[6.6] Top climate scientist says 2 degrees Celsius warming limit is no longer achievable — japantimes.co.jp

A new analysis led by climate scientist James Hansen states that the goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius is now "impossible." The study reveals that Earth's climate is more sensitive to greenhouse gas emissions than previously understood.

Hansen's team highlights a decline in aerosol pollution from shipping, which had been reducing warming effects. They predict that temperatures will remain at or above 1.5 degrees Celsius in the coming years, with a rise to around 2 degrees by 2045.

The study warns that the shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could occur within 20 to 30 years, leading to significant sea level rise.

[6.1] Israel prepares for potential Gaza relocation under Trump's controversial plan — apnews.com

Israel is preparing for the potential relocation of Palestinians from Gaza, following a controversial plan proposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump. This plan has faced widespread international rejection, including strong opposition from Egypt, which warns it could destabilize the region.

Trump's proposal suggests temporary resettlement for Palestinians while Gaza is rebuilt, but many fear it could lead to permanent displacement. Egyptian officials have communicated their strong resistance to the plan, emphasizing it violates international law and threatens their peace treaty with Israel.

The situation remains tense, with Hamas condemning the proposal and asserting that any U.S. control over Gaza would be viewed as an occupation. Egypt and several Arab nations have united against the mass transfer of Palestinians, advocating for the establishment of a Palestinian state.

[6.0] New vaccine shows promise in preventing recurrence of advanced kidney cancer — reuters.com

A new experimental vaccine for advanced kidney cancer shows promise, keeping patients cancer-free for nearly four years after surgery. In a small trial, none of the nine vaccinated patients experienced a recurrence, differing from the typical high recurrence rate in standard treatments.

Researchers are now testing a similar vaccine in a larger trial with 272 patients, collaborating with Merck. The vaccine is personalized, using tumor samples to target unique cancer proteins, aiming to enhance the immune response against remaining cancer cells.
