Nuclear war and malicious use of AI could end humanity by 2100, scientists warn

They are among 17 global threats to human health according to a new study by The Lancet which aims to drive global action to address them.
The malicious use of AI or nuclear war could end humanity as we know it by 2100.

Living immersed in a toxic soup and the cancers of young people

* Lifestyle choices?
"Cancer rates rising more quickly among younger people, international study finds. Researchers, who looked at UK, US and Dutch data, say lifestyle choices are costing thousands of lives a year." >>
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/oct/06/cancer-rates-rising-more-quickly-among-younger-people-international-study-finds

* Or stopping pollutants at the source?
often called source reduction or pollution prevention (P2)—is the most effective way to protect the environment and public health. Unlike "end-of-pipe" treatments, this approach eliminates or minimizes pollution before it is ever created. Stop industries from passing environmental costs onto society, fixing a "market failure" where pollution prices are left out of goods and services

* What is the polluter pays principle?
"The ‘polluter pays’ principle is the commonly accepted practice that those who produce pollution should bear the costs of managing it to prevent damage to human health or the environment." >>

The commentary compares this prioritisation vs. the "Regulation 1107/2009’s principle that economic considerations should not override the protection of #HumanHealth and the environment. Such a process that sidelines scientific evidence, public concern, and established law-making principles risks undermining public trust" [1]

The authors suggest
"actionable recommendations for improving environmental risk assessment for stronger biodiversity protection while limiting regulatory burden" [1]

Worthwhile read - and I will note one issue it does not address - the impact of increased CO2 concentrations on the global ecosystem - everything from #OceanAcidification to #PlantMetabolism to #HumanHealth - in short, adverse impacts to the global system we live in.

"The new legislation has been widely criticized: NGT plants can now be brought to market without undergoing environmental risk assessment. Health risks will only be assessed in specific cases. There is no requirement for food product labelling or methods of detecting NGT plants. "

Another light pollution/health study using the massive UK #BioBank dataset. “Our findings provide evidence that a higher #ALAN exposure is associated with an increased risk of incident [ulcerative colitis], with a significant dose-response relationship, but not with [Crohn’s disease]. Further studies are needed to elucidate the impact of outdoor ALAN on disease pathogenesis and outcomes.”

Another health study backed by direct measurements of light exposure (rather than guessing what it is from satellite measurements): “In this cohort study, night light exposure was a significant risk factor for developing cardiovascular diseases among adults older than 40 years. These findings suggest that, in addition to current preventive measures, avoiding light at night may be a useful strategy for reducing risks of cardiovascular diseases.”
