Scientists are calling for a new global regime to address air pollution caused by the space industry.Prof Eloise Marais’s team at University College London (UCL) began tracking space activities in 2020. Their latest figures reveal 259 rocket launches in 2024, and 223 launches in 2023. These burned more than 153,000 tonnes of fuel.Marais said: “More pollutants are being released into the atmosphere from rockets and satellites than ever before. We’re in uncharted territory, as humans have never added this much pollution to the upper layers of the atmosphere. If left unregulated, it may have serious impacts on Earth’s atmosphere.”The team…

Joe FayTechnology ReporterEddie HartEddie Hart says coding firms seem reluctant to hire recent graduatesEddie Hart studied computer science and cybersecurity at Newcastle University, graduating in 2024.He says he knew getting into the tech workforce would be a challenge, but “I thought it would be a little easier”.Even when “junior” roles were advertised, they often demanded two or more years professional experience, Mr Hart says.”It’s not realistic, and it’s just discouraging the good candidates from even trying.”To him it seems clear that potential employers are using AI tools to automate the simpler parts of coder’s work, tasks which would traditionally allow…

When we talk about carbon dioxide, the narrative is almost always that of a modern-day morality play. We hear about gigatons of CO2 emitted, about rising global temperatures and about the dire, unheeded warnings of climate scientists. In these tales, CO2 often seems less like a mute, inert molecule and more like an evil supervillain—a malevolent force that has been plotting for centuries to wreak havoc on our planet and ruin our lives.But according to science journalist Peter Brannen, that dismal view is far too narrow. In his first book, The Ends of the World, Brannen chronicled Earth’s five major…

An appeals court has thrown out a $500m (£372m) penalty that President Donald Trump was ordered to pay in a New York civil fraud trial last year.

In the lengthy ruling released on Thursday, judges on the New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division stated that while Trump was liable for the fraud, the fine of nearly half a billion dollars was excessive and probably violated constitutional protections against severe punishment. In the case Judge…
