ground is dropping faster than the sea is rising, putting millions of people at risk, researchers say.In a study published Wednesday in Nature, scientists say many of the planet’s largest river deltas are losing elevation more quickly than local sea levels are rising, dramatically increasing the risk of flooding, saltwater intrusion and long-term land loss.Researchers analyzed 40 deltas across five continents, including the Mississippi, Mekong, Nile and Ganges–Brahmaputra systems. In 18 of those deltas, land subsidence already exceeds sea-level rise, putting more than 236 million people at heightened…

Towards the end of the last ice age, an ancient wolf feasted on a young woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis). When the wolf died, it ended up buried in Siberian permafrost for about 14,000 years until it was uncovered by paleontologists in 2015. Luckily for scientists, some woolly rhinoceros tissue remained inside of the wolf’s stomach. Now, these genetic detectives analyzed the woolly rhino’s genome and found that the species likely went extinct due to rapid population collapse and not a slow decline as Earth’s…
By now people should be fairly conversant with the tactic of ‘flooding the zone’. These are propaganda campaigns that depend on pushing out as many lies fitting a particular narrative as possible. Fact checking them is nearly futile because no individual lie matters. The assumption is that the public isn’t closing following any particular story, it’s just being barraged with a massive amount of them that all say the same thing. For example, the media put out thousands of stories claiming that Israel was killing women and children in Gaza and committing other atrocities. Pro-Israel people tried fact-checking them, but…

It’s the only thing that can stop me, and that’s very good.”In January 1776, Thomas Paine published Common Sense, a pamphlet that gave voice to the discontent of a nation struggling to free itself from a tyrannical ruler who believed power flowed from his own will rather than the consent of the governed.
