A network of accounts on X using stolen and possibly AI-generated images coordinated to engage with accounts supportive of Israel

This discovery follows previous research by the DFRLab and other investigators which exposed a similar network of inauthentic pro-Israel accounts which became active on Facebook, Instagram, and X after the beginning of the war in Gaza.

Newfoundland Memorial Univeristy team find white masses are likely material used to clean pipes in oil industry

Kozak conducted infrared spectroscopy and found chemical bonds consistent with polyvinyl acetate,

“It’s funny that no one thought to reach out to a chemist until very late. Everyone had their own opinions and speculation, but no one was really taking a scientific and experimental point of view,” said Kozak.

Researchers now argue in a new study that animals drinking alcohol, or more specifically ethanol, might be more commonplace in the natural world than previously thought.

In nature, plants don’t produce ethanol directly. Instead, it’s made primarily by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaeas it ferments sugars. Evidence suggests that yeast began making ethanol 100 million years ago, when flowering plants first started producing sugar-rich fruits. Today, ethanol-laden fruits can be detected in nearly every terrestrial ecosystem, the researchers say. Concentrations of ethanol in naturally fermented fruits can be as low as 1-2% alcohol by volume (ABV), and as high as 10.2% ABV in some overripe palm fruits.

Watch: Secret footage shows COP29's chief Elnur Soltanov discussing gas and oil deals

Leaders at COP29 must listen to demands for climate justice by putting human rights at the heart of all decision making and commit to massively scaling up needs-based climate financing and a full, fast, fair, and funded phase-out of fossil fuels across all sectors, said Amnesty International ahead of the UN climate summit in Azerbaijan.

“The high-income countries who share the greatest responsibility for the climate crisis must negotiate in good faith to achieve an ambitious and adequate target and deliver on their commitments. They must also substantially increase financing for adaptation to the significant climate harm that’s already here and will worsen very quickly, and to the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage to help the people worst impacted by the effects of global heating.”

Amnesty International will have delegates at COP29 from 9 to 24 November, who will be available for interviews about the need to centre climate-action decisions in human rights, and the Azerbaijani government’s ongoing assault on civil society.

“In light of the inadequate human rights protections in the Host Country Agreement, states must also take steps to protect freedom of expression and peaceful protest for all participants at COP29 and to limit the pernicious influence of fossil fuel lobbyists who will be ubiquitous at COP.
