NBC reports that potentially deadly infections from
a flesh-eating bacteria could increase as climate
change continues to warm the world's oceans.
According to a study published in 'Scientific Reports,'
infections caused by Vibrio vulnificus on the East Coast
of the United States could double in the next two decades.
The study suggests that warmer sea temperatures allow the bacteria to thrive in waters where it has never been able to survive in before.
NBC reports that the findings
highlight the connection between
human health and the health of the planet. .
There are these complex interactions
between the environment and agents
of disease, and it’s important to
be aware of the way the world is
changing and how these changes
are driving risks to human health. , Elizabeth Archer, lead author of the study and postgraduate
researcher at the University of East Anglia, via NBC.
According to the researchers behind the study, V. vulnificus
responds to minor shifts in temperature, making it , "a sort of barometer of what’s going on in coastal
areas because it is so environmentally sensitive.”.
The team projects that the bacteria will
continue to advance further northward up the
coast, eventually reaching New York by the 2040s.
Dr. Louise Ivers, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, points out that while V. vulnificus infections are very rare, they are also devastating.
NBC reports that such infections are both difficult and
expensive to treat, with one study finding that V. vulnificus
treatments cost an estimated $28 million per year. .

The US has opened its first permanent military garrison in Poland. It follows last year’s pledge by President Joe Biden to establish a permanent base – America’s first on NATO’s eastern flank – in Poland following Russia’s invasion of neighbouring Ukraine. The new facility, considered the eighth US permanent military base in the European continent, will be located near Poznan, on the banks of the Varta River in western Poland. The garrison at Camp Kościuszko, is named after the 18th-century hero who fought for both Polish and US independence.

for Children's Rights in the Russian
Federation, is wanted for the same crimes.

Russia is not one of these countries,
so it is unlikely Putin will be extradited.
However, it could affect his ability to travel since other nations could assist in arresting him.
Andriy Kostin, Ukraine's Prosecutor General, called the warrants "historic for Ukraine and the entire international law system.".
