David Graeber: debt and what the government doesnt want you to know | Comment is Free The Guardian 2015-10-28 | There is one taboo of economics that the government is hiding from the public, argues David Graeber: it is the fact that if the government balances its books, it becomes impossible for the private sector to do the same. And, he claims, this inevitable debt often gets landed on those in society least able to pay it back.Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://is.gd/subscribeguardianSupport the Guardian ► support.theguardian.com/contributeToday in Focus podcast ► theguardian.com/news/series/todayinfocusSign up for the Guardian documentaries newsletter ► theguardian.com/info/2016/sep/02/sign-up-for-the-guardian-documentaries-updateThe Guardian ► theguardian.comThe Guardian YouTube network:Guardian News ► http://is.gd/guardianwiresGuardian Football ► http://is.gd/guardianfootballGuardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNsportGuardian Culture ► http://is.gd/guardianculture#DavidGraeber #Debt #PublicDebt #PrivateDebt #GovernmentDebt #Economics

How coral sounds can heal dying reefs The Guardian 2024-04-17 | This is the sound a coral reef makes. Scientists believe playing sounds of a healthy coral reef to a dying one could save damaged coralsThe world has lost half its coral reefs since the 1950s due to global heating, overfishing and pollution and 14% of the Earth’s coral was lost in less than a decade between 2009 and 2018. Using underwater speakers, scientists have broadcasted the sounds of a thriving reef to degraded coral in the Caribbean.Coral reefs are formed when coral produces and releases sperm and eggs into the sea.These then join to form coral larvae, which swims through the ocean, looking for hard, rock-like structures on which to settle and form coral colonies. The larvae were up to seven times more likely to settle at a struggling reef where they played soundscapes of a healthy ecosystem.While the results are promising, the scientists say there is more work needed to understand whether all coral species respond to reef sounds in the same way, and whether the corals thrive after settling.#coral #coralreef #science #environment #ocean #news

How leasehold properties keep people poor The Guardian 2024-04-09 | Because of laws brought in by William the Conqueror nearly a thousand years ago, a fifth of properties in England and Wales can be bought but you can never actually own them.The system is called “Leaseholding” and it’s a reality for 4.98 million properties in the UK. Leaseholding means you own your property but not the ground it sits on. It’s a system that dates back to when William the Conqueror invaded Britain, claimed all of the land for the crown and leased it to his lords, who in turn leased it to peasants in order to maximise profits while keeping ownership.The system remains relatively unchanged. “These days you “lease”, the ground from the owner of the land for a certain period, and are still legally called a tenant. Once that period expires, you will need to pay to extend that lease. If you don’t, all legal rights to the property you own revert to the land owner. It’s a system that affects the least well-off the most as leaseholds are often the cheapest or only option for those wanting to buy.It's an incredibly unfair system that gives freeholders ultimate control over decisions, and the power to charge extortionate fees and ground rents.#news #leasehold #housing #houses #realestate #uk

Is it wrong to eat venison? The Guardian 2024-01-18 | The UK's deer population is at its highest level for 1,000 years, and is growing exponentially. Now at roughly 2 million animals, the UK’s deer stalkers need to cull at least 750,000 animals a year just for the population to stand still. There are also more food banks in the UK than ever. As the need for food grows, donations, especially those containing protein, become harder to find.To combat these two problems, the Country Food Trust has created a supply chain from deer stalkers all over the country to food banks that need protein-rich donations.

Each layer is made up of slightly different minerals which can tell a story of the temperature and other conditions in the water where it was formed.A piece of the missing plane washed up on the French owned Réunion island off the coast of Madagascar in 2015 with gooseneck Barnacles attached. Since then scientists have developed ways of tracking the ocean temperatures he Barnacles had traveled through to then calculate through statistics the drift pathway that could lead back to the crash.#malaysianairlines #flight370 #barnacles #marinelife #science #news
