Juice Flair/ Shutterstock\nOn pense souvent que le cancer est une maladie qui affecte les personnes les plus âgées. Mais de nouvelles recherches préoccupantes montrent que le cancer chez les sujets les plus jeunes est un problème croissant. Selon une étude récente, ces trente dernières années, le nombre de personnes de moins de 50 ans chez qui un cancer a été diagnostiqué a augmenté d’environ 80 %.\n \n \nLe type de cancers détectés chez les adultes plus jeunes est aussi un sujet d’inquiétude. En effet, si l’on en croit cette étude mais aussi des travaux de recherche plus anciens, on observe chez les sujets plus jeunes une recrudescence de cancers que l’on considérait jusqu’alors comme spécifique des groupes les plus âgés. Il s’agit notamment des cancers de l’intestin, de l’estomac, du sein, de l’utérus et du pancréas.\n \n \nCes données sont préoccupantes car certains de ces cancers, en particulier les cancers du pancréas et de l’estomac, se caractérisent par un faible taux de survie. Cela s’explique par le fait que ces cancers sont souvent diagnostiqués à un stade tardif. Des travaux de recherche ont également montré que le cancer de l’intestin (il s’agit du cancer du gros intestin appelé aussi cancer du côlon ou colorectal, ndlr) tend à être diagnostiqué à un stade plus avancé chez les adultes jeunes, par rapport aux sujets plus âgés.\n \n \nS’il ressort clairement de cette étude que le cancer est de plus en plus fréquent chez les adultes de moins de 50 ans, les experts manquent de certitudes quant aux causes de cette augmentation.\n \n \nDes cancers d’apparition précoce\n \n \nL’étude a porté sur les cas de cancers chez des personnes âgées de moins de 50 ans (on peut utiliser l’expression « cancers d’apparition précoce ») dans 204 pays et régions du monde. Les données analysées ont été collectées entre 1990 et 2019. Les chercheurs souhaitaient connaître, non seulement l’incidence des cancers d’apparition précoce, mais aussi les types de cancers les plus répandus chez les moins de 50 ans.\n \n \nIls ont constaté qu’en 2019, 3,26 millions de cas de cancers d’apparition précoce ont été diagnostiqués dans le monde, soit une augmentation de 79 % depuis 1990. Les auteurs ont également prédit que d’ici 2030, le nombre de personnes de moins de 50 ans diagnostiquées avec un cancer augmenterait encore de 31 %.\n \n \nLe cancer du sein était le cancer d’apparition précoce le plus fréquent en 2019. Mais c’est l’incidence des cancers de la prostate et de la gorge qui a augmenté le plus rapidement depuis 1990. Le cancer du foie est, quant à lui, celui qui a diminué le plus rapidement au cours de la même période.\n \n \n \n \n   \n     \n      À lire aussi : \n      Cancer du sein : les bénéfices de l’éducation thérapeutique pour les patientes \n     \n   \n \n \n \n \nLe nombre de décès dus aux cancers d’apparition précoce a également augmenté entre 1990 et 2019, mais moins rapidement que le taux de diagnostic. Le nombre de décès a néanmoins atteint 1,06 million dans le monde en 2019, soit une augmentation de 28 %. Les cancers ayant entraîné le plus grand nombre de décès en 2019 sont les cancers du sein, du poumon, de l’intestin et de l’estomac. Le groupe d’âge le plus exposé au risque de cancer précoce est celui des quadragénaires.\n \n \n \n \n   \n     \n      À lire aussi : \n      Cancer du poumon : quand l’hérédité s’en mêle \n     \n   \n \n \n \n \n \n             \n             \n              C’est à la quarantaine que le risque de survenue d’un cancer dit d’apparition précoce est le plus élevé. \n              Shutterstock \n             \n           \n \nEn 2019, le cancer du sein d’apparition précoce était celui qui a pesé le plus lourd pour les femmes, tandis que le cancer du poumon d’apparition précoce était celui a qui a eu le plus lourd impact pour les hommes. Les femmes ont été touchées de manière disproportionnée par les cancers d’apparition précoce, en termes de décès et de dégradation de leur santé, dans les pays à revenus faibles et intermédiaires.\n \n \nL’étude montre également que si les pays développés tels que l’Europe occidentale, l’Amérique du Nord et l’Australasie comptent le plus grand nombre de cas de cancers d’apparition précoce, de nombreux cas ont également été observés dans les pays à revenus faibles ou intermédiaires. Les taux de mortalité étaient également plus élevés dans les pays à revenus faibles ou intermédiaires.\n \n \nLa principale limite de cette publication est la variabilité des données collectées dans les différents pays, ce qui rend difficile leur évaluation de manière exhaustive. Cet article scientifique n’en reste pas moins utile pour établir une photographie de la santé des populations au niveau mondial.\n \n \nDes causes inconnues\n \n \nIl n’existe pas d’explication unique à l’augmentation du nombre de cancers chez les moins de 50 ans. Certains cancers qui surviennent chez des adultes jeunes ont une origine génétique. Mais cela ne représente qu’un petit nombre de cas (environ 20 %).\n \n \nLes facteurs liés au mode de vie, comme les aliments que nous mangeons, la consommation d’alcool ou de tabac et le surpoids, sont tous associés à un risque accru de survenue de nombreux types de cancers. Selon des données issues de la recherche, ces facteurs peuvent contribuer à l’augmentation du nombre de cancers colorectaux précoces, par exemple. On ne sait pas si c’est également le cas pour d’autres types de cancers d’apparition précoce.\n \n \n \n \n   \n     \n      À lire aussi : \n      Quand on a un cancer, quel est l’impact de l’alimentation, du poids, et de l’alcool sur la maladie ? \n     \n   \n \n \n \n \nCertaines personnes atteintes d’un cancer d’apparition précoce peuvent avoir un mode de vie sain. Cela suggère qu’il existe probablement d’autres causes, qui n’ont pas encore été mises en évidence, pour expliquer l’augmentation des cancers chez les adultes de moins de 50 ans.\n \n \nCes recherches montrent clairement que le paysage du cancer est en train de changer. Si l’incidence des cancers d’apparition précoce augmente, le cancer dans ce groupe d’âge reste toutefois beaucoup moins fréquent que chez les plus de 50 ans. Les cancers d’apparition précoce ne représentent qu’un dixième environ des nouveaux cas au Royaume-Uni. Mais même si ces chiffres sont encore relativement faibles, cela ne signifie pas pour autant que la tendance observée n’est pas préoccupante.\n \n \n(Pour la France, l’agence Santé publique France a fait le point sur l’incidence des principaux cancers en France métropolitaine en 2023 et les tendances depuis 1990. Chez la femme, le taux d’incidence « tous cancers » augmente de façon continue depuis 1990. C’est le cas, en particulier, des cancers du poumon et du sein. Chez l’homme, en revanche, après une augmentation entre 1990 et 2006 et une baisse entre 2006 et 2012, ce taux semble se stabiliser depuis 2012. Mais l’agence ne fait pas de focus sur les cancers qui surviennent chez les adultes de moins de 50 ans, ndlr).\n \n \nIl est désormais essentiel de veiller à ce que les cancers d’apparition précoce fassent l’objet d’une plus grande prise de conscience. La plupart des adultes encore jeunes, et même les professionnels de la santé, ne pense pas en priorité au cancer lorsque des symptômes apparaissent. Il est important de consulter son médecin généraliste quand des symptômes surviennent, car la détection d’un cancer à un stade précoce permet d’obtenir un meilleur pronostic.\n \n \n[Plus de 85 000 lecteurs font confiance aux newsletters de The Conversation pour mieux comprendre les grands enjeux du monde. Abonnez-vous aujourd’hui]\n \n \nIl est également nécessaire de mener, en urgence, des recherches sur les cancers d’apparition précoce au niveau national et international. Les causes sous-jacentes sont probablement différentes selon le sexe, l’origine ethnique et le lieu de résidence.\n \n \nAu niveau individuel, il y a beaucoup de choses que vous pouvez faire pour réduire votre risque de développer un cancer. Il est important d’adopter une bonne hygiène de vie. Cela inclut une alimentation saine, l’arrêt du tabac, la pratique d’une activité physique régulière, la réduction de la consommation d’alcool, la protection contre le soleil et le maintien d’un poids correct. Si vous ne vous sentez pas bien dans votre corps ou si des symptômes surviennent, il est important de consulter un médecin dès que possible.\n \nAshleigh Hamilton travaille pour Bristol-Myers Squibb (conférencière indépendante - paiement pour des conférences, présentations, événements éducatifs).  \nElle a reçu des financements pour ses recherches de la part de la division HSC R&D de l'Agence de santé publique d'Irlande du Nord (EAT/5494/18).","link":"https://theconversation.com/pourquoi-les-cancers-sont-ils-en-augmentation-chez-les-moins-de-50-ans-215574","enclosure":null},{"title":"Pourquoi les forêts françaises absorbent de moins en moins de carbone","creator":"","pubDate":"Sun, 15 Oct 2023 11:45:18 +0000","contentSnippet":"La transition écologique s’appuie en partie sur les forêts françaises, mais leur capacité à absorber les émissions humaines de dioxyde de carbone s’effondre depuis une quinzaine d’années.","link":"https://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2023/10/14/pourquoi-les-forets-francaises-absorbent-de-moins-en-moins-de-carbone_6194399_4355770.html","enclosure":{"length":"1337","type":"image/png","url":"https://img.lemde.fr/2023/10/10/125/0/1500/750/644/322/60/0/79346d3_1696947455859-media-appel-forets.png"}},{"title":"Sécheresse : \"Des sources aussi basses, aussi peu d'eau, c'est exceptionnel\", le système D des éleveurs dans les estives pour donner à boire aux bêtes","creator":"","pubDate":"Sun, 15 Oct 2023 11:41:20 +0000","contentSnippet":"Par fortes chaleurs, une vache et son veau peuvent boire facilement 100 litres d'eau par jour.

