German court rules Apple cannot call its smartwatch 'carbon neutral'

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-29 07:15:37

Apple has made some pretty big environmental claims over the years, and one of the more eyebrow-raising ones was that select models of its Apple Watch Series 9 were "carbon neutral." The statement drew some flack from climate experts in 2023, and now a regional court in Frankfurt, Germany has deemed the claim to be unfounded and a violation of competition laws. If the decision stands, Apple may need to revise its language for the smartwatch. The German court took issue with Apple's planting of

Scientists Alarmed to Discover That Earth's Continents Are Drying Out

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-01 14:30:25

New research examining over 20 years of data captured by NASA's twin climate satellites, GRACE and GRACE-FO, has revealed an "unprecedented" level of water loss among the planet's continents, creating "mega-drying" regions across the northern hemisphere. One of these mega regions spans Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and vast swaths of Asia. That should clue you in to the staggering scale of this phenomenon, which the scientists are calling terrestrial water storage (TWS) loss. Since 200

Trump’s Stance on Science Is Starting to Look Uncomfortably Soviet

gizmodo.com Lois Parshley 2025-11-06 02:35:00

In the fall of 1925, agronomist Trofim Lysenko arrived on the dusty plains of what is now Azerbaijan, hoping to keep cows from starving to death over the winter. The young scientist, who learned to read as a teenager during the Russian Revolution, dismissed the rapidly advancing field of genetics. He believed nature could be bent to human will. Lysenko denounced the idea that genes pass traits down as a “degradation of bourgeois culture,” and couldn’t understand why cows bred to produce more mi

Why recycling isn’t enough to address the plastic problem

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-11-07 03:00:00

And looking into the future, emissions from plastics are only set to grow. Another estimate, from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, projects that emissions from plastics could swell from about 2 billion metric tons to 4 billion metric tons by 2060. This chart is what really strikes me and makes the conclusion of the plastic treaty talks such a disappointment. Recycling is a great tool, and new methods could make it possible to recycle more plastics and make it easier

Unprecedented Video Shows Catfish Climbing Straight Up a Waterfall

In the wild, catfish lead elusive lives, evading detection from scientists hoping to learn more about their lifestyles. And so, when police received reports of weird catfish clumps at the bottom of a waterfall, they immediately contacted a team of scientists to do some detective work. After watching the fish for about 20 hours, the researchers arrived at the conclusion that these Rhyacoglanis paranensis—an orange-and-black species of bumblebee catfish common to South America—were scaling steep,

One (American) billion rows per second might feel like a lot, so let me try to explain how you can achieve that using ClickHouse.
