Earth might not be as unique as we think… 🌍 Across the galaxy, scientists have discovered worlds that look surprisingly similar to our own—like TRAPPIST-1e, Kepler-452b, and Kepler-186f 🌌 Some lie in the habitable zone… Some could have liquid water… And some might even have the right conditions

Buffalo plays the Canadian anthem even when Canadian teams aren't present. And when the microphone cut out the people did the job admirably. That's what neighbours do. Buffalo proud. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdFv...

“Putin is forcing propaganda into their schools,” says Russian teacher Pavel “Pasha” Talankin, who personally documented the use of wartime propaganda in the Oscar-winning documentary "Mr Nobody Against Putin."

So far this month, we had 2.4 mm of rain in the central Netherlands, and with no rain in sight, that'll be the monthly total too. That's 94% below average, and about what Chile's Atacama desert gets in April.

China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - 50% higher than the US or Europe. With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices than most Western economies.

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.

NHK World confirms Japan has perfected a process to extract high purity lithium from dead batteries with a 90 percent recovery rate. Great

The Atlantic’s “conveyor belt” is slowing. New observations from 16.5°–42.5°N show a two-decade, basin-wide decline in deep western overturning, the first robust observational evidence that the AMOC is weakening, confirming long-standing model predictions. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A French coder estimates that using Claude Code will account for 1 tonne of CO2 over a year - 10% of the average French individual carbon footprint. We have never encountered emissions-intensive software like this, ever before (with the sole exception of Bitcoin) www.linkedin.com/posts/gwitte...

European power prices are split since the US-Iran conflict. Gas-reliant markets like Italy and Ireland have seen high prices (€140/MWh) while renewable rich regions including Spain, Portugal and Sweden see far lower prices (€40/MWh). These are average wholesale daily prices (8am to 8pm).

This is Belgium’s Pairi Daiza, theworld’s largest solar-covered car park: • 93,000 panels • 40MW • 39,899 MWh/yr • 200,000 m² Proving: you can scale solar without new land, co-locate generation + parking + EV charging, and turn passive infrastructure into energy assets. ⚡ #Bettrification

I'm cringing with embarrassment that an American president wrote this. Absolutely cringing.

NEWS: Iran has rejected all U.S. demands as “unacceptable” and refused to meet American officials in Islamabad, mediators say. Regional ceasefire efforts led by Pakistan have now hit a dead end.

For years, Exxon touted algae as "a potential fuel source" that could help the company "play a bigger role in a cleaner energy future." But new docs show executives knew the project "wasn’t meeting its goals outside the lab, even as they continued to promote it to investors as a potential boon." 😑

University of Oxford : maximising oil and gas extraction here would only save UK households up to £82 (€95) per year. A UK fully powered by renewable energy, would save households up to £441 (€510) a year on energy bills. www.euronews.com/2026/03/27/e...

🇨🇳🇮🇷 Chinese-owned fuel tanker, Bright Gold, passed through the Strait of Hormuz using a route along Iran’s coast approved by Tehran, - Bloomberg It traveled between Qeshm and Larak islands and signaled its Chinese ownership. 🇮🇳 Two Indian gas carriers also used the same route.

The 'green' fuel market supplying Europe with used cooking oil, appears to be rife with fraud. An investigation by SVT has uncovered that the world's largest producer of biofuel for aviation, Neste, is likely receiving virgin palm oil instead of recycled frying oil.

Big Soda and Big Oil want us hooked on plastic. Together, they're working in lockstep to stop "any cap on plastics production," and make sure that efforts to meaningfully address the plastic pollution crisis fail. @joshvoorhees.bsky.social of @fieldnotes.co and @davisallen.bsky.social explain.

I just told BBC News: Energy crises are demand problems, not supply problems. 80% of our energy is fossil fuels, much of it imported, leaving us exposed to price spikes. The only long-term fix: electrify the economy with clean power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUI5...

This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.

Happy #PiDay! Here are some pies to consider: If nothing changes, the remaining carbon budget to stay under 1.5°C, 1.7°C, and 2°C will be used up in 4, 12, and 25 years, respectively. Let’s eat up by setting all the fossil fuels on fire.

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one. #NoBrainer www.theccc.org.uk/2026/03/11/c...

Gas prices jumped again this morning and are on track to double - a stark reminder of our exposure to fossil fuel volatility. The real solution isn’t more drilling, but moving away from combustion: electrify, use renewable power, and boost energy efficiency.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms.  But we will not be silenced. www.greenpeace.org/internationa...