Deposit Photos \nArtificial intelligence programs’ impressive (albeit often problematic) abilities come at a cost—all that computing power requires, well, power. And as the world races to adopt sustainable energy practices, the rapid rise of AI integration into everyday lives could complicate matters. New expert analysis now offers estimates of just how energy hungry the AI industry could become in the near future, and the numbers are potentially concerning.\n \n \n \n \nAccording to a commentary published October 10 in Joule, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Business and Economics PhD candidate Alex de Vries argues that global AI-related electricity consumption could top 134 TWh annually by 2027. That’s roughly comparable to the annual consumption of nations like Argentina, the Netherlands, and Sweden.\n \n \n \n \n[Related: NASA wants to use AI to study unidentified aerial phenomenon.]\n \n \n \n \nAlthough de Vries notes data center electricity usage between 2010-2018 (excluding resource-guzzling cryptocurrency mining) has only increased by roughly 6 percent, “[t]here is increasing apprehension that the computation resources necessary to develop and maintain AI models and applications could cause a surge in data centers’ contribution to global electricity consumption.” Given countless industries’ embrace of AI over the last year, it’s not hard to imagine such a hypothetical surge becoming reality. For example, if Google—already a major AI adopter—integrated technology akin to ChatGPT into its 9 billion-per-day Google searches, the company could annually burn through 29.2 TWh of power, or as much electricity as all of Ireland.\n \n \n \n \nde Vries, who also founded the digital trend watchdog research company Digiconomist, believes such an extreme scenario is somewhat unlikely, mainly due to AI server costs alongside supply chain bottlenecks. But the AI industry’s energy needs will undoubtedly continue to grow as the technologies become more prevalent, and that alone necessitates a careful review of where and when to use such products.\n \n \n \n \nThis year, for example, NVIDIA is expected to deliver 100,000 AI servers to customers. Operating at full capacity, the servers’ combined power demand would measure between 650 and 1,020 MW, annually amounting to 5.7-8.9 TWh of electricity consumption.

That was stronger than most Wall Street economists had forecasted.\nA Bloomberg survey had expected headline CPI to edge lower, to 3.6% from 3.7%, with annual core inflation falling to 4.1% from 4.3% prior.\n\nWhat they're saying: Despite September's unexpected headline gain, Capital Economics expects a \"downward trend\" to persist in core prices. \n\n\"Overall, there is nothing here that will convince Fed officials to hike rates at the next FOMC meeting, and we continue to expect a more rapid decline in inflation and weaker economic growth to result in rates being cut much more aggressively next year, than markets are pricing in,\" wrote Andrew Hunter, deputy chief U.S. economist, in a note.\n\nIn a related move, the Social Security Administration announced that benefits for over 70 million retirees will rise by 3.2% next year, a smaller boost than the record increase seen in 2023.\n\nSeptember's CPI data was the final data point the SSA needed to calculate the cost-of-living-adjustment, which has helped recipients offset the worst bout of inflation in decades.\n\nEditor's note: This story was updated with additional details.","link":"https://www.axios.com/2023/10/12/cpi-inflation-report-september-2023","enclosure":{"length":"1337","type":"image/jpeg","url":"https://images.axios.com/Nbs88oW-oHx2np6xB7vkwjBFMdw=/2905x2483:2905x2483/1280x720/2023/10/12/1697111827731.jpg"}},{"title":"Climat : la mortalité de la forêt française a bondi en dix ans","creator":"La Croix (avec AFP)","pubDate":"Thu, 12 Oct 2023 12:12:00 +0000","contentSnippet":"La forêt souffre du réchauffement climatique.

Timo Saarinen, Fourni par l'auteur\nLe soleil brille et l’air semble étonnamment chaud alors que nous marchons sur les 35 cm de glace qui recouvrent un lac gelé du centre de la Finlande. Derrière nous, les lourds traîneaux se déplacent aisément, car il n’y a pas beaucoup de neige sur la glace aujourd’hui. Le trajet n’est pas long : nous sommes près de la ville de Kuopio, qui est entourée par le dixième plus grand lac du pays. Malgré une température de -10 °C, je dois enlever mon chapeau – le soleil de ce début mars est déjà chaud.\n \n \nNous ne réalisons pas cette traversée pour le plaisir du sport ou de la randonnée, mais dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche. Nous nous dirigeons avec détermination jusqu’au cœur de l’étendue gelée afin de prélever, au fond du lac, une carotte de sédiments. Cette boue – que les géologues appellent sédiments – s’y dépose lentement. La vitesse d’accumulation de la boue varie considérablement en fonction de la masse d’eau, mais dans cette baie du lac Kallavesi, environ un centimètre de sédiments se dépose chaque année. En toute logique, les nouveaux sédiments se déposent sur les anciens. À la manière d’une machine à remonter le temps, plus on creuse, plus on remonte dans le passé. On peut considérer les sédiments comme des bibliothèques contenant les histoires non racontées d’un lac. Et si l’on peut lire les mots de la carotte sédimentaire, ils racontent des histoires étonnantes.\n \n \nLe lac Kallavesi possède un type de sédiments rare et particulier, appelés sédiments laminés annuellement, ou encore sédiments varvés. Ils se composent d’une alternance successive de bandes claires et sombres, comme les cernes d’un arbre, qui peuvent être comptés à rebours du plus récent au plus ancien. On peut y retrouver celui de son année de naissance – ou celle de votre grand-mère. Ces couches de sédiments permettent de remonter à des milliers d’années en arrière.\n \n \nL’histoire des plastiques enterrée dans la boue\n \n \nMais nul besoin de voyager aussi loin dans l’histoire : c’est la présence de particules de plastique dans les sédiments naturels que nous souhaitons étudier, dans la lignée de nos recherches en cours, notamment publiées dans le Journal of Soils and Sediments en février 2023.\n \n \nLe recours massif au plastique a commencé il y a environ 70 ans. Depuis, neuf milliards de tonnes du matériau ont été produites, dont seuls 12 % sont incinérés, ce qui signifie que 7,5 milliards de tonnes se trouvent encore en circulation : recyclées et réutilisées dans le meilleur des cas, mais on les retrouve également dans des décharges ou enfouies sous terre. Et, au bout du compte, dans la nature et dans les cours d’eau.\n \n \nLe poids de tout ce plastique est supérieur à celui de tous les habitants de la planète : il y a environ 1000 kg de plastique pour chacun d’entre nous, principalement sous forme de déchets.