Shipping regulations to reduce pollution may have exacerbated Great Barrier Reef bleaching
Rising ocean temperatures have been implicated in mass coral bleaching events affecting the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). These events have been increasingly frequent, with major events occurring in 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025. Now, in an unexpected turn of events, it appears that regulations introduced in 2020 to reduce ship fuel pollution may have actually increased the solar radiation that leads to increased coral bleaching, according to a study published in Nature Communications Eart…

Suicide d’un agriculteur dans l’Oise : la responsabilité des agents de l’OFB écartée par un rapport jamais rendu public

The 2022 measure was enacted by the state’s Republican-dominated legislature over Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto.

Kentucky Supreme Court rules charter school funding unconstitutional
The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that a measure establishing public funding for charter schools is unconstitutional. The high court ruled that state funds “are for common schools and for nothing else.” The Republican-backed measure was struck down by a lower court in 2023. In an opinion released Thursday, the Kentucky Supreme Court wrote that the Constitution "does not permit funneling public education funds outside the common public school system.” In 2024, Kentucky voters rejected a…

Tree planting can combat urban heat, but some neighborhoods are falling behind
Sydney communities may be missing out on crucial tree planting projects intended to combat urban heat, leaving western and eastern parts of Greater Sydney with less protection from extreme heat, a University of Sydney-led study has revealed. In a surprising finding, the researchers found that while Greater Sydney's total tree canopy increased by 4.2% from 1.514 billion square meters to 1.578 billion square meters between 2016 and 2022, this growth was not evenly distributed.

Yes, you had the grace to admit you've never experienced war, but how the f*** do you expect readers to react?
Is this what comes of being published by a military history/games publisher (Osprey)? Insufficiently critical editing?
Is this a common sentiment? It's 100% not mine
