From chronic respiratory problems to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and dementia, health damage caused by particulate matter air pollution is wide-ranging and serious. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that over six million deaths a year are caused by increased exposure to particulate matter.

Measurements taken with the new method reveal that 60% to 99% of oxygen radicals disappear within minutes or hours. Previous analyses of particulate matter based on filter deposition therefore delivered a distorted image.

The older methods of measuring involed collecting particles on a filter, that.filter is then collected days or weeks later, this suggest many of the particles (60%-99%) will be gone by then

Maybe this ahoukd even be cross posted to /c/fuckcars.

The climate denying goverment of Qld have been busily running around dealing with the impacts of climate changed weather ever since they've been elected that's all they've done (TC Albert before this, flooding in FNQ before that)

The problem with the soft apocalypse is that it is still an apocalypse. It still ends in collapse. We tell ourselves we have time, that the worst is always just ahead, that we will act when we must

Didn't work out as she'd hoped I guess ?

The trial heard the "statement of notice" the woman handed to the care worker asserted she was "a living being sovereign to this land" who "hereby renounce and reject my former engagement with the courts… and their kronies (sic)… and disregard all orders as null and void".

Throughout the trial the woman regularly interrupted the proceedings, resulting in Judge Haesler finding her in contempt of court.

"[She] repeatedly interjected, directed personal insults to me and others, harassed witnesses (including her own [children]), refused my directions and orders and talked over me excessively," Judge Haesler wrote in a scathing judgement.

Over the decades, more than 200 bird species have been recorded at the EBO, which is wedged between Western Australia's remote south coast and arid Nullarbor Plain.

Originally a station on the Trans-Australian Telegraph Line, the remote property is now a known ornithological hotspot.

But for Ms Sobey, who has previously run as a Greens candidate for the federal seat of Farrer, the bush is the perfect escape from the "disappointment" of humanity.

I can emparhise with that feeling completely.

A growing number of Latin American women are choosing not to give birth in a radical departure from the traditional family roles that have long dominated in the region. -

This kind of tugs both ways at me, the extra work just to buy a house, the waste and rubbish from festivals and events.

Respect and happy for the guy as an individual, reinforces my dillusion at society generally i guess?

But over the course of seven years, he managed to collect about $46,000 worth.

His can and bottle money was enough for the 36-year-old to put down a deposit on a two-bedroom home on the NSW Central Coast last year.

While he holds down a permanent job during the week, Mr Gordon also volunteers at events like music festivals, where he collects thousands of cans and bottles at a time.

Some of these events like weddings and music festivals, they produce so much waste."

Bethany, a mother of two from Bogalusa, is one of them: her third baby is due on April 4, and Medicaid will cover the whole cost of delivery. Cutting the programme would be a “huge step back for all of us”, she says. “Times are hard — we can’t afford it ourselves right now.”

Bethany, who declined to give her surname because she does not want to publicise her political views, voted for Trump in November. But she says she is surprised at all the talk about curtailing a programme that has become indispensable to her and her family.

EJ Kuiper, chief executive of Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System (FMOLHS), which runs the Bogalusa hospital, says more than 40 hospitals in Louisiana are at risk of closing if Medicaid funding is reduced.

The world’s appetite for energy rose faster than usual last year because record high global temperatures meant more power was used for cooling, underscoring the vicious cycle between climate change and energy use.

Half of the increase in global emissions from energy last year was down to 2024 being the hottest year on record, the International Energy Agency said on Monday. Overall greenhouse gas emissions from energy use rose 0.8 per cent last year.

The predictable and foreseeable doom loop

The rollout of electric cars and the expansion of data centres needed for artificial intelligence were also to blame for rising power demands, it said, with server capacity increasing by a fifth — mostly in the US and China.

“What is certain is that electricity use is growing rapidly, pulling overall energy demand along with it to such an extent that it is enough to reverse years of declining energy consumption in advanced economies,” said IEA executive director Fatih Birol.
