The wolf of British Columbia is on a quest to master water, fishing and swimming. According to several specialists, the wolf is at the first stage of a process that could turn it into a marine mammal. How will its evolution unfold?

The story of the cross destiny of George Orwell (1903-50) and Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), the genius authors of the two most groundbreaking novels of anticipation of the 20th century: 1984 and Brave New World; two lucid witnesses of the maledictions of the modern world whose novels have found a considerable echo with our time.

Bacteria, viruses, but also fungi, algae, pollen, and even insects: micro-organisms thrive and circulate constantly in our sky. How can so many living beings find their way into the air and circulate? How do they survive? And what influence do they have on our lives and the living world? Biodiversity, health, climate: it is only recently that scientists have begun to understand how this discreet aerial "plankton" affects our lives and our ecosystem. But despite their many virtues, some of these micro-organisms are now threatened by human activities. With the help of experts and 3D models, this scientific investigation plunges us into the heart of a still mysterious world, and reveals the diversity and fragility of the air we breathe.

After WWII had ended, it was realized by the American Allies that there were children whom Hitler trained to be soldiers between the ages of 9-17. They were the "Hitler Youth".

This story recounted by a former "baby cage" prisoner at the age of 92.

Solutions to global warming increasingly come from geoenginering and large-scale climate change research. Despite the science-fiction sounding titles, projects like Stratospheric Aerosols Injections and Marine Cloud Brightening for managing solar radiation and direct air capture (DAC) devices have proven capable to separate and store CO2 from the other gases composing atmospheric air. These technologies open new perspectives and scientists are testing whether by intervening directly on the climate they can slow down or reverse the effects of global warming. How do they work and are they feasible? Do they carry risks for the environment?
