This is actually incredible. Paraphrasing from the article:

There are non-biological mechanisms they could be derived from, but their preservation might mean hope for finding evidence of life.

Also, finding the longest chain carbon on Mars so far is pretty cool.

This is cool. The Guardian recreated a searchable climate future risk tool (wildfire, extreme heat, drought, hurricane, and coastal flood) for the US that was developed by FEMA but deleted by the Trump administration’s ‘climate’ purge.

It appears from radar imagery that this tornado fortunately did not directly impact Rolling Fork, MS. The tornado has likely dissipated but the storm may be cycling, however, and may produce another tornado farther east.

The end of an era…
The Horstman Glacier shaped generations of skiers and riders, including many POW Canada athletes. Now, Momentum Ski Camps—the last summer ski camp in Canada—is shutting down as the snowpack disappears.

Losing glaciers is a wake-up call. Love winter? Join POW now!

Wild satellite loop of the dust storm currently overtaking the entire state of Oklahoma. Maybe just don't bother going outside this evening. I don't even have allergies, but the dust alone is messing me up. 🥴
