wired.com Fernanda González 2025-08-26 04:31:18

If a country fails to take decisive action to protect the planet from climate change, it could be breaking international law and be held liable for damages caused to humanity. This is one of the conclusions of an unprecedented advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legal obligations of states in the face of this environmental crisis. The 15 judges that make up the ICJ, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, described the need to address the threat o

The unholy alliance between Silicon Valley and the Republican Party is no longer new.

Humans Counted 8,600 Earthquakes in Yellowstone. AI Says We’re Not Even Close

Before the advent of artificial intelligence, experts often detected earthquakes by analyzing seismic data by hand. Unsurprisingly, this approach takes a long time, is cost-intensive, and usually identifies fewer earthquakes. Machine learning has now changed virtually everything. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have retroactively identified and assigned magnitudes to ten times as many seismic events in historical earthquake data from the Yellowstone caldera from 2008 to 2022 as had b
