In April, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change dropped a gargantuan report examining how humans might mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. The entire report runs almost 3,000 pages, but the bit you really need to know about comes 50 pages in and lists all the ways we can reduce emissions right now.Switching to wind and solar energy are listed as the two highest-impact shifts. But a little lower down there’s an odd one: “shift to balanced, sustainable healthy diets.” If that phrasing strikes you as mealymouthed, that’s because it is. An earlier version of the report included a…
The European box office still hasn’t recovered from COVID-19. Figures released by the European Audiovisual Observatory on Thursday show that 2021 theatrical revenue across the European Union and the U.K., while ticking up compared to 2020, was still sharply down compared with pre-pandemic levels. Gross box office receipts grew 38.2 percent year-on-year to an estimated $3.05 billion (€2.9 billion) across the region in 2021, the group said, but that was still a 59 percent drop from the average annual revenue recorded in the pre-pandemic period between 2017 and 2019. Cinema attendance in the EU and the U.K., at 394 million…

According to audio obtained by New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said President Joe Biden was the “best person to have” leading the country after a mob of former President Donald Trump’s attacked the United States Capitol on the false premise that the 2020 general election was stolen. “We’ll actually come out of this thing stronger. Moments like this reset. People will calm down. People will say, ‘I don’t want to be associated with that,’” Graham says in the audio clip. “This is a group within a group. What this does, there will…

Neurodegenerative diseases damage and destroy neurons, ravaging both mental and physical health. Parkinson’s disease, which affects over 10 million people worldwide, is no exception. The most obvious symptoms of Parkinson’s disease arise after the illness damages a specific class of neuron located in the midbrain. The effect is to rob the brain of dopamine—a key neurotransmitter produced by the affected neurons. In new research, Jeffrey Kordower and his colleagues describe a process for converting non-neuronal cells into functioning neurons able to take up residence in the brain, send out their fibrous branches across neural tissue, form synapses, dispense dopamine and restore capacities…

It’s starting to feel like a disjointed puzzle with too many pieces. Under the Banner of Heaven Season 1 Episode 4 is, unfortunately, feeling the crushing weight of its source material. While there was a lot of information, the plot (such as it is) moved slowly as we learned more about Ron and Dan Lafferty. Non-fiction crime can be challenging to adapt. When it’s done right, everything feels organic and seamless. There is a delicate balance of how much information from the original case (and book) to include and how to distill it down to its…

Audio has surfaced of Senator Lindsey Graham suggesting Joe Biden was the “best person” to lead the country after the January 6th riot at the Capitol. The news comes from another audiotape released by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns for their new book titled, “This Will Not Pass.” Graham’s comments suggest those in attendance at the Capitol that day do not represent the Republican Party and that Biden would unify the nation and make us stronger. That didn’t exactly pan out. “We will actually come out of this thing stronger. Moments like this reset. It’ll take…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick joined “The Ingraham Angle” to break down his candidacy for voters Wednesday.DAVE MCCORMICK: I would not support lifting the tariffs, and I would be a leader of a strategy and a posture with China that would even go beyond what President Trump did. And as someone who sort of spent nine years of his life fighting communist ideology, negotiated at the highest levels of our government against China and then did business around the world, no one has the experience I have to go toe-to-toe with…
