Australia’s bushfires widened the ozone hole

The smoke from the huge forest fires in Australia in 2019-2020 caused the ozone hole over Antarctica to grow by ten percent.
That’s what researchers warn about in a new study published in the journal Nature, writes TT.
During the fires, over a million tons of smoke were pumped into the atmosphere.
The ozone hole was created as a result of human pollution. In recent decades, global agreements have given the ozone layer a chance to heal.
The researchers behind the new study are now worried that more frequent forest fires, as a result of climate change, could slow that recovery.

“Scary cancer” discovered in Sweden

It is not only bigger and stronger than the Swedish crayfish – it is also more aggressive.
Larger marten kill more prey than it eats. Now the invasive species has been discovered in Vättern’s beach zone, writes TT.
When the predatory marl invades, several local species often decline sharply, or disappear. It has already caused concern in Britain and Germany.
“The probability that it will spread around large parts of Lake Vättern within a few years is unfortunately high,” says Ulf Bjelke, limnologist at the SLU Artdata Bank in a press release.
Eradicating the animal is considered impossible – however, it is possible to avoid spreading to other waters.
“Make sure your fishing gear and bath toys are dry and clean before using them in another body of water,” says Lina Tomasson, coordinator for invasive alien species at the Norwegian Sea and Water Authority.

For the second night in a row, a large crowd has gathered in protest outside Georgia’s parliament in Tbilisi.
Around 10,000 protesters on site already in the late afternoon, writes the BBC.
According to the news agency Reuters, the police used tear gas, water cannons and stun grenades to disperse the crowd.
The many protesters oppose a new “Russian” bill that is about to be passed. The new law will force NGOs and media to register as “foreign agents” if they receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad.
It is called the “Russian law” after Russia introduced a similar proposal in 2012.
– We are under direct attack by the government. It is very clear that more and more people realize that this is scary and that they have to fight for their future, says one protester.
77 people were arrested after Tuesday’s protests, according to the country’s interior ministry.

Spat on goods – had to throw away 60 kilos of snacks
A woman in Førde, Norway, went berserk inside a gas station this weekend. The woman was so furious that she started spitting in the supermarket’s loose candy boxes, among other things, writes the Norwegian Dagbladet.
But that was not all, the woman also reportedly threw bowls on the floor and tore down shelves.
– She found some dressing bottles on the table and started walking around the store and throwing dressing here and there, says store manager Bjørnar Skildheim to the Norwegian Dagbladet.

If you can usually hear the signal, but did not hear it this Monday, you should contact your municipal rescue service. They are responsible for operation, maintenance and testing of the system!
Why does your reporter write that one of the convicted perpetrators in the “bathhouse assault” in Lund is a “Swedish rapper”?
Don’t you understand that this provokes us readers, and further stokes xenophobia, as it indicates that you think certain groups must be protected?
Call a spade a spade!
The key
Nah, don’t really understand Knixen, what’s provocative about that?
And what on earth does that have to do with xenophobia?
“Rap” is a way of vocalizing to music rhythms. Here you can read more about it.
But for seventeen thugs: Are there neither journalists nor proofreaders anymore?
In the article “Erik, 49, was abused in front of his children – two men are sentenced” it is written that the sentence is a mockery, the victim had expected at least four to six years in prison. But nowhere is it mentioned what the verdict was. Two years? Six months? Nobody knows, because Aftonbladet’s so-called journalists can no longer write.
Arvid
Hi Arvid! Both men were sentenced to one year and nine months in prison each.
Here is a link to the text.
Hi, why aren’t people born abroad who have committed crimes in Sweden deported?
