Ursula’s EU at Climate Week with big speeches, quiet rollbacks—and a whiff of climate capture
Climate Week exists to turn targets into timelines and timelines into budgets. If the EU wants to model leadership, the path is straightforward: restore a strong Green Claims law with independent verification; close loopholes in supply-chain due diligence instead of widening them; protect the integrity of the anti-deforestation regime; and lock in a science-based 2040 goal that keeps 1.5°C within reach.
Are you tangled up in climate conflict, because your job depends on it? New study
Al Gore warned in An Inconvenient Truth: “We are witnessing a collision between our civilization and the Earth.” That collision is fueled not just by carbon but by entrenched interests that benefit from the status quo. A new study in Environmental Science & Technology Letters shows how corporate capture—the ability of industries to shape the […]

Eat for your eyes and against cancer –– the power of zeaxanthin
Zeaxanthin is already sold as an over-the-counter supplement, but getting it from food is safer and more enjoyable. Unlike synthetic pills, food provides a synergistic mix of vitamins, fibers, and bioactive compounds.

Soil has hidden antibiotics ready to be found –– and the new race to find them
Most bacteria in soil cannot be cultured in the lab, and that has long been a barrier for science. Yet the soil beneath our feet is the world’s largest reservoir of microbial diversity, a hidden ecosystem that could hold cures for drug-resistant infections, insights into climate, and new tools for sustainable farming. This makes sense […]
HIV donors give their bodies in a new science experiment