\n \n \nQue ferions-nous, vous et moi, si nous devions chacun prendre en charge notre part de plastique ? Voilà à quoi je pense alors que je fore la glace. La glace épaisse nous sert de plate-forme stable, et nous permet de répartir autour de nous tous nos carottiers, scies, traîneaux, tubes, fils électriques et autres casseroles d’eau chaude. Nous utilisons des tiges métalliques pour pousser les tubes de carottage sur onze mètres au fond du lac, jusqu’aux sédiments. Quelques minutes plus tard, nous soulevons les tubes de prélèvement à la surface. Il est connu que la baie est polluée, mais nous sommes surpris par la forte odeur de pétrole qui se dégage de la carotte.\n \n \nLe plastique étant un matériau très durable, il convient parfaitement comme tube de carottage. Cet avantage représente aussi le pire aspect du plastique : rejeté dans l’environnement, il ne se décompose pas, mais se brise en morceaux de plus en plus petits. Les particules de moins de 5 mm sont appelées microplastiques. Elles ne sont étudiées que depuis 2004, après que Richard Thompson a accidentellement noté leur présence dans les sédiments côtiers près de Plymouth, en Angleterre. Bien qu’il s’agisse d’un domaine de recherche relativement nouveau, nous savons déjà que les microplastiques sont des polluants nocifs qui mettent en danger la vie animale, y compris la nôtre, et qu’ils sont présents partout, du sommet de l’Himalaya aux océans les plus profonds.\n \n \nComme les particules naturelles, les microplastiques sont transportés vers les lacs par les rivières, les pluies et le vent. Ils peuvent flotter à la surface, mais finissent par couler au fond. Là, ils seront lentement enfouis sous de nouvelles couches de sédiments. De quelle proportion a augmenté la quantité de microplastiques présents dans la nature au cours des 70 dernières années ? Pour le savoir, il faut se plonger dans les sédiments.\n \n \nL’art de déchiffrer les couches sédimentaires\n \n \nLa carotte de sédiments de deux mètres est désormais posée sur la table métallique de notre laboratoire. Lorsque nous ouvrons la carotte à l’aide d’une scie, j’en ai la chair de poule : on ne sait jamais à l’avance à quoi ressembleront les sédiments.\n \n \n \n             \n             \n              La carotte du sédiment lacustre révèle des bandes plus claires et plus sombres qui nous permettent de remonter dans le temps. \n              Fourni par l'auteur \n             \n           \n \nLes sédiments sont constitués à la fois de matériaux naturels et de polluants. Les matériaux détritiques (c’est-à-dire provenant de la désagrégation d’une roche préexistante, ndlt) tels que l’argile, le limon et le sable sont entraînés dans le lac par les crues printanières qui suivent la fonte des neiges – c’est la couche claire des sédiments du lac Kallavesi. Plus la couche claire est épaisse, plus la crue printanière a été intense et plus il y a eu de neige pendant l’hiver.\n \n \nLes sédiments contiennent également beaucoup de matière organique, non seulement des plantes déplacées par les rivières et du pollen transporté à travers de longues distances par le vent, mais aussi des algues. Les jours d’été ensoleillés, elles fleurissent à la surface du lac et servent ainsi de buffet au zooplancton qui prospère à la surface. Lorsque ces organismes microscopiques meurent, ils coulent eux aussi au fond de l’eau et se fondent dans la vase.\n \n \nLes sédiments témoignent également des activités humaines. Pour construire un pont ou une route, il faut creuser, ce qui peut accélérer l’érosion des sols. De fait, nos sédiments montrent des couches claires qui peuvent atteindre plusieurs centimètres d’épaisseur. On retrouve aussi de nombreux polluants enfouis dans les sédiments : nous avons découvert des traces de métaux tels que le mercure, le cuivre, le plomb et le zinc, ainsi que des fractions d’hydrocarbures et des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP), qui présentent un risque écologique et sont potentiellement dangereux pour la santé. Nombre d’entre eux sont liés à la combustion de combustibles fossiles. En plus de ce cocktail chimique, les sédiments ont aussi été nourris par de grandes quantités de microplastiques.\n \n \nParfois, j’ai l’impression de retomber en enfance : jouer dans l’eau et la boue était mon plus grand plaisir pendant les vacances d’été. Aujourd’hui, mes activités ne sont pas très différentes : récolter de la boue, la traiter de différentes manières, la mettre dans toutes sortes de tasses et de machines. Je rentre souvent à la maison avec des vêtements couverts de taches. La différence, c’est que désormais je planifie mes sessions de jeu plus en détail, après avoir passé des semaines en laboratoire à préparer l’analyse des sédiments.\n \n \nDeux pas en avant, un pas en arrière\n \n \nNos résultats préliminaires montrent que les quantités de métaux lourds et de fractions pétrolières ont considérablement diminué depuis les années 1970. C’est une bonne nouvelle, car cela signifie que nous avons compris la dangerosité de ces produits chimiques et que nos actions en faveur de la préservation de la nature ont porté leurs fruits. Malheureusement, ce n’est pas le cas des microplastiques : leur présence dans les sédiments augmente avec le temps.\n \n \n \n             \n             \n              Gros plan sur des sédiments lacustres révélant un nombre élevé de particules microplastiques. Nombre d’entre elles proviennent de plastiques à usage unique qui se retrouvent dans l’environnement. \n              Fourni par l'auteur \n             \n           \n \nLes matériaux les plus souvent retrouvés sont le polyéthylène, le polypropylène et le polystyrène, souvent utilisés pour les produits dits à usage unique tels que les emballages. Dans les couches annuelles, on distingue immédiatement les années 2011-2013, qui ont été marquées par d’importants travaux de construction et de dragage dans le port. Durant cette période, un grand nombre de microplastiques sont présents, avec une grande diversité dans les matériaux.\n \n \nAvec des informations aussi détaillées, nous commençons à comprendre comment les activités humaines ont une influence directe sur les microplastiques dans l’eau. À l’avenir, nous voulons comprendre comment toutes sortes de polluants déjà présents dans la nature peuvent se fixer sur les particules de microplastiques, et ce qui se passe lorsque ces particules sont consommées par le plancton, le zooplancton et la faune qui vit au fond des lacs.\n \n \nIl y a encore beaucoup de choses que nous ne comprenons pas sur les microplastiques et les risques qu’ils posent, mais nos connaissances s’améliorent avec chaque carotte de sédiments. Ce n’est pas du gâteau. Sauf à considérer qu’il s’agit d’un gâteau de boue…\n \n \n \n \n \n             \n             \n               \n               \n             \n           \n \nCréé en 2007 pour accélérer et partager les connaissances scientifiques sur les grands enjeux sociétaux, le Fonds Axa pour la Recherche a soutenu près de 700 projets dans le monde entier, menés par des chercheurs originaires de 38 pays.

