A comprehensive response is better than military action, not least because of the difficulties in putting boots on the ground.
The five-day terror attack on the coastal town of Palma last month once again stressed the severity of the conflict in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province.

A newly discovered bacteria could help offset methane produced by trees and assist in a strategy that could ultimately combat climate change.
It s common knowledge that trees are vital to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Reducing carbon dioxide levels is key in greenhouse gas cutting measures that could mitigate climate change. What is much less well-known is that trees also emit methane a greenhouse gas that on a one-to-one basis can make a greater contribution to climate change than carbon dioxide.
However, a new paper published in the journal
Nature Communications¹ suggests there is a reason why we shouldn t have to worry about trees methane contribution increasing greenhouse gases and driving climate change.
