Pourquoi une diminution de la population humaine ne bénéficierait pas forcément à la biodiversité : l’exemple du Japon
Même avec moins d’êtres humains, la faune sauvage dispose de moins d’espace et de moins de niches écologiques où s’installer.

Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions £ in advertising and referral deals.
For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas")

Why do so many Americans try to act smart, and end up demonstrating that they are actually really stupid?
It has come to my attention that Americans (it's always Americans) have coined this awful word. Using the metric prefix for 1/100 makes no sense. A centimillionaire would be a person with wealth of $10,000, not $100,000,000. That would be (if a word is needed) a hectomillionaire.

It neutralises the real meaning of what Trump is doing, giving him space to expand and deepen the turmoil he is unleashing. Aiding and abetting the establishment of a dictatorship.
