It appears effective to attack Aedes aegypti by releasing sterile males, infected with Wolbachia bacteria.

What is not yet established is whether it is possible to carry this to the point of total eradication in a region. Mosquitoes evolve quickly; they may evolve resistance to the Wolbachia bacteria's sterilizing effect.

I think it would be wise to hit those mosquitoes with every possible method at once, including draining every puddle they could grow in, applying pesticides, and perhaps also spraying repellents. The faster their population decreases, the less chance they will have to evolve resistance to the bacteria before they are all gone.

Former head of Australian military: Don't use the army to cope with extreme weather disasters, because as those become ever more frequent, the army will become unavailable for fighting.

Rationally, he also calls for Australia to push hard to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He knows that the greatest threat to national security today, for most countries, is global heating.

The institutions and countries that facilitate hiding wealth and property are more important than the rich entities that own some of the hidden property. The US is perhaps the most important of those countries.

It can be effective to defy the state, but when protests' main effect on ordinary people is to irritate them, they are counterproductive. The protesters need to find a method that passersby will applaud once they see what the protest stands for.

Sinema's former supporters confronted her forcefully but nonviolently outside the door of her classroom and from the door of the Ladies Room about her broken political promises to support progressive politics.
