Covid: ‘Virus going in right direction but not fast enough’

Health

Getty ImagesScientists behind a study tracking coronavirus in England say there are signs of a "shallow decline" in infection levels but they remain high.And with not all regions seeing the same downward trend, pressure on health services is likely to continue.Some 1.57% of people had had the virus between 6 and 22 January - slightly down from 1.58% in early January, the researchers said.The estimate is based on swab tests of 168,000 people in households. Confirmed UK coronavirus cases, based on people with symptoms having tests, have fallen sharply since the start of the year - but surveillance studies such as this one, which test people at home with or without symptoms, are thought to provide a more accurate picture of the spread of the virus.

Eliminating greenhouse gas emissions may not be enough to stop global warming

Science

Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Even if global greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to zero by the end of the year, new research out of Norway suggests Earth's climate will, after a brief decline in global temperatures, continue to warm through at least 2500. By 2500, simulations suggest Earth's climate will be 3 degrees Celsius warmer, on average, than it was in 1850 -- even with rapid elimination of human greenhouse gas emissions. Sea levels will be at least eight feet higher, according to the model. Advertisement Using data from various IPCC reports, researchers at the BI Norwegian Business School analyzed the relationship between greenhouse gas emission reductions and changes in the global climate between 1850 and the present. "We then used the resulting set of estimated causal relations -- the caus...

Cleanup, waste management aren’t enough to save ecosystems from plastic pollution

Science

Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Even if countries fund massive cleanup efforts and dramatically improve waste management infrastructure, two studies published Thursday in the journal Science suggest it won't be enough to save Earth's ecosystems from plastic pollution. "We simply make too much plastic waste to handle with current waste management infrastructure, and eventually we are going to run out of land to put landfills," ecologist Stephanie Borrelle, research fellow at the University of Toronto, told UPI in an email. Advertisement Plastic pollution is a growing problem for the planet's many ecosystems. From the island reefs and deep sea valleys to polar glaciers and the world's tallest peaks, pieces of plastic, big and small, are showing up everywhere. And it's not just ecosystems.
