[BBC NEWS] Mount Everest: Mountain's highest glacier melting rapidly, ne...

Climate change is causing the highest glacier on Mount Everest to melt at a rapid pace, a new study has found.Researchers led by the University of Maine found that the South Col Glacier has lost more than 180ft (54m) of thickness in the last 25 years.The glacier, which sits around 7,906m (25,938 ft) above sea-level, is thinning 80 times faster than it first took the ice to form on the surface.The rate of decline has been blamed on warming temperatures and strong winds.Scientists leading the study found that since the 1990s, ice that took around 2,000 years to form has melted away.ADVERTISEMENTThey also noted that the glacier's thick snowpack has been eroded, exposing the underlying black ice to the sun and accelerating the melting process.Dr Mariusz Potocki, one of the study's lead re...

[BBC NEWS] Major breakthrough on nuclear fusion energy

European scientists say they have made a major breakthrough in their quest to develop practical nuclear fusion - the energy process that powers the stars.The UK-based JET laboratory has smashed its own world record for the amount of energy it can extract by squeezing together two forms of hydrogen.If nuclear fusion can be successfully recreated on Earth it holds out the potential of virtually unlimited supplies of low-carbon, low-radiation energy.The experiments produced 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds (11 megawatts of power).This is more than double what was achieved in similar tests back in 1997.ADVERTISEMENTIt's not a massive energy output - only enough to boil about 60 kettles' worth of water. But the significance is that it validates design choices that have been m...

[BBC NEWS] Climate change: UK plants now flowering a month earlier

Climate change is causing UK plants to flower almost a month earlier on average, according to a study.Just as autumn leaf fall is being delayed by warmer weather, flowers are appearing earlier on trees and shrubs.But while some might welcome these untimely blooms, scientists are warning of the risks.They say if the trend continues, there are knock-on effects for birds, insects and whole ecosystems.Ecological mismatch may kick in, which would have a dramatic effect "on the functioning and productivity" of nature and farming, said lead researcher, Prof Ulf Buntgen of the University of Cambridge.ADVERTISEMENT"Our climate system is changing in a way that affects us and our environment," he told BBC News.One in three wild trees face extinctionPlant extinction 'bad news for all species'A really ...

A major deal to help end deforestation has missed its first deadline just months after it was signed at COP26, Sky News can reveal.At the Glasgow climate summit, a group of donor countries promised $500m (£370m) to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to protect the Congo Basin - which absorbs 4% of the world's carbon dioxide but is suffering widespread forest loss - in a pact signed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.Sponsored linkRecommended byMan Who Made $95 million in 2008 Reveals New PredictionVproIn return, the DRC promised to publish an audit of all logging contracts, which would help weed out the illegal ones, such as those failing to provide protections for frontline communities or biodiversity.But the audit was not published by the end of 2021 as promised, the DRC government h...

[Forbes] The Way Companies Treat Their Employees Will Determine If They...

The way companies treat their employees will become the deciding factor for success or failure in our new post-pandemic era. We are in a war for talent. It's hard to believe after such a harsh 2020 and early 2021, with millions of Americans losing their jobs, we’re now talking about workers having the upper hand.We’ll likely see two types of corporate cultures arise. The winners will be the ones who learned that they need to treat their people with respect and dignity. Organizations that lack empathy and are callous toward their employees’ mental and emotional well-being will fall out of favor. Some companies have been relatively heavy-handed. David Solomon, the CEO of top-tier investment bank Goldman Sachs, demanded that his people come back to the office. He referred to remote...
