Combien y a-t-il eu de morts à Gaza dans la guerre menée par Israël ? Un fil pour faire un bref point sur ce que l'on sait, et comment on le sait, ou pourquoi il ne faut jamais laisser passer l'expression "les chiffres du Hamas".

Ce fil est basé principalement sur 2 publications scientifiques.

The Israeli Government has made an ad about the Global Sumud Flotilla headed for Gaza, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

Sommes-nous égaux face aux évènements climatiques extrêmes ? Records de chaleurs, inondations et incendies géants… L'été 2025 a été marqué par les évènements climatiques extrêmes. Mais sommes-nous tous autant exposés ?

L'été 2025 a été marqué par les évènements climatiques extrêmes. Mais riches et pauvres sont-ils exposés de la même manière ?

Amorcer la déchéance de nationalité d'un citoyen américain uniquement car... c'est un opposant de gauche qui a des chances d'être élu maire de New-York.

Voici l'intention explicite de l'administration Trump.

Sans exagération aucune : Chaque jour qui passe, la démocratie s'estompe aux Etats-Unis.

Imagine, just imagine, the response from the West if the Iranian government, in international waters, had rammed and then boarded a European ship, filled with European citizens, and taken them captive.

But it's Israel, so it's all good. Our citizens don't matter.

Our study introduces a novel, top–down iterative methodology to generate decadal, high-resolution (1 km) maps of disposable income across Europe for the entire 21st century, fully aligned with the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs).

Until now, most studies have relied on broad proxies like GDP per capita, often overlooking the crucial role of income redistribution mechanisms and their impact on vulnerability.

Understanding future climate risk in Europe requires more than just climate projections—it demands detailed insights into how socioeconomic vulnerability will evolve.

Pollution de l'air : voici son coût astronomique pour la santé et l'économie en France PODCAST - La pollution de l'air est responsable de 45.000 décès prématurés par an en France, mais l'impact ne concerne pas seulement notre santé.

En France, la pollution aux particules fines augmente l'absentéisme des salariés, baisse leur productivité, affecte les consommateurs et nuit in fine aux entreprises.

J'explique les résultats de notre étude menée avec Hélène Ollivier au micro de @vgarin.bsky.social pour RTL: shorturl.at/nbubg

Who's responsible for the climate crisis?

Two new studies try to answer this question: but whichever way we slice it, the answer doesn't change much.

The wealthiest are disproportionately responsible for the greatest emissions, and that's why climate change is so unfair.

🔴New paper!

Next month, the #FfD4 UN conference will try to find resources to finance sustainable development, in the context of plummeting foreign aid.

Meanwhile, I show that extreme poverty cannot be eradicated by 2030 (SDG1) without international transfers.

Bonobos refuse to participate when faced with unequal rewards The question of whether non-human animals have a sense of fairness has been widely debated. Some studies suggest that primates and other cooperative species show an aversion to inequity, while others ...

"Bonobos [one of our closest relatives] refuse to participate when faced with unequal rewards."

The vast majority of people similarly want fairness between us, but almost always end up with leaders who don't.

That mismatch is the single biggest barrier to a better world.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

‘Elle est passée où ta Greta Thunberg ?’

Elle est toujours là, active, à se battre pour le climat. C’est juste qu’elle est aussi contre la colonisation et les gouvernements d’extrême-droite donc quand elle a communiqué sur le genocide en Palestine de nombreux médias ont cessé de parler d’elle.
