Earth Can Sustain Only 2.5 Billion People, Scientists Say. We Already Have 8.3 Billion.
Something broke in the 1960s. For centuries, human civilization had operated on a simple, self-reinforcing logic.

Study Reveals Microplastics Buried in Pre-Industrial Sediment Layers
Microplastics are now so widespread that scientists routinely find them in oceans, polar snow, and even inside the human body. What researchers did not expect, however, was to find them in sediment layers that appear to predate the age of modern plastic production. Yet that is exactly what multiple recent studies have revealed. In lakes…
Apple Fined As France Takes Stand Against Planned Obsolescence
For decades, consumers around the world have quietly shared the same frustration. A phone that slows down just as a new model launches. A printer that refuses to work after a software update.
