A paper in Scientific Reports presents four potential strategies — including movable barriers, ring dikes, closing the Venetian Lagoon, and relocating the city — that could help Venice adapt to future sea-level rise over the next 300 years. go.nature.com/4tX4Xet

Elevation profiles of the Venice lagoon boundaries outlining the elevation of primary defenses with respect to the present lagoon and sea level: dike (1) and seawall (2) on Pellestrina barrier island; dunes (3) and embankment (4) on Lido barrier island; dunes and embankments along the northern littoral (5); and embankments protecting the polders along the lagoon border (6, 7, 8).

🇪🇺 Europe’s coastlines are diverse, therefore sea-level rise is a shared challenge. That’s why the CoCliCo platform was designed to be truly pan-european.

Ten years after the Paris Accord and halfway through a #CriticalDecade for #ClimateAction, evaluating how climate science can accelerate climate action is crucial.
Speaker Gonéri Le Cozannet will address this at our #Tyndall25UEA conference. Register ➡️ buff.ly/4UR6ABm

A new study from @ulyssep shows that raising buildings is still largely overlooked as an option in Europe, yet this could be a “low-regret” option as sea levels rise and we face a pressing need to adapt 🌊tyndall.ac.uk/news/make-spac… #ClimateResearch #ClimateAdaptation #FloodRisk
10 years on to the day since Charlie Hebdo and we are still conflating the "dislike" of religion with bigotry against its followers. One is a right in a free society, the other is condemnable. Using one word for both is dangerous, as experience shows.
Hi Gad, happy new year.
Islamophobic means having, or showing, a dislike of, or prejudice against Islam or Muslims. Tommy Robinson is on the record saying many things that meet this criteria. Re the UK, I think the vast majority of Muslims here are a benefit to our society.

Elon Musk has a habit of spreading unverified and often false information on very serious topics, to millions of people.
He wants you to believe his "is this true?" schtick demonstrates a commitment to truth and due diligence. But it's a sham.
Someone dedicated to truth and reason would verify incredibly serious claims *before* spreading them to millions of people.
Furthermore, this way of operating does not take 'the primacy effect' into account, whereby people are likely to remember the first piece of information they encounter better than any later information that debunks it.
There’s a saying that predates social media by hundreds of years, but it may as well have been coined in tribute to it: "a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes”

Christopher Nolan will bring Homer’s ‘THE ODYSSEY’ to the screen in 2026.
The ancient Greek poem tells the story of Odysseus and his journey home after the Trojan War.
The tale includes iconic episodes like his encounters with the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch-goddess Circe, culminating in his reunion with his wife, Penelope.

Concerning to see an MP here calling for the reintroduction of a form of blasphemy laws
Blasphemy was abolished as an offence in England and Wales in 2008 under the last Labour government
In September, the UK Govt promised it would ‘never inhibit’ free expression on religions
During PMQs today, I asked the Prime Minister to introduce measures to prohibit desecration of religious texts and targeted vilification of all the prophets of the Abrahamic faiths.
As November marks Islamophobia Awareness Month, it is vital the Government takes clear and measurable steps to prevent acts that fuel hatred in society.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UK already has legislation which creates offences of stirring up religious hatred. This applies to all religions and atheism and was introduced by the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006.
