In 2023, a record-breaking marine heatwave in the North Atlantic Ocean, driven by exceptionally weak winds and a shallow surface mixed layer, led to severe weather events across Europe and beyond. The heatwave, exacerbated by long-term climate change and reduced sulfate emissions from ships, serves as a warning for future extreme weather.

For #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's remember that the ocean is the heart of our life support system, an essential part of Earth's hydrological and global biogeochemical cycles, and a place of endless wonder.

Happy Constitution Day Denmark!

NASA has wanted to put people on #Mars for decades, but both technological and budget limitations mean that likely would not happen until the 2040s.

Now even that seems unlikeky.

The White House proposed spending some US$1 billion in 2026 on Mars plans, including research into new spacesuits and an astronaut landing system.

But a human mission to Mars would likely cost hundreds of billions of dollars spread over a number of years; the agency currently spends $25 billion a year on all of its programmes, and Trump has proposed cutting that to under $19 billion.
