Covid world map: which countries have the most coronavirus vaccinations, cases and deaths?
Covid world map: which countries have the most coronavirus vaccinations, cases and deaths?
Since first being recorded in late 2019 in China, the Covid-19 coronavirus has spread around the world, and been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Dozens of countries have recorded over 1,000 deaths, while case counts now stand at well over one million in some countries.

Saving ozone layer has given humans a chance in climate crisis – study
Saving ozone layer has given humans a chance in climate crisis – study
The ozone-wrecking chemicals once commonly used in refrigerators would have driven 2.5C of extra global heating by the end of the century if they had not been banned, research has found. Modelling by climate scientists found that the 1987 Montreal protocol curbing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) gave humans a fighting chance of limiting global heating to 1.5C as set out by the Paris agreement. The…

Are Covid booster jabs necessary?
Are Covid booster jabs necessary?
Many rich countries are considering offering a third dose of the Covid vaccine to those who have already received two. But are these booster shots necessary? What does the evidence say about booster shots? The short answer is, it’s unclear.

If children are to live with the climate crisis, we must green the curriculum | Meryl Batchelder
If children are to live with the climate crisis, we must green the curriculum | Meryl Batchelder
In August 2018, the then 15-year-old Greta Thunberg started spending her school days outside the Swedish parliament calling for stronger action on climate change. It might sound perverse, a teacher supporting kids taking time off school, but spreading awareness of environmental issues is something I’ve always been passionate about. The challenge is finding a way to give them a meaningful climate…

The latest conspiracy theory about the BBC? It’s lying about the weather | Zoe Williams
The latest conspiracy theory about the BBC? It’s lying about the weather | Zoe Williams
People always say that if the BBC is under equal attack from left and right for being biased against them, that means it’s doing its job. This is fallacious, but in quite a familiar, Churchillian way (“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something.” Even though, it could, of course, just mean that you go round parties telling people they’re ugly). Now the left has gone quiet…

The Fans, and Their Noise, Return to Le Mans
The Fans, and Their Noise, Return to Le Mans
“Le Mans is not just the race itself,” Milner said. “It is the atmosphere of the racetrack. It’s the energy that the fans bring, the energy that the race itself brings, the history of that race. Having fans there will make it feel a bit more normal.” Twelve entries withdrew from Le Mans last year because of the pandemic, citing travel restrictions and financial uncertainty. Corvette’s absence was…

Sunak’s relief over rising UK employment may be short-lived
Sunak’s relief over rising UK employment may be short-lived
Rishi Sunak is too savvy an operator to declare victory in the battle against unemployment because the past 18 months have shown that the unexpected can happen, and often does. Yet while noting that there could still be “bumps in the road”, the chancellor is certainly relieved by how well the UK labour market has recovered from the effects of the Covid pandemic. The latest jobs bulletin from the…

Africa’s park tourism crash is a wake-up call. Can we find new ways to finance conservation? | Peter Muiruri
Africa’s park tourism crash is a wake-up call. Can we find new ways to finance conservation? | Peter Muiruri
That African governments have failed to mobilise funds to conserve their vast protected areas is not in doubt. Countries were just about managing to pay basic salaries to rangers who barely had enough to put fuel in their patrol vehicles. Covid has exacerbated this already dire situation, with the loss of income from foreign tourism. The continent has more than 8,500 protected areas, described by…

Those Anti-Covid Plastic Barriers Probably Don’t Help and May Make Things Worse
Those Anti-Covid Plastic Barriers Probably Don’t Help and May Make Things Worse
Most researchers say the screens most likely help in very specific situations. A bus driver, for instance, shielded from the public by a floor-to-ceiling barrier is probably protected from inhaling much of what passengers are exhaling. A bank cashier behind a wall of glass or a clerk checking in patients in a doctor’s office may be at least partly protected by a barrier. Understand the State of…

Country diary: a Dartmoor walk takes me back to my moment as a child star
Country diary: a Dartmoor walk takes me back to my moment as a child star
Cloud shadows race across the summery moor and hilltop tors. Away from the carpark on Whitchurch Common, yellow tormentil stars the greened-up turf, and prickly tussocks shield the pink bell heather and fresh molinia. Southward, above the granite moorstone marked with old cut marks, Pew Tor draws in spry youths to clamber among the boulders and leaning capstones. Staider folk shelter from the…
