Deep sea mining will poison marine life and the humans who eat marine life
As mining will release toxic sediments and dissolved metals that could be transported through ocean currents over hundreds of kilometres – far beyond mining zone – for several years

Britain just drilled its deepest hole ever, 3.3 miles into Cornish granite, and hit a natural nuclear reactor: rock so radioactive it heats water to 374°F, now powering 10,000 homes around the clock

Oceans Becoming More Acidic
Acidification directly affects things like corals, mollusks, and crustaceans are put at risk, since calcium carbonate they rely on to survive is dissolved by this acid. That can dramatically impact the entire ecosystem of the ocean

Deadly fungal storms are now sweeping the US – and spreading a disease few doctors recognise
Dangerous bacteria or fungal spores can piggyback on dust storm particles, which can then spread them far and wide.

My first Silver-studded Blue Butterfly of the year, at Prees Heath Common Reserve @savebutterflies.bsky.social. There wasn't any out on 24 May, when I looked in sunny weather. Today it was nearly blowing a hoolie, and there was a torrential downpour just over a minute after I took this photo.
My first open winged, Silver-studded Blue Butterfly photo of the year. On Prees Heath Common Reserve. A bit blustery and dull, so not ideal for finding and photographing butterflies.

Solar energy Between the cities of Daejeon and Sejong in South Korea, there is a structure that looks like it came straight out of a futuristic urban planning book: a highway with cars on the sides…
Drilling a really deep hole into the Earth has meant one thing for the better part of a century: somebody thinks there's oil down there. The rigs, the bits,
What is ocean acidification, the phenomenon that is increasing the ocean's hydrogen ion concentrations due to our reliance on fossil fuels?
