When we talk about our changing climate, many start by focusing on carbon emissions from cars, factories and power plants. But another notable contributor to global warming is hiding in plain sight: the beef on our plates. As the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30, approaches in Brazil, global attention is once again turning to bold climate solutions. And one of the most transformative opportunities lies in the host country’s own agribusiness sector.Brazilian beef is responsible for nearly 25% of total tropical habitat loss every year.

A Tethy underwater robot is being developedTethysMeet the robots that can see and hear in the dark depths of the oceanWhen Jonas Wüst first met rescue divers in Switzerland, what struck him was not their courage, but how much risk still defined their work. “We realized how outdated it all was,” he recalls. “Divers were still sent into low-visibility waters to inspect wrecks, recover objects or deal with unexploded ordnance.

The profit motive does not wait for permission to innovate. It is essential to remember this with the Bank Secrecy Act in mind. The legislation was passed in 1970 to help the federal government prevent money laundering and other financial crimes. Among other things, banks are required by law to generate “currency transaction reports” for cash transactions north of $10,000, along with “suspicious activity reports” of $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the circumstances.Reflecting on the rules, it’s not enough to point out that $10,000 in 1970 meant a lot more literally and figuratively than $10,000 in 2025. Which means we…
The WitcherCredit: NetflixNetflix has released the first full trailer for Season 4 The Witcher earlier this month, and was met with more than a little backlash. I was hoping for the best, and I’m rooting for it Liam Hemsworth as he takes on the role of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill. It’s hard to fill Cavill’s shoes as he was incredibly popular The Witcher fanaticism. But the best was not meant to be. The trailer was a mess, and one line in said trailer turned out to be incredibly controversial—and disappointing. During what appears to be a fight scene,…

“Democrats insist the shutdown is about protecting health care. It’s really about protecting a subsidy game that has enriched their political patrons in the insurance industry,” Pipes writes.AFP via Getty ImagesThe federal government shutdown enters its fifth week. At its core, the fight is over insurance subsidies. Democrats are demanding that billions in federal payments to insurers continue unabated. Republicans question whether this is a good idea.Democrats claim they are protecting “access to care.” In fact, they are enriching some of the nation’s largest corporations at the expense of taxpayers.Enhanced subsidies to cover foreign exchange are the clearest example.
