Drosten: Coronavirus Origin Assessment Hindered by Lack of Data
Berlin virologist Christian Drosten, part of a government expert panel, expressed his inability to judge the BND's findings on the coronavirus origin due to the lack of access to the source data, despite finding their summary impressive. While a natural origin is currently more probable, he stressed...

Climate Whiplash Intensifies Global Extremes
Climate whiplash, the rapid shift between extreme wet and dry weather intensified by climate change, is causing more severe wildfires (as seen in Los Angeles), floods, and droughts in at least 17 major cities globally, threatening food security, infrastructure, and lives.