It is published in partnership with the Economic Hardship Reporting Project.\n \n \n \n \n“We’ve got ourselves a little monster out there,” anchorman Jim Cantore warned, facing the camera in the Weather Channel’s newsroom on a sultry August weekend in 1992. At first, few in Florida were paying attention. “It’s very hard to get people to believe that there’s some danger from some element of nature that they haven’t experienced before,” a reporter told Cantore, as the channel played tape of tranquil beaches and neat vacation homes. \n \n \n \n \nAs the storm approached Florida, it gained the moniker Andrew, rapidly intensifying into a Category 5 hurricane as it exceeded wind speeds of 165 mph. Karen Clark watched updates on TV from her home in Boston with fascinated horror — and her career on the line. \n \n \n \n \nMost insurance companies at that time assessed hurricane exposure in their portfolios by simply multiplying customer premiums by a rough factor of supposed risk, rather than tracking actual property replacement costs. “They were just very crude formulas,” she said. \n \n \n \n \nSo in 1987, Clark had started her own company, Applied Insurance Research, or AIR, to develop software that better estimated the potential losses from catastrophic events. Unlike the rest of the industry, she used granular data and sophisticated analyses, an approach now called catastrophe modeling. Her first computer model estimated that a Category 5 hurricane hitting Dade County could cause losses almost 10 times more than previously believed. She warned her customers about the risk in Florida, but until Hurricane Andrew, no one listened. “The good ol’ boys at Lloyds [of London], you know, they thought they had it all figured out,” she said. “They didn’t need any help from this American woman carrying around a little computer.”\n \n \n \n \nAn image of Hurricane Andrew as it hits southern Florida in August 1992. Getty/Stocktrek\n \n \n \n \nBy that Sunday morning in 1992, it became clear that Andrew’s eye was aiming straight for Miami. Clark rushed into the AIR office, where her models suggested that the storm could cause at least $13 billion in damages — a disaster so expensive at first she debated whether she should publish the results. \n \n \n \n \nAs the hurricane made landfall the next day, it tore palm trees from the ground and stripped roofs from houses, carving a devastating path across southern Florida. Over 100,000 homes were damaged, and an additional 50,000 were destroyed. When a client called asking about his probable losses, Clark told him around $200 million dollars. “He said, ‘For the industry?’ and I was like, ‘No. For your company.’” AIR’s estimates turned out to be conservative: Andrew eventually cost the insurance industry $15 billion. \n \n \n \n \nIn the aftermath, Clark said, “everyone knew the market was going to radically change.” The catastrophe models she developed quickly became the industry standard, changing how American companies navigated risk from natural disasters. \n \n \n \n \nIn hindsight, it was the beginning of the dynamic now driving insurance markets. To handle massive payout events like Andrew, insurance companies sell policies across different markets — historically, a hurricane wasn’t hitting Florida in the same month a wildfire wiped out a town in California. They themselves also pay for insurance, a financial instrument called reinsurance that helps distribute risk across geographic regions. Reinsurance availability remains a major driver of what insurance you can buy — and how much it costs.\n \n \n \n \nA shopkeeper clears floodwater from her store in Brooklyn, New York on September 29 after heavy, overnight rains inundated parts of the city. Ed Jones / AFP via Getty Images\n \n \n \n \nBut as climate change intensifies extreme weather and claims pile up, this system has been thrown into disarray. Insured losses from natural disasters in the U.S. now routinely approach $100 billion a year, compared to $4.6 billion in 2000. As a result, the average homeowner has seen their premiums spike 21 percent since 2015. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the states most likely to have disasters — like Texas and Florida — have some of the most expensive insurance rates. That means ever more people are forgoing coverage, leaving them vulnerable and driving prices even higher as the number of people paying premiums and sharing risk shrinks. \n \n \n \n \nThis vicious cycle also increases reinsurers’ rates. Reinsurers globally raised prices for property insurers by 37 percent in 2023, contributing to insurance companies pulling back from risky states like California and Florida. “As events are getting bigger and more costly, that has raised the prices of reinsurance in those areas,” said Carolyn Kousky, the associate vice president for economics and policy at the Environmental Defense Fund, who studies insurance. “It’s called the hardening of the market.” \n \n \n \n \nIn a worse-case scenario, this all leads to a massive stranded asset problem: Premiums get so high that property values plummet, families’ investments dissipate, and banks are stuck holding what’s left.   \n \n \n \n \nMore simply, the global process for handling life’s risks is breaking down, leaving those who can least afford it unprotected.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe idea of distributing risk has been around since the 14th century, when insurers of trading ships wanted someone to share the uncertainties of long sea voyages. Modern reinsurance was established in 19th century Europe, which some historians credit to large fires in Hamburg, Germany, and Glarus, Switzerland, where significant losses led to the founding of many of today’s leading reinsurance companies.\n \n \n \n \nThese companies were also some of the first to issue warnings about climate change. Back in 1973, Munich Re, one of the world’s major reinsurance firms, noticed a spike in the number of flood damage claims. In a prescient report, the company noted “the rising temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere,” due to the “rise of the CO2 content of the air, causing a change in the absorption of solar energy.”\nNow, the world is reaping the consequences of that change. In the last decade, the frequency of global natural catastrophes jumped by 28 percent. On a single day in July, 60 percent of the U.S. population faced an extreme weather alert. Costs have catapulted too: Since 1970, losses from disasters increased an average 5 percent a year, particularly in the United States. That’s because damage also depends on vulnerability and exposure — where people live, and how prepared they are. Tragically, the fastest-growing counties also face some of the highest risks. “It doesn’t have to be one of these huge events,” said Alice Hill, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who studies climate consequences. “It’s [also] successive events, back-to-back,” like the 12 atmospheric rivers that hit California this winter.\n \n \n \n \nA firefighter walks by a house as it burns during the Kincade Fire in Healdsburg, California in October 2019. Josh Edelson / AFP via Getty Images\n \n \n \n \nReinsurers are particularly exposed to these hazards because many insurance companies seek primarily to cover catastrophic risks — major events like hurricanes that are intensifying as the world warms. In a letter to shareholders this summer, Christian Mumenthaler, the group CEO of global reinsurance company Swiss Re, wrote, “Climate change continues to take its toll … across multiple geographies.” \n \n \n \n \nAs a result, the reinsurance industry has paid dearly for much of the last decade; underwriting losses drove $115 billion in global reinsurance losses in 2022. “There’s a tension over a business model that’s retrospective, with a risk that’s emerging,” said Frank Nutter, president of the Reinsurance Association of America. The financial foundation of insurance, in other words, is cracking. \n \n \n \n \n“Without global reinsurance, we wouldn’t have the capacity to provide sufficient disaster coverage for everyone,” Kousky said. “It’s essential.” But unlike insurers, who face political pressures from state regulators to keep rates affordable, reinsurance is much more of a free market. A recent report from Moody’s finds that reinsurers are reacting by raising their rates, limiting their coverage, and even deciding to reduce their exposure in places like Florida. Increasingly, the reinsurance industry is reassessing what are known as “secondary perils,” or things like flooding and wildfires — hazards that were previously less costly than major events like hurricanes, but which are becoming more common. \n \n \n \n \nBecause getting risk wrong is now so costly, there’s been a race in the private sector to model future odds. Jenny Dissen works at the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies, a research institute that’s part of NOAA’s Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth System Studies. She says she frequently fields calls from insurers eager to know the latest climate indicators. Yet critics worry this rush to fine-tune risk predictions may potentially accelerate skyrocketing premiums. Since many are proprietary, the accuracy of these assessments can be difficult to vet. They are also having unintended consequences, like lowering municipal bond ratings, hindering governments’ ability to respond to extreme weather by raising funds. \n \n \n \n \nInsurance adjustor Pablo Jimenez, of Liberty Mutual Insurance, tallies property damage in Nederland, Colorado following a July 2016 wildfire. Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post via Getty Images\n \n \n \n \nSome believe that an individual focus is likely not the best — or most equitable — way to address climate adaptation. “Many of these adaptation steps are like a kind of public good,” that can’t be taken on an individual level, like building a seawall, said Madison Condon, Boston University law professor and corporate and environmental law professor. “They work best if everyone takes them.”\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe economic implications of all this are troubling. A new report by the U.S. Treasury Department, released at the end of June, found major gaps in the supervision and regulation of insurers. The report advised much closer attention to “the risks the insurance industry may pose to the overall financial sector.” \n \n \n \n \nWhile insurance prices have soared, a recent report from the nonprofit First Street Foundation estimates that 39 million homes are covered at prices artificially lower than their true risk. The authors suggest that state regulations capping premiums and government-backed insurer-of-last-resort programs have concealed the extent of the crisis. They predict that as disasters continue surging, what they call the “growing climate bubble in the housing market” will pop — leaving millions of homes uninsurable and destroying their value. The average homeowner who loses an insurance policy automatically sees a drop of more than 10 percent in the home’s value, the report notes. “If the value of their home plummets or if the credit agencies downgrade their communities,” Hill said, “one of my big fears is we’re going to have a lot of people trapped in places that are unsafe, economically trapped.” \n \n \n \n \nA sign in Fort Myers, Florida warns passerbys to leave damaged home furnishings alone following Hurricane Ian in October 2022. Joe Raedle/Getty Images\n \n \n \n \nSuch concerns prompted the Treasury Department last year to require 213 large insurers — companies like Allstate and Farmers Insurance — to provide data about their homeowner policies. Its initial goal was to collect information about coverage, claims, and premiums by zip code to identify where climate change may disrupt markets. The plan faced fierce opposition from the industry, which says it’s a regulatory burden and that disclosing this data may harm companies’ competitive advantage. Results are not anticipated in 2023, and will not include other common types of insurance impacted by climate, like flood insurance — which is often covered in a separate policy from homeowner’s insurance. \n \n \n \n \nThis spring, one of the largest insurance brokerage companies warned Congress they weren’t moving fast enough. “Just as the U.S. economy was overexposed to mortgage risk in 2008, the economy today is over-exposed to climate risk,” Aon PLC president Eric Anderson told Senate budget committee members. Yet there appears to be little federal urgency in addressing the problem. \n \n \n \n \nExperts warn that increasing prices may tip homeowners toward default as more insurers flee. At least five major companies have stopped writing coverage in some regions. State Farm announced this spring that it would stop selling homeowners’ policies in California. The company cited “rapidly growing catastrophe exposure, and a challenging reinsurance market.” Allstate also quietly stopped writing new policies in the Golden State in June. In Louisiana, where at least 20 companies have left in the last two years, the situation has gotten so bad the state passed a $45 million funding bill in 2023 in an effort to woo insurers back. \n \n \n \n \nThough government has been slow to address these trends, global financial markets are already basing investment decisions on climate risks. Major ratings companies like Moody’s and McKinsey have recently purchased climate data firms. First Street Foundation, for example, provides climate risk information to many banks, major reinsurers, and government agencies — including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are already using it to screen for mortgages’ climate exposures. Mortgage-purchasers like these, after all, are the ones who may soon be left holding the ashes of assets.\n \n \n \n \nTobe Magidson of Grizzly Flats, California sits at a remembrance event to mark the six-month anniversary of the Caldor Fire that destroyed his town.

