焦点：欧州近海で記録的な海洋熱波、生態系と伝統漁業に壊滅的打撃

How Europe's Intensifying Marine Heatwaves Threaten Its Fisheries How Europe's Intensifying Marine Heatwaves Threaten Its Fisheries World Maritime How Europe's Intensifying Marine Heatwaves Threaten Its Fisheries By Ben Welsh, Simon Jessop and Kate Abnett LONDON, Sept 26 (Reuters) – As drought spread and wildfires raged across Europe this summer, the extraordinary heat didn’t stop at the shoreline.
How Europe’s intensifying marine heatwaves threaten its fisheries
As drought spread and wildfires raged across Europe this summer, the extraordinary heat didn’t stop at the shoreline. European waters notched their hottest summer months since satellite sensors began providing reliable data in 1982, according to a Reuters analysis of temperatures recorded at the seas’ surface. Records fell from the English Channel to the Mediterranean Sea.

アングル：Ｇ７が直面する政府債務膨張、利回り上昇で財政と経済成長を圧迫
Ｇ７のロゴ。2023年5月、新潟市で撮影。REUTERS/Issei Kato [ロンドン／ニューヨーク／東京 ２０日 ロイター] - 米国の政府債務残高が初めて４０兆ドルを超えた。これは高齢化への対応、気候変動対策、防衛費増額など世界の主要国が拡大し続ける歳出需要の重圧に直面している現状を浮き彫りにしている。 今年はイランでの戦争によってインフレ再燃への懸念が高まったほか、欧州で激甚化する異常気象による被害も各国財政への新たな負担となりつつある。 こうした状況を背景に、米３０年国債利回りは２００７年以来の高水準に上昇し、政府は借入コスト上昇を抑制する対応を迫られている。日本の国債利回りも約３０年ぶりの高水準圏にあり、比較的債務負担の軽いドイツでさえ、利回りは１１年以来の高水準に達した。...
Tracking the pain in G7 government debt
By Yoruk Bahceli, Ben Welsh, Dhara Ranasinghe and Rocky Swift By Yoruk Bahceli, Ben Welsh, Dhara Ranasinghe and Rocky Swift LONDON/NEW YORK/TOKYO, August 20 (Reuters) - U.S. debt has topped $40 trillion for the first time, underscoring the pressures on the world's major economies to fund ever-increasing spending demands -- from ageing populations to climate change and defence.
Under pressure: Tracking the pain in G7 government debt
By Yoruk Bahceli, Ben Welsh, Dhara Ranasinghe and Rocky Swift LONDON/NEW YORK/TOKYO, August 20 (Reuters) - U.S. debt has topped $40 trillion for the first time, underscoring the pressures on the world's major economies to fund ever-increasing spending demands -- from ageing populations to climate change and defence. This year, the Iran war has rekindled inflation risks, while damage wrought by Europe's increasingly volatile weather is a further strain on public finances.
No World Cup match so far has reached FIFA's extreme heat threshold
A Reuters analysis found that none of the 94 World Cup matches played so far reached FIFA's threshold for extreme heat, the point at which cooling breaks are mandatory and matches may be postponed, delayed or cancelled. However, FIFA and the global players' union FIFPRO use different benchmarks for heat risk. The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
アングル：ＡＩブームを巡る「熱狂」と「不安」 株高騰の一方で大量失業懸念も
「チャットＧＰＴ」「クロード」、「ジェミニ」のアイコン。6月5日撮影。 REUTERS/Dado Ruvic [ロンドン １０日 ロイター] - 人工知能（ＡＩ）ブームを背景に、世界の株式市場は過去最高値圏に上昇し、巨大テック企業は新技術への投資に数千億ドル規模の資金を注ぎ込んでいる。一方で消費者や労働者、企業は、「チャットＧＰＴ」や「クロード」に代表される生成ＡＩがもたらす存在論的ともいえる問いに直面している。 一部のアナリストは、ＡＩが生産性を押し上げ、企業収益を拡大させるとみている。半面、ＡＩによって大量失業が発生し、一部産業そのものが消滅するようなディストピア的未来を警告する声もある。 そうした中、イーロン・マスク氏率いる宇宙開発企業スペースＸを巡る投資熱は、１１日にも予定される新規株式公開（ＩＰＯ）を前に一段と過熱する。 ＡＩブームが引き起こしている主な「熱狂」と「不安」をまとめた。 ＜ＡＩ関連投資で株価高騰＞ ＡＩブームは株価にとって追い風となり、中東紛争がもたらしたリスクを相殺し、世界の株式市場を過去最高水準へ押し上げてきた。...

Some analysts say Artificial Intelligence will boost productivity and make businesses more profitable.
Introducing the Reuters Climate Monitor
Today, I'm happy to launch the Reuters Climate Monitor, a live data dashboard that aims to track the slow-moving impact of climate change at the speed of the news. This is the first in a series of steps that Casey Miller and I are taking to supply the scientific context that's too often missing from news coverage of extreme heat. It all started when our executive editor, Simon Robinson, challenged my group to improve our coverage of fast-moving catastrophes.
How we automate the news
I'm today's guest on the Data Journalism Podcast, where I joined Scott Klein and Simon Rogers to discuss the state of our shared vocation. I talked up how Reuters reporters are inventing a new approach to breaking news by automating coverage of news-making data. As an example, I walked through how we attacked oil prices and public opinion polls in the early hours of the Iran war, a topic I addressed in a deck I presented at a recent Reuters town hall.
