Chart showing greenhouse gas emissions by sector, 2010=100: UK The chart shows that agriculture and land use, which account for 12 per cent of the UK’s carbon footprint but has seen emissions fall by only 5 per cent over the past fifteen years – a smaller drop than any other major emissions source

The UK’s historical progress towards net zero has been impressive, but this effort has been uneven across the economy.

To meet our net zero targets, the pace of cutting carbon from agriculture and land use needs to increase.

Е, няма как да не припишем липсата на достатъчно медали от зимна олимпиада на лошите закони за опазване на биоразнообразието. Те Норвегия, Австрия, Швейцария за това имат много медали, заради липсата на биоразнообразие, не е до по-високи и снежни планини или умно инвестирани пари

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Gut microbial ethanol metabolism contributes to auto-brewery syndrome in an observational cohort - Nature Microbiology Gut microorganisms capable of producing ethanol cause alcohol intoxication, which can be corrected via faecal microbiota transplantation.

somehow I had never heard of this condition of auto-brewery syndrome (ABS). It basically where people get drunk- not from drinking alcohol but from their microbiome making alcohol (ethanol). It is rare (fortunately) but some cool new research has been trying to understand it #MicroSky🧪 🧵

Excerpt from a Guardian story: "Norway’s head coach Magnus Brevik, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, and staff member Adrian Livelten were also banned for 18 months for their involvement in the scheme, which made the jumpers’ suits larger and therefore reduced their descent rate due to the bigger wingspan. One study in the scientific journal Frontiers found that every 2cm in suit size circumference reduced drag by 4% and increased lift by 5%. It said that a 2cm change in the suits was equivalent to an extra 5.8 metres in jump length. However Bild has now claimed that jumpers have switched to other methods to game the system when they are measured for their suits, data for which is taken by a 3D scanner from the lowest point of their genitals. They include injecting acid into their penises or putting clay in their underwear to make their measurements temporarily bigger and therefore their suits looser for when they compete. The newspaper quoted a doctor, Kamran Karim, who said: “It is possible to achieve a temporary, visual thickening of the penis by injecting paraffin or hyaluronic acid. Such an injection is not medically indicated and is associated with risks.”"