Francine Orr / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images\n \n \n \n \nMeanwhile homeowners, many of whose mortgages require insurance, are left with limited options. After six property insurance companies in Florida declared bankruptcy in 2022, for instance, many property owners had to turn to state-run insurers, like Florida’s Citizens Property Insurance Corp., a government-backed entity serving otherwise uninsurable populations. Although its policies tend to be less comprehensive than private insurance, in the last year, its ranks swelled about 50 percent, to around 1.7 million people. Yet this year, as Florida’s reinsurance rates skyrocketed 30 to 50 percent, even these last-resort policy rates spiked 12 percent, leaving many families to weigh whether they can afford to keep their insurance. \n \n \n \n \nIf the state is hit by a major hurricane, the program has grown so large the resulting claims could outstrip Citizens’ budget. The program can’t go out of business like a private company, but if it runs out of money, Florida law allows Citizens to issue one-time bills charging customers up to 45 percent of their annual premium. Someone who just lost their home in a hurricane, in other words, could be facing a surprise bill of thousands of dollars.\n \n \n \n \nNot only is that bad for the families whose losses aren’t protected, it deepens existing inequities. Right now, the insurance market is unintentionally protecting wealthy property owners while socializing their risk through highly subsidized premiums. The federal government holds the liability for the majority of flood insurance, for example, managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Repeatedly flooded properties make up just 1 percent of the program’s policies but account for more than 30 percent of the claims. “When the government’s the backup insurer, the taxpayers have to support that,” Hill said.\n \n \n \n \nTwo out of every three American homes are now underinsured, meaning owners may face major financial losses if they were to endure a disaster. The effects won’t be felt equally. There can be an inherent tension between climate-related financial risks and anti-redlining efforts: People of color who have long suffered discrimination are now disproportionately living in areas at greater danger of disaster. That makes it difficult to both price climate risks and not divest from underserved communities.\n \n \n \n \nDespite being one of the first to understand these perils, insurers continue to contribute to them. They’ve played a major role in emissions for decades: Without insurance, fossil fuel companies have difficulty obtaining financing. Coal is an apt example of what happens when insurers withdraw from a market — since 45 insurers are phasing out of coal policies, construction of new coal-fired power declined by 84 percent between 2015 and 2018. \n \n \n \n \nBut insurers have been slower to move away from oil and gas, in part because it’s a larger part of many companies’ business. In June, the Senate Budget Committee sent letters to major insurance companies asking for information about how much each company earns from the fossil fuel industry. “[I]t is difficult to understand how the industry can carefully price and manage climate risk in some areas of its business,” committee members wrote, “while simultaneously having no apparent plan to phase out its underwriting of and investment in the projects and companies generating the emissions that are causing these very harms.”\n \n \n \n \nWorkers clear debris and attempt to save client records at an insurance office in south Nashville, Tennessee in 2010 after 13 inches of rain fell over two days and inundated whole neighborhoods. Rusty Russell/Getty Images\n \n \n \n \nPrompted in part by concerns over this kind of liability, the reinsurance industry has begun warning about the need to reduce climate risk. “The economic and insured losses over time are a clear indicator that the past is not a representation of the future,” said Raghuveer Vinukollu, head of climate insights at Munich Re US. Physical mitigation, like building flood walls and buffer zones will be needed, he says, but funding and building these engineering measures can be difficult.\n \n \n \n \nWith insurers themselves running out of insurance options, the stability of financial systems is far shakier than many realize. Yet the federal government hasn’t developed a national adaptation plan that comprehensively addresses these concerns. In its absence, decisions are left to municipal and state governments, some of which are facing serious blowback. When Hawai‘i recently attempted to increase setbacks for future oceanfront construction, for example, citing immediate sea-level rise, homeowners managed to stall the plan. Experts like Condon call for a centralized national climate service that can help guide these adaptations and regulatory policies, based on transparent and specific risk assessments.\n \n \n \n \n“If you want to know the truth, the science is the easy part,” Karen Clark said. Getting people to change their behavior, on the other hand, is difficult. She is still working on catastrophic modeling, now at her eponymous firm, where she urges decisionmakers to get more realistic, and quickly. “People don’t understand a basic economic law — there’s no free lunch. There’s a risk,” she said. “Somebody’s paying for it. It’s just a question of who.” \n \nThis story was originally published by Grist with the headline As climate risks mount, the insurance safety net is collapsing on Oct 10, 2023.","link":"https://grist.org/economics/as-climate-risks-mount-the-insurance-safety-net-is-collapsing/","enclosure":null},{"title":"Europe: feu vert pour le commissaire climat, malgré son passé chez Shell","creator":"Ludovic Lamant","pubDate":"Tue, 10 Oct 2023 12:13:54 +0000","contentSnippet":"Le Néerlandais Wopke Hoekstra a été validé jeudi au Parlement européen pour devenir le nouveau commissaire au climat, malgré son passé chez Shell et McKinsey.

