People's fear of the climate crisis has been emphasized by a newly launched report by the World Economic Forum, titled Global Risks Perception Survey 2023 , as "natural disaster and extreme weather events" and "failure to mitigate the climate crisis" are ranked among the top-five severe global risks over the next two years. Moreover, climate-mitigation failure is ranked as the most severe risk over the next decade, followed by “failure of climate change adaptation”, “natural disasters and extreme weather events” and “biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse”. In short, four out of the top-five global risks in the next decade are linked to climate and environmental issues.

An alien -believing professor is set to search the Pacific Ocean for another potential craft from another world. Harvard Professor Avi Loeb famously declared that the 2017 interstellar visitor Oumuamua – estimated to have measured up to 3,000ft long – could have been a probe sent by an extraterrestrial civilisation. “Within a couple of months, I will be leading an expedition to collect the fragments of the first interstellar meteor.

Dr Steven Cohen, who owns wellness clinics in California and London , claims he is coming tantalizingly close to harnessing stem cell therapy that can de-age people. He claims the technology — which involves injecting people with exosomes, small vesicles that are naturally produced by stem cells — is just five years away and could revolutionize the anti-aging industry. Other scientists have suggested people could one day live to the age of 200 and are exploring technology like pills to flush out 'zombie cells' and ways to tweak DNA to extend someone's lifespan. Dr Cohen said: 'The ability to prolong or delay aging sounds like science fiction — but it is just around the corner and will soon be available.
