Efficiency traps beyond the climate crisis: exploration–exploitation trade-offs and rebound effects | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Higher levels of economic activity are often accompanied by higher energy use and
consumption of natural resources. As fossil fuels still account for 80% of the global
energy mix, energy consumption r...

On a global scale, absolute decoupling of GDP from resource use remains unlikely. Why? Because even optimal efficiency strategies, when wiped out by rebound effects, can lead to unsustainable outcomes—a formal take on the Jevons paradox.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Traumatic injury mortality in the Gaza Strip from Oct 7, 2023, to June 30, 2024: a capture–recapture analysis
Our findings show an exceptionally high mortality rate in the Gaza Strip during the period studied. These results underscore the urgent need for interventions to prevent further loss of life and illuminate important patterns in the conduct of the war.