Joe Raedle/Getty Images\n \nUnder towering palms and tangled mangroves, coil-shelled creatures slowly crawl across damp leaves and mossy rocks. As these invasive snails take advantage of the hot, wet ambiance of southern Florida, they leave glistening trails of slime across backyards, parks, forests, and gardens. The Sunshine State is a paradise for snails from other parts of the world who are being shipped in for the pet trade, outcompeting native species, spreading disease, and wreaking havoc overall.   \n \n \n \n \n“Florida has become a hotspot for invasive snails because of its tropical climate in the south end and enormous amount of freshwater springs for aquatic species,” says Lori Tolley-Jordan, an invertebrate zoologist at Jacksonville State University who specializes in freshwater invertebrate biodiversity. “While Alabama has the most diversity of [freshwater] snails, Florida’s environment and climate temperatures are very suitable for land and aquatic snails because it is not much different than their homes in southeast Asia and other tropical areas.”\n \n \n \n \n[Related: Experience the uncomfortable weirdness of a snail eating fruit]\n \n \n \n \nIn turn, visitors like the giant African land snail from East Africa, one of the largest snails in the world, have found Florida to be a home away from home. As wide as the size of an adult hand with a unique brown lined shell, they make for a charismatic terrarium pet and are available for sale on websites like Amazon. That means they typically arrive through one of the 16 seaports in Florida that aid the multi-billion-dollar wildlife trafficking business. “It’s one of the largest ports of entry into the US,” Trolley-Jordan says.\n \n \n \n \nExotic apple snails are outcompeting their local relatives in Florida. Dorit Bar-Zakay/Getty \n \n \n \nSome time after an imported species like the giant African snail or potted apple snail arrives at its new home, the buyer may decide to release the snail into the wild, thinking it’s the humane thing to do. However, the critters become an issue with their ability to spread quickly and quietly, munching on essential plants and crops along the way. \n \n \n \n \n“One of the [indicators] for species that are the most invasive, if anything, is their ability to reproduce quickly,” says Trolley-Jordan. \n \n \n \n \nThe giant African snail first came to Florida in the 1960s. It was forcibly wiped out from the state in the 1970s, but made a comeback through seaports in 2011. As the population expands its range, it has begun to impact the environment and the survivability of its native counterparts, including the Florida apple snail. With the ability to populate quickly, a hermaphroditic giant African snail or dioecious exotic apple snail can produce as many as 500 eggs every one to two weeks. Inversely, a native apple snail needs to find a mate to reproduce as little as 20 eggs per clutch every few weeks. \n \n \n \n \n“There are several species of non-native snails in Florida, but most of them are locally restricted and have been confined in Florida for decades. So they only have gotten out by people having them as pets,” says Robert Fletcher, a professor in wildlife ecology at the University of Florida and principle investigator of a snail kite monitoring research team. “But, the [exotic apple snail] is a different story.” \n \n \n \n \nA snail-sized apocalypse\n \n \n \n \nAs the alien snail species pump out numerous eggs, their sticky capsules become sneaky stowaways, clinging to unsuspecting humans and animals that whisk them away to new areas. Within weeks, the newly hatched babies will overwhelm their surroundings. \n \n \n \n \n“Even if a person hasn’t released that species, that species can happen to be found on other plants when they are being sold or moved around that their eggs are attached to,” Trolley-Jordan says. “Either intentionally or unintentionally, they move everywhere.” \n \n \n \n \nAn employee of the Florida Department of Agriculture shows eggs of the giant African snail near the inspection ground in New Port Richey, Florida on July 21, 2022. Chandan Khanna/AFP via Getty Images \n \n \n \nAlready, shady exotic drifters like the trumpet snail and island apple snail have extended their ranges and colonized new ecosystems in multiple parts of the US. They also end up bringing extra company with them: parasites. Notorious for pathogens, species like the trumpet snail serve as vectors for the lung fluke, a flatworm that causes meningitis-like symptoms in humans and can sometimes be deadly to wildlife. Meanwhile, the giant African land snail carries roundworms, which can trigger intestinal issues. \n \n \n \n \nThe devastation wrought by these snails can be felt up the food chain, too. Non-native apple snails, for example, are outcompeting Florida apple snails, which are the primary food source for Everglade snail kites. This highly specialized bird of prey has been on the federal endangered species list since the 1960s, and has a relatively small population that is confined to southern Florida. The kite uses its unique hook-shaped beak to pry open snail shells, and has just started to crack into the larger invasive apple snails.\n \n \n \n \n“There are lots of concerns about whether or not this non-native snail is going to further contribute to the decline of snail kites, and maybe push it to the brink of extinction,” says Fletcher. “[But] we have seen so far that this non-native highly invasive snail has essentially provided a Band-Aid for the snail kite.”\n \n \n \n \nWith the non-native apple snails increasing more rapidly than the native one, Fletcher says that his research team thinks it’s possible the invasive prey is “playing towards the increase in sort of the reversal of this population trend” in the snail kite—a glimmer of hope for the species.\n \n \n \n \nEverglades snail kites are adapted to feeding on local apple snails, but have since expanded to eating several exotic species. Scott Suriano/Getty Images \n \n \n \nAs the battle for holding the balance between native and nonnative species in Florida continues, another slimy creature may soon enter this picture and add to the damage. “The assassin snail could wipe out entire populations of Florida’s unique spring snails if introduced,” says Tolley-Jordan.\n \n \n \n \nThe bumble bee-striped assassin snail doesn’t have an appetite for the plants in Florida like the apple snails, but will prey on smaller native species like Florida apple snails. It currently ranks as a top predator in its homeland of Malaysia, and will likely make its way to Singapore, a hotpot of global transport of invasive species, Trolley-Hordan notes. The zoologist has no doubt that it would thrive in the “Lion City” and New Zealand. \n \n \n \n \n[Related: Researchers release more than 5,000 snails in the Pacific]\n \n \n \n \nAs far as experts know, the assassin snail hasn’t entered Florida yet. But it’s a rising star on the pet market, so it might only be a matter of time. \n \n \n \n \nDoing the detective work\n \n \n \n \nOne way scientists are able to determine if an invasive critter is getting too cozy in the Sunshine State is through environmental DNA or eDNA. For early detection, they can take water samples and look for traces of a specific species genetic material. The tool has been used in other parts of the US such as in the Mississippi River to detect black carp and the New Zealand mud snails. \n \n \n \n \nEradicating snail squatters can be tricky: Once they’ve spread through an ecosystem, they can be hard to find, catch and prevent from reproducing. This June, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services began to treat in Broward County and other southern properties such as in ​​Broward County for giant African snails with a pesticide called metaldehyde, a.k.a. snail bait. Once applied to crops and certain residential areas, the pesticide works by interfering with a snail’s ability to make mucus, ultimately impacting its mobility and digestion. Within days the target dies from dehydration. Officials also use specially trained canine units to sniff out the offenders.\n \n \n \n \nLorenna Dewitz, an employee of Florida Department of Agriculture, handles a trained dog Mellon, as he sniffs and searches for the giant African snails in New Port Richey, Florida on July 21, 2022. Chandan Khanna/AFP via Getty Images \n \n \n \nPrevention through early detection, public outreach, and ecological management has proven to be the best strategy against the Sunshine State’s slimy epidemic. But of course, the best way to keep Florida from being taken over by alien snails is for pet owners to make smarter decisions, both for themselves and for the local wildlife and environment. “The public oftentimes is just not aware,” Trolley-Jordan says, “ It’s one of our biggest problems.”\n \nThe post Invasive snails are chomping through Florida, and no one can stop them appeared first on Popular Science.\n \nArticles may contain affiliate links which enable us to share in the revenue of any purchases made.","link":"https://www.popsci.com/environment/invasive-snails-florida/","enclosure":null},{"title":"Crèmes solaires, pesticides, hydrocarbures...

