The fall of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms Period, and the fall of the Song Dynasty into the hands of the Mongols, corresponded to periods of reduced rainfall, which would have reduced agricultural yields.

A recent study analyzing tree ring data has produced a 3,500-year-long record of precipitation rates on the Tibetan Plateau, which offered scientists a strange perspective on the rise and fall of some of the most powerful Chinese dynasties. The data was extracted from Yilian juniper trees, and showe...

2024 YR4 "is estimated to be about 40 to 90 meters wide," and will have "a more than 1% chance of impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032."

In January, an analysis was released by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) that concluded the planet faced a not-zero percent chance that the asteroid '2024 YR4' would hit the Earth in 2032. It's the first time in years that a near-Earth object has reached a level above 2 on the Tor...

Despite polled travelers saying they want to avoid overtourism, classic destinations like Rome and Tokyo are actually trending towards greater interest from tourists despite these crowds.

WaL reported last year that 2024 was the most touristy year in human history, with many European destinations reeling from overtourism. Residents in Barcelona were actually protesting the crowds, whilst governments across Italy spent 2024 trying to restrict or control them. There's no reason to susp...

6,000 killed and 15,000 injured is leagues higher than any previously reported number.

Israel’s newly appointed Chief of Staff, Major General Eyal Zamir has stated Israel's war dead at 5,942 from the siege on Gaza and short-lived incursion into Lebanon. As is the case in all modern military operations, casualty numbers have been heavily censored or withheld throughout 2024, but mult...

Whether you've ever taken counsel from the USDA guidelines or not, you've likely been exposed to them unknowingly, making the findings all the more worrisome.

Researchers at the University of Ottawa have revealed significant methodological flaws in the systematic reviews used to create the 2020-2025 US Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a series of eating recommendations that, while not consulted by most Americans daily, feed into meal plans and choices in...

"President Donald Trump, we have made a first step, hopefully it can continue,” Maduro said in an annual speech to the judiciary on Friday, when he also talked about looking forward to "new deals."

Despite not recognizing the legitimacy of Nicolas Maduro's third-consecutive term as President of Venezuela, a meeting between Maduro and a Trump-appointed envoy has been concluded successfully, and, perhaps even more surprisingly, warmly. 6 unnamed American citizens have been released from Venezuel...

It's often claimed that exercise on its own is not enough to drive meaningful weight loss—that it has to be coupled with changes in diet and, if possible, lifestyle choices as well.

In a large meta-analysis of 116 randomized controlled trials including over 6,800 overweight and obese patients, exercise on its own was sufficient to drive clinically significant weight loss and body composition improvements, but only when performed at high enough doses and intensity. Aerobic exerc...

The decision to dismiss an Iran hawk and appoint someone who favors leaving the Middle East, could, and likely should be marked as a major point of interest.

On Tuesday, keen-eyed observers of the Trump transition will have marked a potentially seismic shift in the incoming administration's priorities in the Middle East. On Monday, the Senate confirmed Michael DiMino as Deputy Assistant Sect. of Defense for Middle East Policy, a long-winded yet consequen...

None of these individuals maintain current security clearances officially, but the executive order also directs the office of the Director of National Intelligence to investigate existing ties between them and currently-serving members.

Washington is abuzz with the Trump show, and if the new President managed to get much sleep, those attempting to sift through and properly report on his pile of Day 1 executive orders probably didn't. Among the lesser publicized orders was one entitled "Holding former government officials accountabl...

The treaty marks the third such effort by Moscow to improve relations with neighboring countries under the boot of American sanctions.

End of the Empire is a once-monthly feature on all news relating to the transition from the unipolar world of the US Empire to a multipolar world. On January 17th, Russia and Iran signed a mutual cooperation treaty that includes provisions for Western sanctions, security in the Caspian Sea region, n...

There is every incentive for Benjamin Netanyahu to abandon the ceasefire, as his government coalition and plan to ethnically cleanse north Gaza depend on his ability to continue the war.

Both presidents Trump and Biden have taken credit for the long-awaited agreement between Hamas and Israel, brokered by Qatar and the US, for a ceasefire and release of hostages on both sides. The agreement, Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party allies have revealed, allows Israel to recommence its siege....

Turkish President Recep Erdogan has demanded that HTS, having mostly consolidated control over the previous government-held positions, attack and eliminate the SDF immediately.

Further conflict seems inevitable in Syria two months after the collapse of the Assad regime and the rise of the al-Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Reporting from Jason Ditz at Antiwar demonstrates that Israel, HTS, the Kurdish militia known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Turkiye, a...

The new year has seen a renewed effort by the Ukrainian army to advance into Russia's home oblast of Kursk, but commanders admit they've made "very little" progress even as Russia continues to improve its position in eastern Ukraine.

The lifetime risk of dementia after age 55 years climbs over time to as high as 42%, the authors estimate, even if it remains low at 55. No population cohort had a lower than one-third risk of developing dementia throughout their lifetime.

Around 1 million adults in the US are projected to develop dementia each year by 2060, compared with around 514,000 in 2020, suggests a study in Nature Medicine. The study highlights the tremendous burden that aging populations in the US and around the world will place on the generations born today,...

All species of floricans look to dazzle prospective mates with a remarkable courtship display. Standing in high grass, they will leap between 6 and 9 feet off the ground whilst striking a heroic pose.

An endangered bird famous for its elaborate leaping courtship displays is being reared in a special facility where the animals are able to develop their wild instincts. With less than 600 individuals left in the wilds of Cambodia, conservationists have shown that the Bengal florican can successfully...

The inauguration of President Maduro is set for Friday, when the opposition has called for a nationwide campaign to install their figurehead Gonzalez.

Inauguration Day for the President of Venezuela is this Friday, and a somewhat doddering political opponent Edmundo Gonzalez recently stood before reporters in Washington DC and said he would soon be returning to his home country to fulfill his charge as president-elect. Despite what President Biden...

“I found that 72% of Greek centenarians were missing,” Dr. Saul Justin Newman said. “It turns out that thousands of them were collecting the pension while they were dead.

In what is likely to be seen as the health and fitness equivalent of something like the Watergate or Monica Lewinsky scandals of US political history, a demographic researcher has found that famous places around the globe studied for their remarkably high number of residents over the age of 100 are....
