Sådan lyder det i et nyt studie, skriver den britiske avis The Guardian.
Studiet er foretaget af forskere på Institut for Global Bæredygtighed på Anglia Ruskin University i britiske Cambridge.
Det tager udgangspunkt i, at verden bliver ramt af en voldsom finanskrise, ødelæggende klimaforandringer eller en endnu værre sundhedskrise end coronapandemi. Eller af dem alle på samme tid.
Konklusionen er, at øer med tempereret klima og lav befolkningstæthed er de bedste steder at overleve.
New Zealand, der ligger i Stillehavet sydøst for Australien, topper listen. Det efterfølges af Island, Irland, Tasmanien og Storbritannien.

In hindsight, the Climategate hack, clearly timed to disrupt the Copenhagen negotiations, looks like a precursor to the hack that helped shape the outcome of the 2016 election. That’s how John Podesta, the Clinton campaign chairman whose stolen emails were posted on WikiLeaks in the final weeks of the campaign, sees it. The parallels go beyond the hacks themselves. “I think it was the intentionality of influencing the public debate,” he says.
“Climategate”, the 2009 email hack, to me, and a lot of other well placed observers, appears to have been a warm up for the e-mail fiasco perpetrated by Russia in the 2016 election attack.
hope to researchers who
struggled for years to produce treatments that could save millions of lives.
Vaccines take several forms, with some made from bacterial or viral particles treated to prevent virulence, while others consist of inactivated or weaker virus particles.
Yet more are made from components of the pathogen or, like the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, consist of viral vectors that deliver genetic material into the cells of recipients.
Two of the earliest approved and most effective vaccines against coronavirus, from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, are based on mRNA technology.
Unlike other kinds of vaccines, which give the body a weakened or inactive virus to cause the production of antibodies, mRNA vaccines make cells produce a protein that starts an immune response.
The global race to produce coronavirus vaccines, in particular the development of messenger RNA or mRNA technology, has given hope to researchers who have struggled for years to produce shots that could save millions of lives.