The trade group paid an undisclosed amount to 10 registered dietitians, as well as a physician and a fitness influencer, to use their social media accounts to help blunt the WHO’s claims that aspartame, a mainstay of Diet Coke and other sodas, is ineffective for weight loss and “possibly carcinogenic.” \nThe campaign, which the beverage group acknowledged organizing, highlighted a little-known tactic the multi-billion dollar food and beverage industry is using to sway consumers faced with often-contradictory health messages about popular products. \nThe food, beverage, and dietary supplement industries are paying dozens of registered dietitians that collectively have millions of social media followers to help sell products and deliver industry-friendly messages on Instagram and TikTok, according to an analysis by The Examination and The Washington Post.\nThe analysis of thousands of posts found that companies and industry groups paid dietitians for content that encouraged viewers to eat candy and ice cream, downplayed the health risks of highly processed foods and pushed unproven supplements  – messages that run counter to decades of scientific evidence about healthy eating. The review found that among 68 dietitians with 10,000 or more social media followers on TikTok or Instagram, about half had promoted food, beverages or supplements to their combined 11 million followers within the last year. \n\n\nThe hashtag #safetyofaspartame has been spreading on the social media accounts of health professionals.\nWhile some dietitians noted in their social media posts that they were part of paid partnerships, their relationships with the food industry were in many cases not made explicit to viewers, the analysis found. The Federal Trade Commission advises all social media influencers to be clear about who is paying them for promotions. \nThe strategy of enlisting dietitians on social media has allowed the industry to extend its vast reach and promote often questionable nutrition advice to new generations of teenage and Gen Z eaters and millennial parents accustomed to finding news and health advice on social media. By paying registered dietitians – health professionals who specialize in nutrition – the food industry is moving beyond the world of ordinary online influencers to harness the prestige of credentialed experts to deliver commercial messages.\n“They’re getting these dietitians to essentially do their marketing for them,” said Marlene Schwartz, the director of the University of Connecticut’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Health. \nAmerican Beverage said the dietitians who participated in its campaign adequately disclosed their relationships to the trade association by flagging the posts as paid partnerships or listing the #safetyofaspartame hashtag or the safetyofaspartame.com website, which includes the American Beverage logo at the bottom of the page. Out of 35 videos, 11 specifically named the association or “AmeriBev” as the partner at the time the videos were first posted, according to the beverage group.\nA spokesman said the campaign was warranted because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other health authorities have said aspartame is safe and disagreed with the WHO’s warnings.\n“The registered dietitians and nutritionists we relied on shared their own informed opinions when communicating the facts to their audiences, and were up front about being paid,” said William Dermody, an American Beverage spokesman.\n\n\n\nGrasso declined to comment. Harbstreet and Phipps didn't respond to phone calls, emails and a letter. After inquiries from The Examination and The Post, Harbstreet’s Instagram posts were changed to include “Paid Partnership with AmeriBev.”\nIn comments on several of the posts, viewers expressed confusion about who sponsored the videos and whether the dietitians were being paid to defend aspartame. \nIn the video that Phipps posted on her Instagram account “milknhoneynutrition,” she included the phrases “Paid partnership,” #ad and #safetyofaspartame. When a viewer posted a comment on the video asking Phipps who her “paid partner” was, Phipps acknowledged it was American Beverage and said any suggestion that “I would compromise my professional ethics for money is insulting.”\nAnother commenter replied, “You’re insulted, but I’m disillusioned.”\nEncouraging followers to eat sugar and candy\nMost of the 78,000 dietitians and nutritionists in the United States aren’t social media influencers. Many work in hospitals, departments of health, and private practices, and their median annual salary is $66,450, according to 2022 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.\nWhile the dietitian influencers contacted for this article wouldn’t say how much they are paid for sponsored posts, several said that companies generally pay a few thousand dollars per video and that offers could be as high as tens of thousands of dollars for creators with the biggest social media audiences. \nRegistered dietitian Lindsay Pleskot, of Vancouver, British Columbia, has posted videos of herself eating ice cream and peanut butter cups while telling people that denying themselves sugary food will only make cravings worse. \nThese and other posts were paid for by the Canadian Sugar Institute. The trade group, which is funded by sugar producers, includes the videos on its Instagram page. \nIn one video, Pleskot held a glazed donut and chocolate chip cookie, and she mocked advice to reduce sugar intake. She said the “best” ways to cut sugar are “with a knife, with my hands, even with my teeth.” \nIn the description next to the video, she wrote, “dietitian approved.” \nLater in the post, it said “(AD),” to indicate it was a paid advertisement. After inquiries about the partnership, the posts were updated with “CdnSugarNutr,” which is the instagram account for the Canadian Sugar Institute. \nIn an email, Pleskot said she “initially” had concerns about working with the sugar group, but that she has full control over her posts, which reflect her belief in “removing guilt and shame around food.”  She wrote that “all collaborative content has been the same messaging I have shared organically for years.”  \n“My integrity is most important to me,” she said.\nAnother dietitian with a large social media following, Jenn Messina, of North Vancouver, posted a video on Instagram where she added a lollipop to a dinner plate. She told parents the strategy will “prevent sweets obsession” and help kids develop healthier relationships with food. In another Instagram video, she told parents they can make Halloween less stressful by allowing kids to eat as much candy as they want when they’re done trick-or-treating.\n“This helps decrease the stash and makes it less of a ‘big deal,’” she wrote in the text alongside the video. “Yes, they may barf. That’s a great life lesson.” \nMessina also was paid by the Canadian Sugar Institute, which she disclosed on her posts and in an interview. Messina said that, while her advice is “nontraditional,” her goal is to help parents. \nThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that too much added sugar can contribute to obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. \nMessina declined to say how much the sugar institute pays her for sponsored videos. She said she pitches ideas for videos to the institute but has “full say” on what she posts. “I don’t work with any industries that tell me what to say or how to say it – it has to be 100 percent my voice, or I won’t do it,” she said. \nSince last year, the sugar group has paid at least a dozen registered dietitians to post videos about sugar on Instagram. \n“If your kiddo is obsessed with sweets they likely need MORE access to sweets rather than LESS,” Messina wrote in one sponsored Instagram post. \nThe Canadian Sugar Institute said dietitians often come to the group for help expanding their reach and that the institute does not tell them what to say. \n“As with any dietitian activity, social media posts are based on each dietitian’s authentic interests, experience and independent evaluation of the evidence,” said Chiara DiAngelo, a registered dietitian and director of nutrition communications for the sugar institute, in an email.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe analysis by The Examination and The Post also found that dietitians have been paid to tout the benefits of dietary supplements that lack scientific consensus, including products like collagen supplements promoted for skin, nail and joint health; detox teas that claim to help the body expel toxins; and capsules marketed for “mitochondrial health.” \nCinthia Scott, an Augusta, Georgia-area dietitian who has more than 300,000 followers on Instagram, encourages parents to give what she calls “brain boosting” omega-3 fatty acid supplements to children as young as 6 months old. In the text adjacent to her post Scott wrote, “Paid partnership with carlsonlabs.” Carlson Labs is an Illinois-based supplement company. \nThe American Academy of Pediatrics warns that such supplements are not approved by the FDA. “Their contents may not match what is listed on the label,”  the academy says. “Adverse events are not always reported either.” \nSchwartz, the University of Connecticut nutrition expert, said she found it “particularly egregious” that a dietitian would try to convince parents to give their children unproven supplements. “It’s just so incredibly unfair to parents who are trying to get clear information,” she said. \nCarlson said the dietitians it sponsors make their own assessments before giving endorsements. “Carlson is committed to partnering with knowledgeable and respected professionals in relevant fields who use their expertise ethically and transparently,” the company said in a statement. Scott did not respond to emails, phone calls and a letter. \n\n\n\nLack of clear disclosure ‘bad for consumers’\nRegulators have struggled to keep up with the rapid rise of the online influence industry, experts say. \nThe Federal Trade Commission instructs influencers who are paid to create sponsored messages to say clearly in both their videos and in the text of their posts that they have a financial relationship with the brand they’re promoting. \n\n\nOne example of how a paid partnership was disclosed on a TikTok video post.\nFew of the dietitians in the analysis said in their actual videos that their posts were advertisements. Instead, in the text accompanying their videos, they used terms like #ad, #sponsored or “Paid partnership.” \nMichael Ostheimer, an attorney for the FTC’s division of advertising practices, said a key test is whether the sponsorship would surprise consumers and affect their opinion of the message’s credibility – what the agency refers to as an “unexpected material connection.”\n Of the 33 dietitians who posted paid content to their millions of followers, about half (17)did not clearly disclose their sponsorships in at least one of their posts. Another two placed disclosures deep in the descriptions.\nAmerican Beverage’s campaign with dietitians is a case that would require clear disclosure, according to Bonnie Patten, executive director of Truth in Advertising, a nonprofit group that combats deceptive marketing. \n“Would you expect that a dietitian would be partnering with the soda industry?” Patten asked. “Those are the most important kinds of disclosures that we need.” \nIn 2020 the FTC sent 10 warning letters to influencers, including rapper Cardi B, for not disclosing paid social media ads for a tea marketer. The tea company agreed to pay $1 million to settle charges that it misled consumers and didn’t adequately disclose payments to social media influencers. \nBut aside from periodic sweeps against deceptive conduct, the commission does not have the resources to comprehensively enforce behavior within a continually expanding online marketplace, said David Vladeck, former head of the commission’s bureau of consumer protection and now a Georgetown University law professor. \n\n\nComments on social media posts show confusion about what paid sponsorships mean.