Groundwater pumping leads to irreversible compression of the land strata, causing the land surface to sink.

Why sinking cities may now be a bigger climate crisis than rising seas | BBC Science Focus Magazine
A hidden force is causing highly populated river deltas to sink. In many cases, the subsidence is happening faster than the sea is rising

Arctic security can only be achieved together.
This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies.
The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July.
A deal is a deal.
And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise.
Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

Three of the top five British grid electricity records smashed in 2025!
This is a huge success story, despite what Russian bots and U.S fossil fuel shills scream on X.
Every unit of clean domestic energy we produce means a safer future for our children…🥳

Happy orbit completion day everyone!
May 2026 be the year fossil fuels finally go into terminal decline, and we start to heal the climate rather than destroy it.

Mega heat pumps are coming. It’s great to see that so many projects are now underway around the world.
There’s a real competition on who builds the biggest heat pump.
Technology has come a long way and keeps getting better.

What looks like ‘overdiagnosis’ is really a system struggling to provide continuous care
Diagnosis rates are rising because the NHS pathway is overwhelmed and fragmented, not because distress is being exaggerated.

Human rights aren’t abstract ideals. They’re essential safeguards that protect our dignity at work, our privacy at home, our children at school, and the most vulnerable in society. But some want to weaken the UK’s commitment to human rights – the frameworks that guarantee our everyday protections.

The More We Study Forests, the More It Seems Like Plants Might Be Cooperating and "Talking" to Each Other
Trees may look still and silent, but they’re engaged in a constant, complex dialogue—through air, soil, and even electricity.

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.
…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”
