Fernão de Magalhães, samozřejmě, vždyť jsme se to tak učili ve škole. Jeden z nejslavnějších a nejlepších, možná dokonce ten nejlepší mořeplavec všech dob. Muž, který zorganizoval a provedl expedici, která jako první v historii lidstva obkroužila planetu kolem dokola. A to je všechno pravda. Ale Magalhães technicky vzato nedoplul. Zato jiní ano.

Yves here. Corruption has become so pervasive in the US that we tend to think of it as driven by money considerations (career advancement is one manifestation). This study of scientists who’ve become so enamored by their supposed discoveries that they resort to destructive conduct doesn’t mesh tidily with our contemporary notions of unscrupulousness. The abusers profiled in The Icepick Surgeon are more hubristic….maybe even meglomaniacal…entranced by their own distorted vision of conquest. They aren’t included in this book, The Icepick Surgeon, but it isn’t a stretch to think that the doctors that devised America’s enhanced interrogation techniques, as in torture, are cut from similar psychological cloth.

China currently releases more carbon emissions than any other country leading many to believe it bears the greatest responsibility for climate change. However, the situation is more complex than it seems.
The accusations keep cropping up when it comes to the debate around climate change: China is the biggest destroyer of the planet, China is the worst country in terms of pollution, China is to blame. But what role does China actually play in climate change?
Since 2008, China has topped the annual list of being the largest emitters of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2), according to Our World in Data, an online scientific publication that Oxford University contributes to. In 2019, China emitted 10.2 billion metric tons of CO2 nearly twice as much as the United States (5.3 billion metric tons) representing nearly 28% of global emissions.
