Eläköön ihmeellinen monimuotoisuus | Luonto-Suomi
Luonnon monimuotoisuus on maapallon arvokkain ja vähiten arvostettu ominaisuus, on biologi Edward Wilson todennut. Maailmassa on miljoonia eliölajeja, erityisesti hyönteisiä on hämmästyttävä määrä, ja uusia lajeja löydetään jatkuvasti. Samaan aikaan lajeja kuolee sukupuuttoon huolestuttavaa vauhtia. Miksi luontokadosta pitää olla huolissaan? Entä miten se voidaan pysäyttää? Kerro omia ajatuksiasi aiheesta: milloin olet pysähtynyt ihmettelemään luonnon monimuotoisuutta? M…

For once, I'm happy to have a vehicle that runs on petrol, fuel economy be damned. There's no diesel available anywhere around here! Sold out and hoarded by panicked drivers while the supply is blocked up by protesters. An EV would be a nice addition (a 2021 Renault Kangoo electric please, for maximum parts sharing) but is not presently in the budget or remotely justifiable to have two vehicles when we presently collectively use about a quarter tank of fuel per month fetching groceri…

Adam Johnson poured Scotch into a coffee mug, logged on to Zoom and steeled himself for his plea hearing.
He concentrated on looking contrite.

Johnson was among the most infamous of the Donald Trump supporters who had roamed the halls of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
He’d found House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern and was carrying it into the Rotunda when he waved to a news photographer an…

He took Pelosi’s lectern on Jan. 6. Now he’s running for office.
Adam Johnson has rarely voted and embraces his role as clown prince of Jan. 6. Floridians will decide whether a man who tried to upend democracy can help lead one.

The Wendelstein 7-X concept proves its efficiency
One of the most important optimisation goals underlying the Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald has now been confirmed. An analysis by IPP scientists in the journal Nature shows: In the optimised magnetic field cage, the energy losses of the plasma are reduced in the desired way. Wendelstein 7-X is intended to prove that the disadvantages of earlier stellarators can be overcome and that stellarator-type devices are suitable for power plants.
