The true global impact of species-loss caused by humans is far greater than expected (Science)

Summary:The extinction of hundreds of bird species caused by humans over the last 130,000 years has led to substantial reductions in avian functional diversity — a measure of the range of different roles and functions that birds undertake within the environment — and resulted in the loss of approximately 3 billion years of unique evolutionary history, according to a new study.

The extinction of hundreds of bird species caused by humans over the last 130,000 years has has led to substantial reductions in avian functional diversity — a measure of the range of different roles and functions that birds undertake within the environment- and resulted in the loss of approximately 3 billion years of unique evolutionary history, according to a new study published today in Science.

Whilst humans have been driving a global erosion of species richness for millennia, the consequences of past extinctions for other dimensions of biodiversity are poorly known. New research lead by the University of Birmingham highlights the severe consequences of the ongoing biodiversity crisis and the urgent need to identify the ecological functions being lost through extinction.

The Likable Lies of Campaign 2024 (GZERO)

 

The Likable Lies of Campaign 2024

After the Tuesday night vice presidential debate ended, there was widespread praise about the demeanor of the candidates, Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance. “Voters overwhelmingly characterized the debate as positive in tone,” wrote CBS News, which hosted the debate and then conducted a poll right immediately afterward. The BBC headline used the word “politeness” to characterize the debate. GZERO used “civility.” It’s true. A much-needed Midwestern decency prevailed throughout the VP debate, the expected personal attacks giving way to a wider policy discussion.

After watching the screed-filled mayhem about immigrants eating pets that characterized the Donald Trump-Kamala Harris debate, the VP face-off was like sipping a cold beer in the middle of a heat wave.

But something about this new political “decency” beer doesn’t taste right, and it’s causing a massive hangover. The common decency displayed by Vance and Walz cleverly masks constant deceptions, and yet that doesn’t seem to have any impact on the campaign. In fact, there’s more controversy about the candidates being fact-checked by journalists — that is their job! — than about candidates lying.
