Removing rats helps revive forests, birds & coral in the Marshall Islands
On Bikar Atoll and Jemo Islet of the Marshall Islands, seabirds are returning, forests are regrowing and coral reefs are recovering. And it all stems from the removal of a single invasive pest: rats. Rats were once so abundant on Bikar and Jemo that they “utterly dominated the lower levels of the forest,” Paul Jacques, […]

I've been using Broadcom/VMware ESXI 8 U3 on a Gen 15 Intel Ultra 9 powered box.
Gack, you would think that a giant company like Broadcom/VMware would keep its software up to date.

Fresh polling by YouGov, carried out exclusively for Sky News, finds that belief in and concern about man-made global warming remains as high as in their heyday in 2021, when the UK hosted the COP26 climate summit.
