A new study reported a 15% underestimation of the global CO2 uptake (by the ocean) in previous estimates. This underestimation is particularly significant in the Southern Ocean. 🌊🧪
New study by Dong et al. shows that #bubble-mediated #CO2 transfer favors invasion based on field evidence. They introduce an asymmetric #BulkFlux equation, suggesting that the global #ocean may absorb ~15% more #CO2 than previously estimated.

In September, I went to Greece to report on its rapid move away from coal.

Despite getting ~50% of power from coal a decade ago, it'll be coal free next year. Solar is booming.

It's a stunning shift — but not without challenges for Greece's coal region.

Next year, Greece will complete its coal phaseout, a success for the energy transition. But Western Macedonia residents feel left behind.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ Sources in Britain 🇬🇧 say Bloomberg will soon release more of the Steve Witkoff call.

👉 If that drops, it will further weaken Trump’s already shaky chances of quick peace for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and hand another gift to the butcher in the Kremlin.

Awesome headline.

The country barely occupying 1/5 of Ukraine is threatening war with Europe.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine 🇺🇦 because it wanted war.

Today, Russia does not want peace.

Peace talks are merely a delay mechanism.

👉 Putin will not stop until he is stopped. We must support Ukraine 🇺🇦.

President Trump appeared to struggle to stay awake at a White House event for a second time in a month on Tuesday, as his Cabinet officials provided updates on their work.

During a roughly 75-minute stretch, Trump's eyes were closed or he visibly struggled to keep them open. https://wapo.st/4ovQTFo

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

Probably for the same reasons he's blocking the release of the unredacted Epstein files.
