UK opening new oil and gas fields would imperil global climate goals, experts say
Senior climate figures warn North Sea drilling would encourage fossil fuel exploitation by developing countries
Opening new oil and gas fields in the North Sea would “send a shock wave around the world”, imperilling international climate targets, undermining the UK’s climate leadership and encouraging developing countries to exploit their own fossil fuel reserves, experts have warned.
The UK government is under stiff pressure from the oil industry, the Conservatives, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, some trade unions and parts of the Treasury to give the green light to new oil and gas fields, despite clear evidence that doing so would not cut prices and would have almost no effect on imports.

Oil slick from bombed Iranian ship threatens protected wetland
Shahid Bagheri leaking fuel towards Hara mangrove forest, home to migrating birds and endangered turtles
An oil slick from a stricken Iranian ship threatens to contaminate one of the Middle East’s most important wetlands, satellite image analysis suggests, making it one of a number of spills posing a risk to the livelihoods of coastal communities in the Gulf.
The Shahid Bagheri, a drone carrier, began leaking heavy fuel oil in Iranian territorial waters near the strait of Hormuz after it was hit by a US warplane in the first few days of the US-Israel attack on Iran.

Birdwatch: Climbing to 4,400 metres to spot a rare rufous-bellied seedsnipe
Our writer travels to the eastern Andes in search of one of Ecuador’s most elusive birds
I’m out of breath – and not just because I’m desperate to see one of Ecuador’s most elusive birds, the rufous-bellied seedsnipe. To have any chance of success, I’ve come to Cayambe Coca national park in the eastern Andes. At 4,400 metres (14,400 feet), this is the highest altitude I have ever experienced.
Fortunately the skies are clear, the sun is shining, and my guide, Juan Carlos, is optimistic. I don’t tell him I have a track record of missing nailed-on certainties.

Country diary: Watching the cows, chewing on memories of protest and parenting | Nicola Chester
Woolton Hill, Hampshire: I visit an old friend in an old haunt, where a small herd of Shetlands has been set to work
Thirty years on from the impassioned action of the road protests, the Newbury bypass soars above us on the old railway embankment. I can’t entirely accept it even now, having been part of the campaign. Today, walking in The Chase, the nature reserve that lies adjacent, the roar of traffic slips into a background hum, aided by other memories I’ve built up here.
Many of those have been with my dearest friend, Sarah. She volunteers as a “cow watcher” for the National Trust, and I’ve come with her as she checks their whereabouts and wellbeing. They are conservation grazers; keeping coarser scrub in check, spreading seed and poaching areas, and encouraging greater biodiversity and plantlife.

BP shareholders advised to vote against chair over climate resolution exclusion
Glass Lewis says blocking of proposal to share company’s longer-term strategy at AGM raises transparency issues
BP shareholders should vote against its new chair over his decision to exclude a climate resolution from the company’s next annual meeting, a major proxy adviser has recommended.
Glass Lewis has advised investors to vote against Albert Manifold, who has been in his post for just six months.

US is ‘using Mexico as a garbage sink’ leading to ‘toxic crisis’, UN expert says
Marcos Orellana, a special rapporteur, found lax environmental standards and lack of oversight allowed pollution to accumulate
Mexico is facing a “toxic crisis” and has become a “garbage sink” for the US, exposing Mexican communities to dangerous pollution, a UN expert has warned.
In an interview with the Guardian and Quinto Elemento Lab, an investigative outlet, Marcos Orellana, an environmental specialist, said pollutants ranging from imported waste to dangerous pesticides were affecting people’s right to live healthy lives.

As Iran war exposes global dependence on fossil fuels, the biggest emitters are reaping the rewards
Worst polluters hold world’s future in their hands as they benefit from higher fossil fuel prices, but global trends favour renewables
Oil stands at about $110 a barrel and some forecasts have predicted it could reach $150. Food prices are on the rise and are expected to leap further owing to the fertiliser supply crunch, leading the World Food Programme USA to warn that global food insecurity could reach record levels, with 45 million more people pushed into acute hunger. Industries from steel to chemicals have alerted markets that they face shortages and soaring costs, while households across the world are feeling the pinch – people have been told to turn down their thermostats, take the bus or cycle, and cut their speed on motorways.
The impact of the US-Israel war on Iran – the third global shock in six years, after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the Covid-19 pandemic – has laid bare how reliant our economies still are on fossil fuels. Simon Stiell, the UN climate chief, said in March: “Fossil fuel dependency is ripping away national security and sovereignty and replacing it with subservience and rising costs.”

