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.

Biodiversity loss may be the harbinger of a more devastating ecological collapse, an international team of scientists have discovered. By exploring the stability and collapse of marine ecosystems during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, researchers have gained worrying insights into the modern biodiversity crisis, given that the rate of species loss today outpaces that during the event, known as the ‘Great Dying’.

Scars remain from nearly all of Africa having been aggressively colonised. Greed mixed with racism to crush long-standing social structures while looting resource wealth. However, many of today’s most dynamic economies are former colonies. Their impressive successes followed colonialism’s uprooting of conventions which were becoming outdated. Perhaps colonialism should be categorised as a particularly ugly phase among a long series of highly disruptive industrial-era advances. Hosted on Acast. S...

Maar met gemeenskapsamewerking en die land se steun, is daar steeds 'n vonkie hoop in Kenhardt. Mense wat skunking wil maak met voer of vervoer van voer of geld skenk om aankope te d...

At the COP28 climate conference in Dubai in 2023, a commitment was made to phase out fossil fuels by the middle of this century. To meet the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement— keeping global warming below 2°C and preferably 1.5°C— renewable energy capacity needs to triple by 2030 . Solar energy is one of the major sources that must be expanded. But while its benefits are undeniable, all human activities have environmental impacts that need to be studied and minimised, including solar power. Host...
