British Schools Swelter While Oil Executives Capture Carbon Science

As record-breaking heatwaves paralyze UK transport and schools, ProPublica investigations reveal how fossil fuel executives have systematically subverted climate research to promote unviable carbon capture technologies. This metabolic rift extends into the biosphere, where pharmaceutical runoff is detected in Brazilian shark brains and shifting bloom cycles threaten to starve solitary bee populations essential to agroecological health.