Cars make way for bikes as Sydney commuters saddle up to circumvent ‘crazy’ fuel costs
The shock of the oil crisis is playing out on Australian streets, where bike sales are up and cycle lanes are busier
Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast
Before the 1970s global oil crisis, city planners in Copenhagen were considering removing bike lanes. Bicycles were considered outdated now car was king, and just 10% of locals were cycling regularly.
But as economic shock waves reverberated around the world, Denmark, which almost entirely relied on imported oil, took a dramatic U-turn, with citizens staging mass protests in the middle of highways demanding better cycling infrastructure.

‘All we can do now is pray they continue’: Maasai welcome the first rains but know that drought is far from over
Harsh weather is nothing new in Kenya but the country’s climate is showing clear signs of getting hotter and drier
The day is hot and dry but the soil underfoot is soft. “After four months of drought, we received the first rains yesterday,” says Maasai elder Abraham Kampalei. “All we can do now is pray that they continue.”
Kampalei has lived for more than 50 of his 70 years with his family and animals in Oldonyonyokie, a hamlet in southern Kenya’s Kajiado county. He has witnessed the slow decline of the pastures. “I came here because of the abundance of grass for my livestock to graze. Today, there is almost nothing left of it,” he says.

Used EV prices rise as Australia’s fuel crisis hits: ‘Doesn’t make sense to hold on to a combustion engine’
Stock runs low as oil crunch increases enthusiasm for electric vehicles
Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast
When a used vehicle rolls into a car yard, the usual trajectory for its price tag is down if it lingers too long.
That is the (almost) iron law of the secondhand market – until the oil crisis hit and dealers started raising asking prices for used electric vehicles.

Pušenje smanjuje ključna područja mozga, dok kanabis pokazuje slabije učinke
Znanstvenici pronalaze dosljedne promjene u mozgu povezane s upotrebom duhana, no tvrde da su istraživanja kanabisa još uvijek previše ograničena da bi se izveli čvrsti zaključci. Pokazalo se, da pušenje smanjuje ključna područja mozga, dok kanabis pokazuje slabije učinke.

Cijepljenje protiv gripe može smanjiti rizik od srčanog i moždanog udara nakon infekcije
Istraživanje provedeno u Danskoj otkrilo je da gripa može naglo povećati kratkoročni rizik od srčanog udara (infarkt miokarda) i moždanog udara, dok je prethodno cijepljenje protiv gripe povezano s izrazito nižim dodatnim rizikom kod ljudi koji su se ipak zarazili.

Autoimune bolesti poput lupusa i psorijaze mogu povećati rizik od raka
Rizik od raka veći je za ljude koji se bore s autoimunim bolestima, ali opasnost se smanjuje nakon što počnu uzimati protuupalne lijekove, otkriva novo istraživanje. Naime, otkriveno je 32%-tno povećanje vjerojatnosti za rak u prvoj godini nakon dijagnoze autoimune bolesti poput lupusa, reumatoidnog artritisa ili psorijaze.

Narcizam pokazuje složene, nijansirane učinke na zadovoljstvo dugoročnim vezama
Novo istraživanje osporava popularnu pretpostavku da narcisi postupno oštećuju svoje veze tijekom vremena. Inače, narcisi imaju dva različita načina održavanja svoje napuhane pozitivne samopercepcije. Mogu se hvaliti pokušavajući impresionirati druge (narcisoidno divljenje) ili mogu ponižavati druge ljude kako bi pokazali da su superiorniji od njih (narcisoidno rivalstvo).

Mutacije kalcijevih kanala ometaju rani razvoj mozga i uzrokuju epilepsiju
Znanstvenici s Baylor College of Medicine otkrili su prethodno neprepoznati mehanizam kojim naslijeđene mutacije kalcijevih kanala ometaju rani razvoj mozga i predisponiraju djecu za epilepsiju i povezane kognitivne izazove. Smatra se, da ovi rezultati bacaju novo svjetlo na to kako suptilne genetske promjene mogu promijeniti moždane krugove mnogo prije početka napadaja.

Metabolički putevi potiču progresiju od lezija gušterače do raka
Duktalni adenokarcinom gušterače najčešći je tip raka gušterače i ima nisku petogodišnju stopu preživljavanja. Počinje reverzibilnim stanjem koje se naziva acinarno-duktalna metaplazija, gdje stanice mogu zacijeliti nakon ozljede ili upale. Ako postoje mutacije koje uzrokuju rak, metaplazija može nastaviti napredovati prema raku.

Mikrookruženje tumora potiče otpornost na feroptozu kod raka gušterače
Tumori uzrokovani mutacijama KRAS gena koje uzrokuju rak često su podložni feroptozi, vrsti stanične smrti koja se može iskoristiti za terapiju raka. S obzirom na to da više od 95% duktalnih adenokarcinoma gušterače sadrži takve mutacije, moglo bi se očekivati da će ovi tumori biti slično ranjivi. No, ipak, ti tumori ne pokazuju takvu ranjivost.
