EMISSIONS: 90% of U.S. cars must be EVs by 2050 to meet Paris goals
The United States is not expected to electrify passenger cars fast enough to stay on track with the Paris climate accord’s goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, according to a new study.
Switching up: Marine bacteria shift between lifestyles to get the best resources
Researchers have found that marine bacteria exploit resource patches efficiently by switching between attached and planktonic lifestyles, and fine-tuning the time spent on patches depending on their quality. Bacteria stayed longer on higher-quality patches, as predicted by patch use theory. Future studies in this area could help to predict the role of marine bacteria in the global carbon cycle.
Unusual climate conditions influenced WWI mortality and subsequent influenza pandemic
Scientists have spotted a once-in-a-century climate anomaly during World War I that likely increased mortality during the war and the influenza pandemic in the years that followed.

UK lockdown and air pollution: Nitrogen dioxide halved but sulfur dioxide doubled
A new study of air pollution in the United Kingdom during the first 100 days of lockdown has revealed that while nitrogen oxide levels were cut by half, levels of sulfur dioxide increased by over 100 percent.

Customizable synthetic antibiotic outmaneuvers resistant bacteria
Antibiotic resistance is one of the world’s most urgent public health threats. In the United States alone, tens of thousands of deaths result each year from drug-resistant strains of common bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecium, which can cause virtually untreatable hospital-acquired infections. Perilously few new classes of antibiotics are being developed to fight infections that have become resistant to traditional treatments, and bringing any new drugs to market could take decades.
Generational shifts help migratory bats keep pace with global warming – EurekAlert
