‘The danger and value of water are in my blood’: how rain fences are making Dutch homes more climate resilient
Housing corporations are adopting rainwater storage in garden fences, reducing pressure during downpours and preserving water for times of drought
Good fences make good neighbours – but rain fences could make even better ones.
That is the hope of housing corporations in the Netherlands, which are adopting rainwater storage in their garden fences.

Argentina approves Milei’s glacier mining bill amid environmental protests
Legislative change backed by libertarian president makes it easier to extract metals in frozen parts of the Andes
Argentina’s congress has approved a bill promoted by the libertarian president, Javier Milei, that authorises mining in ecologically sensitive areas of glaciers and permafrost, outraging environmentalists.
The amendment to the “glacier law”, which was already approved by the senate in February, would make it easier to mine for metals such as copper, lithium and silver in frozen parts of the Andes mountains.

US had hottest March on record as nation faced ‘unprecedented’ heat
The continental US registered its most abnormally hot month in 132 years of records, according to Noaa data
March’s persistent unseasonable heat was so intense that the continental United States registered its most abnormally hot month in 132 years of records, according to federal weather data. And the next year or so looks to turn the dial up on global warmth even more, as some forecasts predict a brewing El Niño will reach super strength.
Not only was it the hottest March on record for the US but the amount it was above normal beat any other month in history for the lower 48 states. March’s average temperature of 50.85F(10.47C) was 9.35F (5.19C) above the 20th-century normal for March.

‘A dream come true’: Brazil’s blue-and-yellow macaws return to Rio after 200 years
An ambitious ‘refaunation’ project is bringing the much-loved birds and other lost species back to the city’s national park
Images of the iconic blue-and-yellow macaw can be spotted all over Rio de Janeiro. Yet the real thing has been seen so rarely in the Brazilian city that some wondered if it ever really existed there at all.
The French explorer Jean de Léry first described an abundance of the giant, colourful parrots around Indigenous tribes in the 16th century, and the Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer sighted theAra araraunain the city in 1818.

Bitten by snakes 200 times – on purpose: US man’s quest to help deliver new antivenom
Tim Friede put his ‘ass on the line’ to help stop snakebite deaths – whose numbers appear to be rising amid the climate crisis
As we overheat and degrade our planet, more people are likely to come into contact, sometimes fatally, with venomous snakes. One man hopes to provide an unusual solution to this, after subjecting himself to 200 intentional snakebites to his body.
For nearly 20 years, Tim Friede, 58, allowed some of the most lethal snakes in the world to bite him so he could build up an immunity that could one day be developed into a universal antivenom.

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.

Campaigners demand action to break UK’s ‘addiction’ to controversial herbicide
Use of glyphosate has risen 10-fold in 30 years, raising fears for public health
It was Scottish farmers in the 1980s who pioneered the practice of spraying glyphosate on their wheat just before harvest. Struggling in the damp glens to get their crop to dry evenly, they came up with the idea of accelerating the process by killing it a week or two before harvesting.
Glyphosate, then a revolutionary herbicide that killed everything plant-based but spared animal life, seemed perfect for the job. Soon the practice spread to wetter, colder agricultural regions around the world.

UK’s warm and dry April 1976 was a taste of scorching summer to come
Fifty years ago this month people were enjoying highs of 21C but stifling heat and water rationing were on the way
The weather in April 1976 was unusually pleasant. The Easter weekend, which fell in the middle of the month, coincided with a warm spell as an area of high pressure drifted towards the UK. Conditions in Scotland were unsettled but the rest of the country enjoyed sunshine and highs of 21C.
There was very little rainfall in what is traditionally a showery month, with Plymouth receiving a record low of just 4mm. The 12-month period to April 1976 was the driest ever recorded.

Behind this door is the huge fatberg that can’t stop depositing poo balls on Sydney’s beaches
Guardian Australia tours problematic Malabar wastewater plant where some accumulated fats, oils and grease can’t be accessed – let alone cleared

“This,” says Fiona Copeman, the hub manager of the Malabar wastewater treatment plant, “is what you would call our four-bus area.”
Copeman is gesturing to a model of the plant on a table inside the facility itself. She’s referring to a 300 cubic metre underground chamber that houses, as Guardian Australia revealed in January, a “fatberg the size of four buses that likely birthed poo balls that closed Sydney beaches”.

‘They poo all over the yard’: little corellas are terrorising Kangaroo Island – and nothing can stop them
The birds – not native to the South Australian island – have covered a school in faeces, torn up infrastructure and damaged crops

Thousands of little corellas that have been terrorising the inhabitants of Kangaroo Island have been culled but it won’t be enough to fix the problem, authorities say.
The birds, which are not native to the island, have covered a local school in faeces, torn up infrastructure, damaged crops and caused mental distress to residents with their screeching.

Otkriveno kako se tau spletovi šire iz jedne regije mozga u drugu kod Alzheimerove bolesti
Alzheimerova bolest je progresivni neurodegenerativni poremećaj koji polako oštećuje pamćenje, utječe na vještine razmišljanja i na kraju ometa svakodnevno funkcioniranje. To je najčešći uzrok demencije, koja pogađa milijune obitelji diljem svijeta.

Dugotrajna prekomjerna težina jači je prediktor kardiovaskularnog rizika
Pretilost je poznati faktor rizika za kardiovaskularne bolesti, ali težina ljudi može se mijenjati tijekom vremena, a malo se zna o kumulativnom utjecaju prekomjerne tjelesne težine. Novo istraživanje pokazuje da je dugotrajna izloženost prekomjernoj težini jači prediktor kardiovaskularnog rizika od indeksa tjelesne mase (ITM) u jednom trenutku, s najjačim učinkom kod mlađih osoba.

Krvni test može poboljšati procjenu rizika za rak grla povezan s HPV-om
Poznato je, da je više od 90% slučajeva raka grla uzrokovano humanim papiloma virusom (HPV). Iako ova vrsta raka dobro reagira na liječenje, zračenje i kemoterapija utječu na kvalitetu života pacijenata. Poboljšani biomarkeri mogli bi pomoći da se bolje prilagodi liječenje kako bi se smanjile nepotrebne nuspojave, a istovremeno osiguralo da pacijenti prime terapiju koja im je potrebna.

Operacija raka pluća sigurna za mnoge pacijente starije od 80 godina
Prema rezultatima istraživanja provedenog u SAD-u, odrasli u dobi od 80 i više godina s rakom pluća u ranom stadiju mogu se sigurno podvrgnuti operaciji i postići ishode usporedive s mlađim pacijentima, što dovodi u pitanje dugogodišnje pretpostavke o dobi i liječenju raka.

Unos šećera može smanjiti učinkovitost vježbi opuštanja
Novo istraživanje koje su proveli njemački znanstvenici pruža nove uvide u vezu između glukoze u krvi i autonomnog živčanog sustava. Naime, pokazalo se, da unos šećera suzbija opuštanje. Što znači, da ako vam je želudac pun, vježbe opuštanja neće biti toliko učinkovite.

Može li prehrana utjecati na zdravlje štitnjače?
Prehrana igra ključnu i višestruku ulogu u zdravlju štitnjače, koja se proteže daleko izvan samog unosa joda. Konzumiranje uravnotežene prehrane bogate hranjivim tvarima i antioksidansima podržava funkciju štitnjače i može pomoći u poboljšanju markera povezanih sa štitnjačom i imunološke ravnoteže, posebno kod autoimunih stanja.

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.
