(CNN) — Casi la mitad de las especies del planeta están experimentando un rápido declive de su población, según un nuevo estudio.Los seres humanos ya han acabado con un gran número de especies y han llevado a muchas más al borde de la extinción. Algunos científicos afirman que estamos entrando en una “sexta extinción masiva”, esta vez provocada por el hombre.El principal factor es la destrucción de paisajes salvajes para dar paso a granjas, pueblos, ciudades y carreteras, pero el cambio climático es también un importante factor de declive de las especies y se prevé que su impacto sea cada vez peor a medida que el mundo se calienta.Los autores del estudio analizaron más de 70.000 especies de todo el mundo (mamíferos, aves, reptiles, anfibios, peces e insectos) para determinar si sus poblaciones habían aumentado, disminuido o permanecido estables a lo largo del tiempo.Según el estudio publicado este lunes en la revista Biological Reviews, el 48% de las poblaciones de...

COP28 chief under fire from EU and US lawmakers over oil ties

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:32:30 GMT

More than 130 lawmakers from the European Union and the United States are calling for the removal of oil executive Sultan Al Jaber as president of this year’s COP28 climate talks. In a joint letter — addressed to the United Nations, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and U.S. President Joe Biden — the lawmakers warn of fossil fuel companies exerting “undue influence” over the negotiations, which take place in the United Arab Emirates at the end of the year. The UAE’s appointment of Al Jaber, who runs the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, sparked controversy from the moment it was announced.  The lawmakers’ letter adds weight to a growing campaign on both sides of the Atlantic to replace Al Jaber. “The decision to name as president of COP28 the chief executive of one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies — a company that has recently announced plans to add 7.6 billion barrels of oil to its production in the comi...

Writer who called Polish president ‘a moron’ should not be punished, court rules

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:32:30 GMT

The Polish Supreme Court on Tuesday backed an earlier ruling that a writer who called President Andrzej Duda a “moron” on social media should not face prosecution.Insulting the head of state is a crime in Poland.Dismissing an appeal from the National Prosecutor’s Office as “manifestly unfounded,” the court said the social media post by writer Jakub Żulczyk did not constitute a crime, and caused negligible harm, according to Polish outlet Onet.Żulczyk said he was relieved at being “finally acquitted.”“I am very happy that FINALLY we can bring all this to an end,” he wrote on Facebook.In Poland, insulting the president — of Poland or even of another country — is punishable by up to three years in prison.In November 2020, after the U.S. presidential election, Żulczyk took to Facebook to complain about the way Duda congratulated then-President-elect Joe Biden on his victory. Duda had said he was awaiting Biden’s “nominati...

MIAMI (AP) — Blown out in Game 3, facing elimination in Game 4, tasked with engineering the sort of comeback that no team in their league has ever pulled off before.This may sound familiar to Boston fans.Yes, what the Red Sox did to the New York Yankees in 2004 was discussed around the Boston Celtics on Monday. A day after a debacle in Miami to fall into a 3-0 deficit in these Eastern Conference finals — “embarrassing,” Boston forward Jaylen Brown said — the Celtics will try to extend the series and at least delay a Heat celebration in Game 4 on Tuesday night.“We still believe we’re the better team,” Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon said Monday. “We have not played like it in any of the three games. But, you know, there is always a first.”No NBA team has rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a series; it’s happened only once in Major League Baseball, when the Red Sox shook off a 19-8 drubbing in Game 3 to win four straight and top the Yankees in that 2004 AL champ...
