Humanity
The climate of Earth is shaped by the buried carbon carried by rivers.
Stories of land and life are carried by every river. It carries dissolved organic matter—bits of carbon from soil, plants, and human activity—into the sea. This material was followed by scientists from China's Nanjing Institute of Environment Sciences and the Institute of Science Tokyo through three rivers that met the Yellow Sea.

The temperature of Earth is greatly influenced by tiny ocean shells.
Unbeknownst to us, marine life that forms microscopic calcium carbonate shells contributes to climate regulation. Researchers discovered that existing climate models under-represent the calcifying plankton, which includes coccolithophores, foraminifers, and pteropods, which are plankton-based shell builders.

The threats posed by today's melting glaciers are warned about by ancient sea levels.
According to a recent study, the global mean sea level changed significantly during the last Ice Age, not just at its conclusion, which is a significant reexamination of Earth's past. The 4.5 million-year-old work reframes scientists' understanding of ice sheets and climate pace.

Secrets, Luxury, and Trust: The Paris Trip Drama of Harry and Meghan
The Paris trip that was meant to be a glittering escape for Meghan Markle has turned into a high-stakes drama, placing tension at the heart of her marriage to Prince Harry. According to insider reports, Harry is reportedly furious over the revelation that another man—an unidentified billionaire—covered the majority of the lavish getaway. While the financial assistance itself is significant, the deeper concern lies in the lack of transparency and the implications it carries for trust, independence, and perception in the couple’s relationship.

Steam, Not Smoke
by Futoshi Tachino In Kenya’s Rift Valley, the ground exhales. Around Naivasha, at a place called Olkaria, wells tap rock-hot water and steam that have already helped Kenya become Africa’s geothermal leader — and one of the few countries where clean, firm power anchors the grid. Recent analyses put geothermal’s share of Kenya’s electricity around the mid-40s, with some reports citing roughly 47 percent in 2024. That matters in a drought-prone region where hydropower is variable and diesel is expensive.

Tuvalu's Three-Layer Plan for Continuity
by Futoshi Tachino At high tide on Fogafale—the long, thin islet that holds Tuvalu’s capital—you can stand on the lagoon shore and see the ocean through the breadfruit trees behind you. There isn’t much “away” in a place only a couple of meters above sea level. So Tuvalu has done something extraordinary: it is building a future on three layers at once—physical, legal-human, and digital—so that Tuvaluans can keep being Tuvaluans, no matter what the water decides.

Burps, Bottles, and a Bay in Tasmania
by Futoshi Tachino On Tasmania’s east coast, the tides in Spring Bay don’t just bring boats to harbor; they feed a farm. Here, Sea Forest cultivates a native red seaweed, Asparagopsis, that—when fed in tiny amounts to cows—can throttle the methane produced in their stomachs. It’s a climate fix born of the shoreline and aimed squarely at one of Oceania’s knottiest problems: livestock emissions. In both Australia and New Zealand, agriculture is a top emitter, and enteric methane from ruminants is the elephant (really, the cow) in the room. What’s different in Tasmania is that the solution now has a retail label, not just a lab result.

Will There Be a World War 4?
Will There Be a World War 4? The idea of World War 4 sounds terrifying — not just because of the destruction the world has already witnessed, but because today’s technology has advanced far beyond bullets, tanks, and simple bombs. Many believe that if a third world war ever begins, the fourth might be fought with ruins, sticks, and shadows. But is another global conflict really possible in our world?

Anunnaki, the sky god. Content Warning.
Episode 1 – The Descent from Nibiru In the cold outer edge of the Solar System, a vast crimson planet circled the Sun on a long, elliptical orbit. Its name was Nibiru, the wandering world of gold deserts, black seas, and glittering cities beneath a fading sky. The Anunnaki called it home. Their civilization was ancient beyond measure, and their knowledge stretched across space and matter. But their world was dying. The protective atmosphere of Nibiru was thinning, and the heat that once nurtured life was slipping away.

The Golden Quiet: How Autumn Teaches Us to Let Go
There comes a moment in the year when the world seems to take a slow, graceful breath — when summer’s laughter softens into a quiet sigh, and Autumn steps onto the stage like an old poet with a brush dipped in gold. The air itself changes — not just cooler, but gentler, scented with the faint sweetness of ripening apples and the earthy perfume of fallen leaves. It’s as if nature, weary from her summer dance, has decided to wrap herself in soft amber light and rest for a while.
