Over the past 50 years, extraction of Earth’s natural resources has tripled. Without urgent action to reverse the trend, that rate, growing by an average of 2.3% per year, will likely increase another 60% beyond 2020 levels in the coming decades. That’s one end of the linear economy. On the other end, experts predict municipal solid waste generation will grow from 2.3 billion tons in 2023 to almost 4.2 billion tons -- annually -- by 2050.

MALE, Maldives, Aug 02 (IPS) - The ocean is our lifeline, covering 70 percent of the earth’s surface, it is the source of half of the oxygen we breathe, and it absorbs 26 percent of the carbon dioxide we produce. It is home to millions of marine species, contains 97 percent of all of the water on our planet and offers humankind immense resources.?

Extreme fire weather fed by heatwaves of greater intensity and droughts of longer duration is scaling fast and furious globally. Amid climate change, wildfires are expected to increase by almost 30% within two decades and, by the end of the century, up to 50%. Complicating matters, we’ve learned that last year was officially Earth’s hottest year on record.

Prehistoric chewed pitch has proven to be a useful source of ancient DNA, both from humans and their microbiomes. Here we present the metagenomic analysis of three pieces of chewed pitch from Huseby Klev, Sweden, that were dated to 9,890–9,540 before present. The metagenomic profile exposes a Mesolithic oral microbiome that includes opportunistic oral pathogens. We compared the data with healthy and dysbiotic microbiome datasets and we identified increased abundance of periodontitis-associated microbes. In addition, trained machine learning models predicted dysbiosis with 70–80% probability. Moreover, we identified DNA sequences from eukaryotic species such as red fox, hazelnut, red deer and apple. Our results indicate a case of poor oral health during the Scandinavian Mesolithic, and show that pitch pieces have the potential to provide information on material use, diet and oral health.

The hype surrounding generative AI has meant it’s no longer a tool to experiment with during a lunchbreak – it’s now a technology that businesses are under pressure to adopt. The likes of ChatGPT have spawned new use cases that are upending entire industries. But whether organisations know it or not at this stage, it will also ultimately force them to consider how the infrastructure they use will hold up under the weight of such developments.

1 INTRODUCTION All organisms require trace amounts of metals to function and produce new biomass. However, elevated metal concentrations quickly become toxic (Lemire et al., 2013; Waldron & Robinson, 2009), with structural effects on polluted ecosystems (Blanck, 2002; Blanck & Dahl, 1996; Pesce et al., 2010; Schmitt et al., 2005).
