=====The Mekong is slowly dying=====

[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/3s2qsuikpf/mekong-the-last-chance-to-save-a-mighty-river by Laura Bicker 11/01/23]

A warming world and hydropower dams are destroying one of the world’s richest ecosystems - and threatening the millions of people who rely on it.

=====The circus that bought a tiny California town: ‘We’re creating our own Disneyland’=====

[https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2024/nov/24/nipton-california-spiegelword-circus by Amanda Ulrich 11/24/24 The Guardian]

rom 10 miles out, the tiny town of Nipton suddenly appears in the middle distance like a mirage: a huddle of lush eucalyptus trees in an otherwise impossibly vast, barren expanse of the California desert.

=====How to harvest water from clouds of fog=====

[https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/10/06/1203891520/drought-climate-change-fog-harvesting by Kat Lonsdorf Claire Harbage 10/06/23 NPR]

This September morning, the air is cool. Murungi's wearing a wool hat and a maroon fleece, long pants and tall rubber boots. But the sun — strong at the equator — will soon warm the area. When the ground heats up during the day, its moisture evaporates into the air. Then when the night brings cooler temperatures, that moisture condenses, forming a fog of water droplets that Murungi and his wife collect.

=====Three independent studies say that blood platelet factor PF4 prevents and reverses cognitive decline=====

Although the percentage of older people with dementia is thankfully decreasing, from 13% to 10% in those over 70 from 2011-2019, the absolute number of people with dementia is actually increasing. That’s because the share of the U.S. population that is 65 and over ballooned by 38.6% from 2010-2020, in large part due to baby boomers (shown in dark blue below) crossing the 65-year mark. They’ll keep on doing that until 2031, so the 65+ population will continue to grow quickly until then.

=====It’s absolutely guaranteed’: the best and worst case scenarios for sea level rise=====

[https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/26/its-absolutely-guaranteed-the-best-and-worst-case-scenarios-for-sea-level-rise by Karen McVeigh 6/26/23 the Guardian]

It is accelerating, too: the ocean rose more than twice as fast (4.62mm a year) in the most recent decade (2013-22) than it did in 1993-2002, the first decade of satellite measurements, when the rate was 2.77mm a year. Last year was a new high, according to the World Meteorological Organization. It is no coincidence that the past eight years were the warmest on record.

=====What Happens When You Tax Billionaires at 90 Percent?=====

[https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/6/3/2172881/-What-Happens-When-You-Tax-Billionaires-at-90-Percent by Thomhartmann 3/6/23 Daily KOS]

“Succession” is over, but spoiled, entitled billionaire man-children are still very much with us, running social media companies, owning newspapers and television networks, and funding politicians and judges who then keep their taxes low and regulations minimal.

=====How the far right tore apart one of the best tools to fight voter fraud=====
