"...one notable policy initiative from the world body was not discussed by world leaders when it should have been. UN secretary-general António Guterres has put together a high-level group of specialists to propose new indicators for human and planetary prosperity that go ‘Beyond GDP’."
A #Nature journal editorial:
End GDP mania: how the world should really measure prosperity

End GDP mania: how the world should really measure prosperity
The obsession with economic output as a measure of human development puts sustainability on the back burner. Researchers can now help to devise better indicators.

Went out for a quick #hiking loop near #Lenggries between some rain showers and before visiting friends.

Strong global support emerges for 30–30 biodiversity target to protect the planet
There is strong support for the global 30–30 target on biodiversity, which means that one-third of Earth's surface should be protected by 2030. This is shown in a study from the University of Gothenburg that measured public opinion in eight countries on five continents.

I only realized recently that in #nature, every #offspring number that exceeds the number of parents (usually 2) is going to die more or less early (as food for other species) in order to keep the population under control.
(num animals dying early) = (num offspring) - (num parents)
So if a spec…

What happens when bees can’t buzz right? Nature starts falling apart
High heat and heavy metals dampen a bumblebee’s trademark buzz, threatening pollen release and colony chatter. Tiny sensors captured up-to-400-hertz tremors that falter under environmental stress, raising alarms for ecosystems and sparking ideas for pollination robots.

Natural disasters caused $135 bn in economic losses in first half of 2025: Swiss Re
Natural disasters caused $135 billion in economic losses globally in the first half of 2025, fueled by the Los Angeles wildfires, reinsurer Swiss Re said Wednesday.

Saw this guy a few days ago. Just a few houses up 🦉
Then last night I hear this screech again from our upstairs bedroom window. So I use the Merlin app to identify it as a Great Horned Owl. Then I played the various sounds and learned that this is a juvenile doing a "begging call", which is a raspy screeching sound young owls use to solicit food from their parents.
Kids, man. They always need something.