\n“When you don’t have sufficient enforcement, companies think they can get away with it,” Vladeck said. “No one on either side of the table thinks the FTC has the resources to really police this marketplace. And that’s bad for consumers.” \nThe Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the trade group that oversees registered dietitians, has a code of ethics that says that dietitians should disclose conflicts of interest and avoid “accepting gifts or services which potentially influence or which may give the appearance of influencing professional judgment.” \nLauri Wright, the academy’s president, said the group educates its members “so that dietitians know what that line is and how not to cross that line.”\nThe academy has a board of ethics that reviews allegations that dietitians have violated its ethical code and can impose penalties, including revoking a dietitian’s license if it finds that a violation took place. So far, the board has not received any complaints about social media activities, Wright said.\nClose ties between the food industry and dietitians\nThe food and beverage industry has for years nurtured a close relationship with the academy, which has accepted millions of dollars in donations from leading producers of soda, candy and ultra-processed foods, including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Nestlé. \nThe academy has allowed these companies to provide continuing education courses to its dietitians and has invested in food industry stocks. Two of the academy’s current sponsors are American Beverage and Tate & Lyle, one of the world’s largest producers of high-fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners. \nSome dietitians have questioned the relationship between the academy and big food and beverage companies. In response to a 2013 report that investigated the academy’s industry ties, more than a dozen registered dietitians formed Dietitians For Professional Integrity, a group that advocated against what members saw as compromising financial ties to the food industry.\nAlthough the group raised these concerns from dietitians directly with the academy – an early petition garnered over 24,000 signatures – the group disbanded in 2018.\n“Fundamentally, I think it really fell on deaf ears throughout the time that we were advocating for this cause with the academy,” said one of the group’s cofounders, Elizabeth Lee, a registered dietitian and health educator at Stanford Medicine.\nWright, the president of the nutrition academy, said in an email that its leaders “communicated often” with Dietitians for Professional Integrity when the group was still active, and that the academy has a “stringent process for reviewing, approving and rejecting potential corporate sponsors.”  She said sponsorships represent less than seven percent of the academy’s revenue, and that “sponsors do not influence the academy’s positions.\"\nIn the vetting system for sponsors, the academy looks “at the mix of products\" a company sells, Wright said. The beverage industry “sells so much more than just soda.\" \nPaid partnerships with food brands and industry groups\nDietitians who boast large social media followings said that brands are eager to recruit them, flooding them with offers to pitch products.\n\nAmong the most popular is Grasso, with a combined following of 2.4 million on TikTok and Instagram. In her videos, she dances and lip syncs to pop music while preparing recipes or dresses in different outfits, such as red for blood sugar or blue for insulin, to explain nutrition concepts. Her goal, Grasso writes on her website, is to use her “expertise and comedy to provide evidence-based nutrition advice and debunk trending nutrition myths.”\nGrasso has parlayed her popularity into endorsement deals with numerous food and dietary supplement companies. \nIn recent months, she has posted sponsored TikTok and Instagram videos for brands including Barilla pasta, Bush’s Beans, KIND Snacks, Orgain collagen powders, Hint Water flavored beverages, and Tree Top apple sauce. In these ads, Grasso flagged the posts as paid partnerships and tagged the brands in her captions. \nShana Minei Spence, a dietitian with more than 265,000 followers on Instagram, eats pizza, French fries and ice cream in her social media videos to illustrate that no foods should be stigmatized. Spence, who works for the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, describes herself as “pro-processed foods.” \nSpence said she partners with companies that share her values and turns down about 90 percent of sponsorship offers she receives. “I work in marginalized and food insecure neighborhoods, which is why I am passionate about de-stigmatizing processed foods,” she wrote in an email.\nSpence said she has been paid by the Japanese multinational food company Ajinomoto for a video debunking concerns about the flavor enhancer MSG. Spence didn’t say in the video that the message was sponsored. The caption says #AjiPartner. A spokesperson for Ajinomoto said that dietitians were essential to its campaign because of their “ability to communicate science credibly.” \nSpence has also posted on TikTok for a Dave’s Killer Bread snack bar. “Just keep them at your desk,” she said. In the caption she wrote #ad, the brand name tagged the post as a “Paid partnership.” Dave’s Killer Bread did not respond to questions.\n In April 2022, PepsiCo paid Spence to teach a webinar to other dietitians entitled “Unpacking Preconceptions About Packaged Foods,” she said. Registered dietitians who participated received continuing education credits. \nIn the webinar, Spence disputed health concerns about processed foods. “What we have to do as dietitians, as health professionals, is really debunk some of this information,” she told her listeners.\nIn an interview, Spence said PepsiCo had no role in shaping her presentation. She declined to say how much the company paid her for the event. PepsiCo didn’t respond to a request for comment.\nMonica D’Agostino, a New York dietitian with more than 740,000 followers on TikTok, said in one video that she gets a barrage of offers to pitch “greens powders,” dietary supplements that are widely promoted with unproven claims and haven’t been well studied.\n\nIn her video, D’Agostino said she would never “blindly promote” the powders because the blends of ingredients aren't always clear. She jokingly lamented her professional ethics, “because there is a check behind those powders.” \nD’Agostino, who didn’t respond to requests for comment, said in the video that if she took the money she was offered to promote the supplements, she could afford to buy eight $1,450 designer Saint Laurent handbags and give $549 Apple Airpods Maxes to twenty of her friends.\n“I could be like Oprah with my friends: One for you, one for you, one for you,” D’Agostino said. “This is just me showing you – there is money behind those greens powders that are being marketed to you.”\nAbout this story\nThis report is a joint investigation by The Examination and The Washington Post.

Data fact-checking by Hayden Godfrey from the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University.\n\n\nThe Examination and The Post analysis included registered dietitians on Instagram and TikTok who used “Registered Dietitian,” “RD” or “RDN” in their account name or social media bio as of July 2023 (social media users can adjust these fields at any time). The analysis included only those who had at least 10,000 followers (the lower threshold for what is typically considered a “micro-influencer”), had created at least 10 posts over the last year, and had posted English-language content.\n\nThis identified 68 influencers. Reporters archived all posts between July 1, 2022, and Aug. 1, 2023, generating a database of over 6,000 pieces of content.\n\nTwo reporters separately reviewed each influencer’s posts to identify instances when the dietitian at least once promoted a product, brand or industry-sponsored message. This included using a “Paid Partnership” tag on the post, mentioning personalized discount codes or writing “#ad” or “#sponsored” in the post description. These criteria were selected based on the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines for social media influencers.\n\nReporters manually reviewed feeds and defined posts as having an unclear disclosure if the post (1) was promotional but had no clear disclosure, (2) was labeled as an ad but the brand sponsoring the post was unclear (e.g. the use of a vague “partner” tag instead of a brand mention), or (3) had a sponsorship disclosure but the “ad” mention was placed deep in the description of the post.","link":"https://www.theexamination.org/articles/the-food-industry-pays-influencer-dietitians-to-shape-your-eating-habits","enclosure":{"length":"1337","type":"image/gif","url":"https://a.storyblok.com/f/212662/676x451/474f6c370c/dietitian-influencers.gif"}},{"title":"Shrinking fish drive decline in size of animal and plant species, says study","creator":"Patrick Greenfield","pubDate":"Fri, 15 Sep 2023 12:37:38 +0000","contentSnippet":"Analysis of thousands of species finds some invertebrates and plants also getting smaller, while others are increasing in body size\nA global analysis of thousands of animal and plant sizes has found that species are shrinking, an effect most clearly found by researchers in changes to the body size of fish, which are getting smaller.\nSpecies such as the thorny skate, a north Atlantic fish that can grow up to a metre in length, have become smaller, while smaller-bodied species such as mackerel are growing in abundance, according to the researchers, changing the composition and functioning of ecosystems.\n Continue reading...","link":"https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/07/climate-change-drives-shrinking-size-fish-invertebrates-plants-science-aoe","enclosure":null},{"title":"In our blood: how the US allowed toxic chemicals to seep into our lives","creator":"Kyle Bagenstose","pubDate":"Fri, 15 Sep 2023 12:30:42 +0000","contentSnippet":"Experts say that the majority of the 86,000 consumer chemicals registered with the Environmental Protection Agency have never received vigorous toxicity testing\n• This article is co-published with the Examination, a new non-profit newsroom specializing in global health reporting\nFor decades, it was the secret behind the magic show of homemaking across the US.

Why is this considered acceptable?\nWhen The Banshees of Inisherin became such a hit last year, I couldn’t help wondering if one of the reasons it was resonating so powerfully was that – despite being set on a fictional island off the coast of Ireland in the 1920s – it was essentially about ghosting. A man stops talking to his friend without explanation, and the emotional fallout is devastating.\nIn the 1920s, ghosting a close friend would indeed have been shocking. Ghosting as a social move was pretty much unheard of into the 2000s. Remember that 2003 episode of Sex and the City where Carrie is outraged that Jack Berger breaks up with her via Post-it note? “I’m sorry. I can’t.
