The American Geophysical Union is fundraising for the climate report's long-term publication.

SILICON VALLEY - The CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and GrokAI have released a statement agreeing that claiming artificial intelligence "could potentially kill all humans" sounds much more awesome than just admitting that they blew a fortune on glorified chatbots.

Wealthy individuals have a higher carbon footprint. A new study published in Nature Climate Change quantifies the climate outcomes of these inequalities. It finds that the world’s wealthiest 10% are r...

The federal government's new report summarizing the latest science on climate change warns that under current climate policies, the impact on Canadians will likely be "far from benign."

California data centers guzzle billions of gallons of water to cool AI servers — and the public still doesn't know how much. Lawmakers want that to change. Newsom vetoed the idea last year. Now two ne...

As the planet warms, glacier meltwater and a thawing permafrost could have contributed to destabilizing the rock.

Melting glaciers are leaving behind large, unstable lakes around the world. Millions of people live downstream, in places increasingly threatened by deadly flash floods. What will it take to protect t...

The Seattle Public Library's Fremont and West Seattle branches will close for renovations on Aug. 9 through early November. They're getting new HVAC systems to keep up with growing concerns about seve...

Adrian Glover and colleagues review evidence for impacts of the three types of deep-sea mining — nodules, hydrothermal vents and seamounts — on marine life and assess the potential for biodiversity lo...

Instead of passing through bankruptcy, insolvent life insurers have all their liabilities—in particular the policyholder claims—paid for by state guaranty funds.

Optimal sleep has a vital role in promoting healthy ageing and enhancing longevity. Here we propose Sleep Chart to assess the relationship between self-reported sleep duration and 23 biological ageing clocks derived from in vivo imaging1, plasma proteomics2 and metabolomics3. First, a systemic, U-shaped pattern emerges between sleep duration and biological age gaps across nine brain and body systems and three omics technologies. The sample-specific lowest biological age gaps are achieved between 6.4 and 7.8 h of sleep duration, varying by organ and sex in the UK Biobank (aged 37–84 years). Furthermore, short (<6 h) and long (>8 h) sleep duration, compared with a normal sleep duration (6–8 h), are associated with increased risk of systemic diseases beyond the brain and all-cause mortality, with evidence from genetic correlations and time-to-incident survival predictions, such as depression and diabetes. Finally, the pathways by which long and short sleep duration are associated wi
