Objective, factual news you can rely on. Or at least as close to it as you can get in this day and age.

Rules

No name-calling, trolling, ad-homs, personal attacks, strawmanning, or disrespectful or abusive behavior toward any other member. Egregious use of logical fallacies will be considered trolling and dealt with accordingly.

This should go without saying, but any homophobia, transphobia, racism/sexism/any kind of -ism is not allowed. “It’s just a joke” is not an excuse. Any sort of needling to try to convince the mods or anyone else to accept such behavior is not acceptable either.

Please respect our community and don’t use it to post spam, porn, gore, or any other disruptive content.

Posts can only be links to reputable news sources. Sources that are or at least try to be objective are the only ones allowed. Propaganda rags like Breitbart and RT are not allowed.

The only exception to this rule are meta posts discussing serious issues with the sub itself, and for those:

Any meta threads or discussions, suggestions, etc. needs to be tagged with [Meta] in the title, that way it’ll be easier for mods to find. If you have any issues with another member or what-have-you, please message a mod.

Please for the love of all that is holy, don't argue with mods in the comments. If you have an issue, take it to DMs.

Rules subject to change based on need.

Air pollution linked to rise in antibiotic resistance that imperils human health (www.theguardian.com)

Air pollution is helping to drive a rise in antibiotic resistance that poses a significant threat to human health worldwide, a global study suggests.

The analysis, using data from more than 100 countries spanning nearly two decades, indicates that increased air pollution is linked with rising antibiotic resistance across every country and continent.

It also suggests the link between the two has strengthened over time, with increases in air pollution levels coinciding with larger rises in antibiotic resistance.

“Our analysis presents strong evidence that increasing levels of air pollution are associated with increased risk of antibiotic resistance,” researchers from China and the UK wrote. “This analysis is the first to show how air pollution affects antibiotic resistance globally.” Their findings are published in the Lancet Planetary Health journal.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the fastest-growing threats to global health. It can affect people of any age in any country and is already killing 1.3 million people a year, according to estimates.
