There needs to be more coverage of this in the news. I have read so many stories bout this on Facebook, first hand stories of the terror of that storm, and very little coverage n media.

Screenshot of a Facebook post. Photo is an elderly woman holding a child on her ap on a couch with flood water around them. Both are wearing jackets inside. Text says: This was after our 1st drift.. staying put for awhile. Our 3rd and final drift was terrifying. House moving fast then we started spinning in circles. While we were spinning in circles my oldest daughter was just staring at me while I held onto my younger two. Kipnuk doesn't look like kipnuk anymore, like more than 3/4 of the homes displaced, power poles fallen. It smells like stove oil outside. Contaminated

Young Europeans leave their parents’ home at the age of 26 on average.

However, this varies significantly between EU countries.

According to the latest survey, the youngest Europeans to leave home are, on average, Finnish, at 21.4 🇫🇮 and the eldest are Croatians, at 31.3 🇭🇷

🤒 EUROPE IS MISDIAGNOSED

Blood tests found PFAS in every EU leader tested, proof that pollution runs through Europe’s veins. As calls grow for a full ban on “forever chemicals,” Brussels offers the wrong cure: weaker protections disguised as “simplification.”

Take this for example: the AfD lost plenty of local elections in East Germany.

But it did not make the news.

I recently wrote about how the US natural gas (methane) producers desperately need the world to get hooked on LNG imports. They need new markets for their gas. Why? From @ember-energy.org :

"global gas generation also fell (-6.3 TWh, -0.2%)"

The world is using less gas.

Solar and wind outpaced demand growth in the first half of 2025, as renewables overtook coal’s share in the global electricity mix.
