News Burst 21 October 2022 – Featured News
- New Zealand farmers took to the streets across the country in their tractors on Thursday to denounce Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s scheme to tax “agricultural emissions,” including cow farts and burps. They argued that not only would the added costs put them out of business, they would increase – not reduce – greenhouse gas emissions. Farmers’ advocacy group Groundswell New Zealand organized the protests in over 50 towns and cities, some filling the streets with dozens of tractors. Farmers at the protest argued the tax would not only drive them out of business but ultimately increase emissions by forcing farmers in other countries with less efficient practices to take up the slack. They pointed out that the tax does not take into account the trees and bushes farmers plant on their land, which take carbon out of the atmosphere. Some said they would refuse to pay it.
- More than eight in 10 people in the UK (85%) are changing their eating habits in response to the rising cost of living, consumer champion Which? said on Thursday. The most popular way of coping with inflation is to seek promotional offers, which is what more than half (55%) of the respondents reported doing. A total of 50% said they were switching to cheaper products that they didn’t buy previously. Around one in five said they had started buying more frozen (18%) and microwave-ready (5%) foods to reduce their grocery bills, they explained. Of those who said they were in a very difficult financial position, almost all (99%) said they were saving money on food in some way, while half (50%) reported skipping some meals altogether.
- Elon Musk is expected to finalize his deal and purchase Twitter, the social media company for $44 billion before the expiration of the court deadline, on October 28. Musk announced that the purchase is part of his plan to create “X, The Everything App,” but the billionaire did not provide details on the matter.
- A study of fossilized remains of Neanderthals found in two locations in Russia has confirmed that around 54,000 years ago they lived as large family units. The research was detailed in a paper published in the journal Nature on Wednesday by an international group of scientists. They said it was the first time that familial relations between Neanderthals had been documented. The team sequenced DNA from remains found in two locations in Russia’s Altai region. The fossils were discovered during excavations in the mid-1980s in Okladnikov Cave and after 2007 in Chagyrskaya Cave respectively. The latter site has produced over 80 Neanderthal fossils so far, the largest collection of its kind in the world. Researchers extracted genetic material from the teeth and bones of what they later discovered to be the remains of 13 individuals: 11 from Chagyrskaya Cave and two from Okladnikov.
- Sixty-six million years ago, the Chicxulub asteroid struck Earth in the Gulf of Mexico, just north of what’s now known as the Yucatan Peninsula. Researchers at Purdue University used a three-dimensional computer program called a hydrocode to simulate the first minutes of the asteroid’s impact 66 million years ago, including the giant crater Chicxulub left behind and the start of the ensuing tsunami. When the asteroid hit, it set off a series of “cataclysmic” events including global temperature shifts, wildfires and soot-filled air. Researchers believe that the asteroid impact was at least 100,000 times larger than the Tonga volcanic eruption, which was hundreds of times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
- San Francisco’s local government expects to spend up to $1.7 million to build just one public toilet – hardly a drop in the bucket for a city that gets thousands of complaints annually of feces on its sidewalks – and the project will take an estimated three years to complete. City leaders were scheduled to gather on Wednesday afternoon at Noe Valley Town Square to tout their success in obtaining state funding for the pricey toilet, according to a public notice for the event. The facility will reportedly be just 150 square feet in size and won’t be ready for use until 2025, if all goes according to plans.
- Boston University researchers who developed a deadly strain of the virus that causes Covid-19 did not clear their endeavor with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the agency claimed on Monday. The NIAID announced that it would be seeking answers as to why it only learned of the experiment through media reports. The original grant application did not specify that the work might involve gain-of-function-type research, NIAID microbiology and infectious diseases division director Emily Erbelding told STAT News, adding that none of the group’s progress reports mention this crucial detail. NIAID and its parent agency the National Institutes of Health (NIH) partially funded the study.
- Although Iran has survived under sanctions for nearly half a century, the country has shown a remarkable ability to produce, reverse engineer, and develop its own unmanned aerial vehicles. Iran became interested in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones for short, in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). The first family of Iranian drones was the Ababil, which were simple mechanisms called “flying munitions.” Together with reconnaissance UAVs developed somewhat later, they were successfully used on the battle fronts. Virtually all the enterprises in this industry, which are supervised by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), are in one way or another involved in the development and production of UAVs.
- Resignations at the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department have been on the rise over the past two years amid growing crime rates and Democrats’ demands to defund police in the US, Fox News reported. Here’s a closer look into how the “defund the police” mantra has failed to work across the US, including in states that are under the Democrats’ control, in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020.

Data provided to Fox News Digital by the St. Louis Police Department indicates that the force had 1,035 commissioned employees as of Tuesday.
- Marco Polo, a non-profit founded by former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler, has released a 630-page analysis of Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell.” The report provides a roadmap for GOP Congress deputies and prosecutors to pursue charges against President Joe Biden’s son and his business partners. The Ziegler team claims to have found at least 459 legal violations by the US president’s son and his associates. The one-gigabyte report reviews the laptop’s emails, videos, calendar items, photographs, phone records, financial documents and more, while presenting a huge number of screenshots. Hunter’s alleged crimes include serving as an agent for foreign entities without disclosing so, tax fraud, falsifying business documents, prostitution, non-consensual pornography, and distribution of narcotics, according to the reports’ authors. “I’ve been focusing on this for 13 months,” Ziegler told The Daily Wire. “It was really a thing of necessity. I recognized how rich the material was. It requires utter focus.”
- The mechanism explored by the authors of the new research may explain why some of Jupiter’s moons have oxygen but do not host life. The presence of oxygen on exoplanets may not necessarily be a sign of life thriving on those distant worlds, a study published in Science Advances has suggested. Produced in vast quantities by plants and bacteria on our planet, oxygen is vital to life on Earth. The new research, however, points out that this gas is not necessarily produced through photosynthesis, but can also come from an abiotic source. One such source, the researchers postulated, is sulfur dioxide, a substance that can be ejected into the atmosphere during volcanic eruptions and which is found on many planets. Subjected to stellar radiation of sufficient power, molecules of sulfur dioxide could undergo double ionization, which may result in sulfur atoms breaking up, “leaving behind a simple positively charged oxygen molecule O2+”, a press release by the University of Gothenburg noted. That molecule can then be neutralized by receiving an electron from another molecule, thus resulting in the creation of abiotic O2.
