Bowel cancer has previously been associated with problems such as an unhealthy lifestyle and poor diet. Studies also indicate that bowel cancer is linked to specific bacterial communities in the gut econ.st/3PXFrEA

The reason for this trend among the young is unclear, though it fits with a general increase in worldwide cancer cases in people aged under 50 econ.st/3F491St

Because young people are not screened, the real number of under-50s with bowel cancer is probably much higher than the data suggest econ.st/3rGbKyt

Cases in many high-income countries have steadily fallen across older age groups over the past two decades. But there is a peculiar trend emerging among younger people econ.st/3Zz7AoM

Scientists estimate the threshold at which melting ice sheets in both Greenland and Antarctica would accelerate the rise in sea levels is between 1.5°C and 2°C of warming compared with pre-industrial levels. Humanity is skating on thin ice econ.st/3Pwfyub

Bowel cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is the second-most lethal cancer worldwide after lung cancer econ.st/3PVINYF

Should the screening age come down? econ.st/3t7nGcV

Arctic sea ice is clearly in long-term decline, and there is some evidence that future losses have, if anything, been underestimated. The development of a similar trend in the Antarctic could have far-reaching consequences econ.st/3taKHvT

The first ice-free summer month in the Arctic could be experienced in the 2040s, even if the world reduces greenhouse gas emissions quite steeply, according to a recent study published in Nature Communications econ.st/3ZzJY3t

This year’s maximum extent is so remarkably low that scientists have been scrambling for more specific explanations econ.st/3LHEm19
